"IT" is back - so is the movie as scary as Stephen King's classic 80s novel? We went along to the movie's premiere last night to feel the fear.
The movie IT could have a whopper of a problem in Russia.
Fast food outlet Burger King has filed a complaint with Russia's Federal Anti-Monopoly Service (FAS) with a demand that the horror film be banned.

The Hollywood Reporter spoke to a FAS spokeswoman who confirmed that the complaint had been received and was currently being evaluated as to whether the movie contained McDonald's advertising or product placement.
