The Collider:
There’s been heavy speculation over whether Ridley Scott‘s sci-fi horror film Prometheus would receive an R-rating. The blockbuster film carries a big price tag, and a PG-13 rating would probably mean a much higher take at the box office. However, when Steve spoke with 20th Century Fox CEO Tom Rothman, Rothman said the movie “will not be compromised either way,” and the studio would accept whatever the MPAA handed down.
Update: Steve here. 20th Century Fox has confirmed Prometheus will be rated R for “sci-fi violence including some intense images, and brief language.” Our original story after the jump.
Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer walked into the 96th Academy Awards and blew everyone away, winning seven Oscars on the night. But is it Nolan's best film yet?
Cancel all proposed awards ceremonies and hand over the major gongs to Peter Farrelly's Ricky ;Stanicky.
Late Night with the Devil will be The Exorcist for a new generation.
I think this is good. I wouldn't want to compromise the story just to get a PG13 rating and this looks like it's going to be an awesome story.
Thank goodness. We need to show movie studios that R-rated films can still be good and successful.
Just one more reason to support this film. It takes no prisoners. I love ridley scott
fantastic.
when u look who are writers and what they did before Prometheus u cant expect anything good + ridley didnt make good film for quite some time,but im still optimist ! pls be good
