Cinema Sins: Controversial Movie Posters Too Dangerous To Release

With recent posters for ‘Sin City: A Dame to Kill For’ getting banned due to Eva Green’s nipples and Terry Gilliam’s ‘The Zero Theorem’ getting blocked because of Christoph Waltz bare space butt, the MPAA is still not afraid to put the kibosh on a risque film poster.

Complaints about the blood on her dress implying sexual assault led to the poster being banned, which once again brought up the age old question of which is worse: demonic possession or sexual assault?
