The rating on Prometheus has been as much of a controversy as it has been for The Expendables 2 (Yes, I will take every opportunity I can to talk about my other most anticipated movie of the summer.)
I and every other film fan have been anticipating an R-rating for it. Just last week, I posted an audio clip here that I said all but sealed the deal on it being an R film. There was still talk about it being cut down to a PG-13 that Tom Rothman debunked since he was saying he would not compromise Ridley’s vision, and that he would go with whatever product Ridley would make.
Fox is now confirming that it is RATED R “for sci-fi violence, including some intense images, and brief language.”
“Sci-fi violence.” I’m loving that. Bring on the body horror, Ridley! We’re all waiting for it come June 8th. IN 3D!

R!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice to see my two most anticipated movies of the year with the most uncompromising ratings without being “not rated” or the unimaginable NC-17.
I wasn’t too bothered as long as Scott’s vision was kept intact, but it’s probably a good thing that they aren’t trying to place it in a 4 Quadrant field of competition and have unrealistic expectations that everyone’s grandma would have to go see it for it to be considered a “success”. It ain’t going to do Avengers or TDKR numbers and shouldn’t have to.
Parasitic worm in eye, space snake doing unspeakable things to an arm, heads melting…and that’s just the trailers. Children, women and old folks…move along. This is a once-in-a-generation geek event.
WHAT?!?!?! no excessive Charlize Theron nudity listed in the ratings box. WEAK
Actually that would be a pretty kickass title for a movie “Sci-Fi Violence”. June 8 cannot get here soon enough. IMAX 3D!!
Agreed, she’s not getting younger. In not nude pushups now, when?
