"We're still arranging the date. We have to wait as this mass organisation (the FPI) is more powerful than our law," he said.

The Indonesian Ulema Council, the country's highest Islamic body, has urged Muslims to boycott the film but has stopped short of issuing a fatwa or religious edict on the matter.

Muslim leaders in September condemned plans for Japanese porn star Maria Ozawa, popularly known as Miyabi, to visit the country to play herself in a comedy movie called "Menculik Miyabi" (Kidnapping Miyabi).

The actress consequently "postponed" her trip.

In December, Australian movie "Balibo" was banned because it depicts the alleged murder of five Australian-based journalists by invading Indonesian forces in East Timor in 1975.

Indonesia claims the men died in crossfire.
