KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysia has rejected an appeal to reconsider the ban o­n the Hollywood film Daredevil starring Ben Affleck because it contains "excessive violence," officials said today.

Distributor 20th Century Fox had appealed to the Film Censorship Board seeking a review after the state-owned Film Censorship Board imposed a ban two weeks ago.

The film is an adaption of the Marvel Comics character Daredevil.

When contacted, 20th Century Fox declined to comment o­n the verdict. "We have no comments," o­ne official told AFP .

The movie, originally scheduled for general screening beginning Thursday, was banned from Malaysian screens February 11.
