Movie posters cause controversy

Quantum, Zack & Wanted face bans

Sep 4th 2008

We're not sure what's going on the world of movie posters at the moment but it seems you can't put one up without annoying someone somewhere. Quantum Of Solace, Zack And Miri Make A Porno and Wanted have all faced bans this week for a variety of reasons.

First up was the Wanted poster, which campaigners are calmly tearing down as we speak, after it was banned for promoting violence.

Then Zack And Miri Make A Porno's ad was banned by the MPAA for being too sexually suggestive despite the fact it featured its leads fully clothed.

And now the paper ad for the next Bond flick faces a ban after anti-gun protestors took issue with the heat Daniel Craig's packing on the Quantum Of Solace poster.

Let's hope that Harry Potter watches what he's doing with his wand when its time to unleash the delayed ad for Half-Blood Prince...
