PENN'S MISSING MOVIE ROLE WAS 'EXPERIMENTAL'

SEAN PENN has brushed off rumours he demanded his role in new movie CROSSING OVER be cut because he objected to a controversial scene in the film.

Sean Penn at The 34th Cesar Film Awards 2009 held at the Theatre du Chatelet - Press Room, Paris, France - 27.02.09

Penn shot scenes playing an enforcement agent in the drama, starring Harrison Ford and Ashley Judd.

When the film debuted in the U.S. this month (Mar09) without the actor, rumours swirled he was outraged by a controversial scene - where an Iranian woman believed to have dishonoured her family is killed by her brother - and demanded his role be cut.

Penn has brushed off the claims, insisting his part was never confirmed to make the final edit.

His spokesperson tells the New York Post, "Sean's portion of the film was somewhat experimental as it had a mystical quality that the rest of the film did not have. His not being in the final edit was a creative decision of which he was aware."
