Steven Spielberg’s Name Blacked Out in Lebanese Movie Theaters

This is insane. But thankfully, the Sureté Generale is open to talk about it: First, you have to visit their directorate, fill an application form and if it got approved, they’ll be able to talk about the matter.
Update: L’Orient Le Jour spoke to an SG official who said that they did not ask Cinema City to cover Spielberg’s name.
“Spielberg’s name is on the black list, and we could have legally banned the movie.” he said. “But these days we’re being flexible in implementing the law”
