A chain of theaters in the always conservative state of Utah, Have banned Kevin Smith’s new film, Zack and Miri Make a Porno, which is opening Friday on about 2,800 screens.

Megaplex Theaters was the same chain that refused to show the award-winning and critcally acclaimed Brokeback Mountain. The GM for the chain of 70 screens in five theaters stated that they have a strict policy of declining movies that glorify sexuality, but they have screened films such as Forgetting Sarah Marshall which has many sexual situations, including male frontal nudity, and the movie Sex Drive, which you might remember from a previous report here as being the movie accidently shown instead of a Disney film recently.

The film was originally rated NC-17 but after appeals and concessions, received an R rating. So far this is the only such banning of the movie according to distributors.
