The “horror” has begun even before the release of the Pulau movie. The producer of the movie, Fred Chong has confirmed that Pulau has been banned from screening in Terengganu by the state government, but he will not stop there.

According to a report by Kosmo, Fred said that the appeal has been prepared and he is currently waiting for support from the Malaysian National Film Development Corporation (FINAS) before leaving for Terengganu on Monday (20 February) in an attempt to convince the state government to lift the ban.

While Fred acknowledged that Terengganu only has 3 cinemas, he said that he’s fearful of the possibility of the other states following suit. 

“You might see only 3 cinemas, but I fear for the possibility of this happening in other states, which may happen in 30 to 60 locations.”

He added TGV cinemas in the state received letters from the Kemaman City Council who informed them NOT to release Pulau.

In a virtual interview shared by F8Buzz, Fred said that before the release of the movie, his team has already suffered a loss of RM500,000 after many sponsors withdrew themselves from promoting the movie following the negative reception of the trailer.

“My sponsors told me there have been too much negative noises, and with people calling Pulau softporn, we don’t want to be associated with it,” Fred said.

“Has anyone seen Pulau?”

In response to the accusation of the genre of Pulau, Fred has a question for the public – “Has anyone seen the film?”

He also said that the only people who have seen Pulau are FINAS, LPF, and Skim Wajib Tayang, who have all approved of the movie. He added that it’s unfair to make any comments about Pulau prior to the screening, and wants the public to know that his team has happily adhered to LPF’s suggestions about censoring 4 scenes from the movie.

Pulau

Fred also took the time to share the message that Pulau intends to send to its audience.

“It’s about forgiving and forgetting the hate, so that you can move on.”

Ada yang kurang senang dengan treler filem terbabit, pemilihan pelakon pembantu Pui Yi dan tak kurang yang mengecam poster filem terbabit.Fred Chong dan WebTVAsia yang telah menerbitkan banyak filem berunsurkan kenegaraan, penyatuan kaum dan banyak lagi kini berhadapan dengan penarikan diri penaja dan rakan strategik gara-gara publisiti negatif tersebut.Terkini, kerajaan negeri Terengganu pula telah mengharamkan tayangan filem Pulau di seluruh pawagam negeri pantai timur tersebut.Untuk rekod, sama seperti filem-filem lain, dalam atau luar negara, Pulau telah ditapis oleh Lembaga Penapis Filem dan mendapat kelulusan untuk tayangan Ogos tahun lalu.*********Percutian sekumpulan anak muda bertukar menjadi mimpi ngeri yang tidak berkesudahan selepas pertaruhan yang kalah memaksa mereka bermalam di sebuah pulau terpencil.Ketika mereka terjumpa sebuah perkampungan terbiar yang misterius di sana, mereka secara tidak sengaja mematahkan mantera lama yang diletakkan untuk menahan semangat antagonis yang terperangkap di pulau itu.Satu demi satu, mereka menderita akibat perbuatan yang akhirnya mencengkam dan menimbulkan kemarahan makhluk jahat yang memerlukan darah manusia untuk terus hidup.Satu-satunya jalan keluar adalah di tangan seorang gadis yang sangat perlu menggunakan kuasanya untuk menguraikan sejarah yang meresahkan yang berkaitan dengan kisah cinta silang budaya yang tercemar.Filem Pulau dibintangi Alif Satar, Amelia Henderson, Ikmal Amry, Sanjna Suri, Joey Leong, Vikar, Evie Feroza dan Jazmy Juma turut dibantu olehSabronzo (Dolla), Namron, Pui Yi, Cedric Loo, Wan Hanafi Su, Mark Odea, Alexender Henderson & Harris Annuar.Pulau akan menemui penggemar filem seram bermula 9 Mac 2023.Dalam Talian • 17 Februari 2023#filempulau #fredchong #pulau • • • • • • • •• ???????? ????? & ?????????? -hello@f8buzz.com• ??????? ?????????/???????? & ??????????? -gerila@f8buzz.com• • • • • • • •???? ??????? ??????? -http://www.f8buzz.com• ????? & ??????? ??????? ????? ?? ???????? ???? -http://t.me/f8buzz• ???????, ??????, ????? ??????? ????? & ??????? ????? ?? ???????? -http://t.me/f8buzzsembang• ????? ??????? ?????? -http://www.youtube.com/channel/F8Buzz• ????? ?????? ?? ????? ?????? -http://www.instagram.com/f8buzzhttp://www.facebook.com/f8buzzhttp://www.tiktok.com/f8buzzhttp://www.twitter.com/f8buzz

Fellow movie enthusiasts, do you think it’s a wise move from the Terengganu state government? Regardless, we hope that Fred and his team can reach a common ground with Terengganu state government in reversing the decision to ban the movie.
