Bruno was set to be released very shortly after Michael Jackson died on June 25. The problem was that Bruno featured a scene where La Toya Jackson was interviewed and Jacko’s phone number was stolen by the camp TV presenter.

This, rather inevitably, led to the scene being cut from the theatrical release of the movie. Not at the behest of the Jackson family but because Sacha Baron Cohen and the studio realized including the scene would be considered bad taste.

However, as expected, the scene has now been reinstated for the DVD release of the movie. Digital Spy reports that the last-minute edit from the film has been reversed for the DVD release, with the 90-second scene reinstated in its entirety.

I don’t see anything wrong with this as enough time has now passed since Michael Jackson’s passing that this scene is unlikely to cause offense to anyone. At least anyone who isn’t already offended by the nature of the film in the first place.
