The
fans of New Moon have won over the Swedish film censors.
On Friday, the same day as the highly anticipated Twilight
sequel was to open, the Chamber Court in Stockholm, after an appeal by
distrib Nordisk Film, overruled the censor's decision to ban everyone
under 15 from seeing the vampire film.
The court decided that the rating was to be lowered to 11, which also
means that anyone between the ages of 7 and 11 can see the film if
accompanied by an adult.
The previous decision to rate the film 15 caused an uproar among the
many Twilight fans, many of whom are under that age.
New Moon is rated as 12A in the UK.
