Christoffer writes: SF BIO AB, the company that distributes the LOTR films in Sweden, has problems with the censorship board here. ROTK has got an R (15 years old) rating here and SF is furious since this means less money for them. Right now they are working hard to cut ONE scene in the movie in order to give it a lower rating (11 years old). SF BIO has stated that this will probably result in that the tickets release will be post-poned from the 17th of November to the 1th of December.

Christoffer writes: This has been dismissed as a mere rumour by SF BIO AB and the say that they will NEVER cut the movie. And it will almost certainly receive a rating that allows 11 year old kids to see it. A movie has never been cut due to censorship in Sweden for over 10 years.
