The Jordanian official news agency Petra has reported that a member of parliament has demanded that the government prosecutes those responsible for screening the latest film "Bruce Al Mighty" by Hollywood comedian actor Jim Carey in Jordanian cinema houses. The agency, which refused to reveal the identity of the parliament member, added that an immediate order was given to stop showing the film in every movie theater.

According to the London based Elaph, it was stated that the parliament official referred to the film as an insult to God and a disgrace to all religions. Carey was also reprimanded for playing the leading role of Bruce, who in the film plays the role of a journalist who is given the powers of God Almighty and is dared to compete with God.
