IMDB report "R" rating!

BOOM

nice. had to think, if those audio bites on youtube were legit, theres no way the sounds could translate into any scene that wasnt R worthy...sounds messed up.

WTF isnt this NC-17?!?! ...I think we should start an online campaign...oh wait...

I don't think this movie could ever need NC17 rating.

Full relief at this rating, and to be honest there is no way they could achieve a film as shocking as "ALIEN" without an R rating. I agree with you "gameover man" regarding the audio track! It's pretty dark and I swear there is the sound of his arm breaking or something splitting and ripping during the cobra alien attack. Can't wait.

That audio track is really awesome because we only hear sounds and we can't see anything so everything's left for our imagination. It was really creepy. And with my wide imagination I heard lots of things in that audio, lol : D Arm breaking, water splashes/drowning, oh lots of things.

THERE IS HOPE IN HUMANITY YET! Bring back the 18s and Rs..I want gore like the 80s-90s

Do you have a link? The collider.com article just repeats the same supposed evidence of a pic of a movie ticket with a big "R" on it. I don't see any announcement from the MPAA anywhere.

where are these soundbites?

@GreatBoosUp. http://www.imdb.com/news/movie Second story down, the actual article wouldn't let me copy a direct link. @the coming. Search back over the discussions for the past 3 or 4 days and you should find an entry on "disturbing sounds" has a link to the file, its also on YouTube , search Prometheus audio reversed.

OK I'm all for hoping that the movie will be rated "R". But that Collider article doesn't prove anything. They're basically just assuming its rated "R" based on a advanced-sale movie ticket. I'm pretty sure the theater that sold that particular ticket just put an "R" in their system to play it safe. That's probably why the ticket has an R on it. And imdb has a bad track record when it comes to correct information.

This is the text of the post on the imdb .com site: 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. According to a pre-sale ticket stub, the MPAA has handed down an R-rating for Prometheus. I'm not sure if that automatically makes the movie better, but I'm happy for the opportunity to see an ambitious summer blockbuster with an R-rating. The last R-rated sci-fi summer blockbuster I can recall is 2003's The Matrix Reloaded. However, it's late and I'm tired, so I might be forgetting another R-rated summer sci-fi movie released since then. Prometheus opens in 3D on June 8th. » Sorry but I still don't see where the MPAA has said that Prometheus will be rated 'R'

@GreatBoosUp Exactly. Its just an assumption made based on a movie ticket with an "R" on it. LOL

Okay, maybe it isn't true. Maybe it is another clever marketing ploy for the hardcore fans. Maybe. But who can't help but feel good at least a little? I for one, do! If it is PG-13, however, I will not like this one bit. But I am giving Scott and Co the benefit of the doubt.

I think Prometheus will have an 'R' rating. From what I've seen, it's too intense and frightening not be 17 and older for admission.

http://www.aintitcool.com/node/55525 It's official, confirmed by fox and the MPAA

@ Appleguy. so, good sense prevails.

Anyone read about an official statement from FOX' Tim Rothman? I'm sure he would be quick to adress this fact considering our expectations.

I haven't seen any official confirmations, yet. Just a print on a ticket on some article on the internet. I also have a ticket for an IMAX opening in UK, and it says 15 (which would be the equivalent for R) but it also says TBC. I am almost sure now that eventually it will be rated R, but on the official MPAA website there is no official statement yet (while there is for TDKR, for example). Although we can be optimistic, I would wait for a real official confirmation before saying that it's official.

@NoXWord and Mercenary7 .... In your opinion does something count as official if the top story on this website is that Prometheus is officially rated "R"...http://www.prometheus-movie.com/news/188 ?

Again, all these reports are based off that one ticket image. And now a site is supposedly saying "FOX confirmed the R rating". This would be great, but I'll believe it when FOX or the MPAA officially announce it.

Blitz, I hadn't seen that piece of news, yet, but I agree with draekus. We only have our tickets and a second hand statement. As I said, I am 99% sure that it is rated R, but I'll wait for some real official confirmation to concede that last 1%

@Blitz Which is based on what? Why don't you give us some proof straight from FOX or MPAA? Until then, NOTHING is 100% clear.

Somebody on imdb posted a review [url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1446714/board/thread/198677296?p=1]Your text to link here...[/url] It's evident from this thread that the guy that posted the review is not an Alien fan, since he has no idea of what a Xenomorph is.
