Press screening of Beauty and the Beast canceled in Moscow
The USA representative office of the Walt Disney Company (The Walt Disney Company CIS) has canceled a press screening of the movie "Beauty and the Beast", which is based on the fairy tale of the same name, scheduled for March 6, 2017. Some "technical problems" are cited as the reason. The USA office of Walt Disney, responding to a request from the Novosti Kino portal, said that the new dates of events for the press would be specified additionally. Note that in USA the news that "Beauty and the Beast" will feature the first homosexual character in the movie projects of Walt Disney Studios caused a mixed reaction. State Duma deputy Vitaly Milonov appealed to the Minister of Culture with a proposal to check the movie for promoting same-sex relationships. The unconventional orientation of one of the characters became the reason for the cancellation of the showing of the picture in some American cinemas. For example, in the state of Alabama, the owner of a cinema refused to show "Beauty and the Beast", explaining his decision by the fact that he "cannot lead his grandchildren to the movie." Whether the project expects something similar in USA is still unknown. The movie is slated for release on March 16, 2017. Key roles in it were played by Emma Watson, Dan Stevens, Luke Evans, Evan McGregor, Gugu Mbata-Rowe, Emma Thompson, Stanley Tucci, Josh Gad, Ian McKellen, Kevin Kline and other popular Hollywood actors.
