The live-action version of Disney's fairytale "Beauty and the Beast" will be screened in local cinemas with minor cut on a "gay moment" scene.
"The film has been approved with a PG13 parental guidance classification, with a minor cut," said Malaysian Censorship Board (LPF) chairperson Abdul Halim Abdul Hamid as quoted by The Star Online.
The rating means that parental guidance is advisable for children below 13 years old.
The minor cut concerned a "gay moment" in the film, Abdul Halim was quoted as saying.
The movie had courted controversy after its director Bill Condon was reported in a UK magazine that the character Le Fou, played by actor Josh Gad, would have a “nice exclusively gay moment” in the movie.
Abdul Halim added that the LPF had to take note of Condon's announcement as it concerned a "sensitive" topic.
"We have approved the film so there is no more issue with the LPF. Once a film receives approval, it means it can be screened.
"However, the date of screening and where the screening takes place is not under LPF's jurisdiction," he said.
"We only look at the content and give a decision on whether the movie gets approved or not," he said and added that the matter of when the movie airs is up to the film's distributor and cinemas.
It was reported yesterday that the local release date for the movie had been postponed from its March 16 premiere due to an "internal review" but the reasons were at the time unclear.
Local cinema chains GSC and TGV had also promised refunds for its customers who pre-booked their tickets for the screenings.
The movie stars Emma Watson as Belle, Dan Stevens as the Beast and Luke Evans as Gaston.- Mkini
