I always love a little controversy, especially when theaters or the MPAA ban a piece of artwork. The other day on Eli Roth's official MySpace page a Manager at a Century Theaters outside of Las Vegas wrote a little blurb saying she had been informed that the poster for Lionsgate's Hostel: Part II was not allowed in her theater. Why? Read on for the skinny and check out Hostel: Part II in theaters June 8th.

Draculette writes on Eli Roth's MySpace, "I am Manager at a Century Theaters outside of Las Vegas and they sent us all an email today that said that Century/Cinamark Theaters are not allowed to put up the Hostel 2 Poster on a count of it being so ruthless! So, Century/Cinamark Theaters banned your poster at least all over Clark County but probably all of them. In case you don't know..."

What's so hilarious about this piece of news is that the MPAA approved the one sheet (here), so for a theater to deem it too much is just plain ridiculous. So much for my plan of being a giant piece of ground beef for Halloween next year...

This time, the story follows three women who, while studying abroad for the summer, learn the grim truth behind the Slovakian hostel and its international counterparts. German would play a wealthy girl trying to figure out her next step in life, Phillips would be her best friend and Matarazzo will be a tag-along.

Hostel FAN! 9:16pm, January 10, 2007 For christ fuckn sake. Nothing is wrong with the poster. I think we should ban people like that from being in the fucking movie theater. It's Eli's fucking story, let him tell it how he wants, he shouldn't have to modify a sic poster just cause it makes a few people queezy. It's not like anyone is gonna die, except for the chicks in the movie:) LOL! Hostel kicks ass and all who don't like Eli's stuff should fuck off! Not all poster are gonna be all pretty with flowers on them, some are gonna be sic, that's just how life is, and if they can't respect that, shame on them. They are a discrace to fan's like me who love this kinda shit!

TODD 3:54pm, January 15, 2007 i think people need to learn to live with it. when they walk into a movie theatre, they are asking for it (meaning they need to expect to see stuff like this)!!!
