Reitman said more people probably know about his movie because the scene went missing. "The most likely reason that they would have heard of it is because of the sex scene."

Jason Reitman says "I was sitting there in the theater, the scene was missing, and my immediate thought was, `Oh my God, Fox cut the scene out of my movie,'" Reitman told AP Radio in an interview. "And then I realized, `No, if it's at the end of the reel, the projector probably just accidentally cut it out.'" According to First Coast News.

It's a projection error - it was not Tom Cruise.

The blame of the missing scene was laid on Cruise, Holmes' fiance, speculating that he had pressured Reitman, son of "Ghost Busters" director Ivan Reitman, to remove the scene.

"That's a fun story. I'd read that story. The problem is that it's not true," Reitman said. "The problem with `projection error' is that it's the truth but it sounds like a lie. It sounds an awful lot like `wardrobe malfunction.'"

The filmmaker also said Holmes' sex scene is not at all steamy hot but quite dull as something you'd might see on the Disney Channel.

"Thank You for Smoking" - with the sex scene - will be released in slected cities March 17.
