Comedy actor Seth Rogen has lashed out at bosses of a U.S. cinema chain after his new film, Zack And Miri Make A Porno, was banned from its theatres.
Bosses at The Megaplex Theatres in Utah towns Salt Lake City, Ogden, Lehi, and Sandy have decided not to show Rogen's new comedy amid fears it may be too crude for viewers.
The film, starring Rogen and Elizabeth Banks, centres on two desperate friends who launch an amateur porn studio.
Rogen insists the cinema bosses are being hypocritical - choosing to air controversial horror flicks, while claiming his film's sex and nudity scenes will be too much for movie fans.
He says, "Some people have an issue with porno - just with the word 'porno' - which I think is crazy. Everyone has sex. Everyone likes having sex.
"They have no problem playing Saw V, which is literally about people torturing themselves. A porno movie is the exact opposite - it's designed to bring joy to the world.
"People have been banning our posters and the Saw V poster they're fine with - literally a guy with a dead person's face cut off and strapped to his face, and no one has a prob with him."
