OREM — "Sons of Provo," the LDS Church-themed movie that was the center of controversy when DVD purchasers found a pornographic movie inside the case instead, has been restocked on bookstore shelves.

The mockumentary about a boy band with LDS members was released in theaters in February. The DVD was released in September, but copies were pulled from shelves after a Utah family reported that the "Sons of Provo" DVD they purchased featured the film "Adored: Diary of a Porn Star."'

Five DVDs were reported as misprints, according to the film's distributor, HaleStorm Entertainment. HaleStorm requested an immediate pull from all bookstores and has replaced the entire order of 40,000.

HaleStorm blames a Los Angeles company for printing the wrong cover on the DVDs. HaleStorm had a different company print the new covers. The new DVDs have artwork that is different from the originals.

The new artwork has a blue HaleStorm logo (the original run used orange) on the spine and back of the DVD.
