Just as we were celebrating the end of the whole Beauty and the Beast gay scene drama, another movie remake has come under the spotlight.

Power Rangers, the movie based on the popular 90s TV series, is reportedly under the review of the Malaysian Censorship Board (LPF) due to a minor lesbian moment.

According to a report by The Star Online, a scene in the movie features the Yellow Power Ranger, Trini, coming to terms with her sexual orientation, which is a no no under LPF's guidelines.

This came after the film's director Dean Israelite told US entertainment site The Hollywood Reporter in a recent interview that Trini's gay moment is "pivotal to the film".

The film, which was supposed to open in Malaysian cinemas on 23 March, has also been reportedly pulled from cinema listings.

Speaking to Channel News Asia, TGV's senior marketing manager Celeste Koay said that the move was just a precautionary measure.

“To avoid any issues that may arise, we pulled (the movie) from the cinema listing at the moment, as the film is still undergoing the Malaysian Censorship Board’s (LPF) review,” she was quoted as saying.
