THR is reporting that the second ratings appeal for the Judd Apatow produced, Harold Ramis comedy Year One has failed. The film, starring Jack Black and Michael Cera, has been given an R rating for “sexual content and language”. They still have an option for resubmitting a further edited version, but for now Sony will have to accept the rating. The $75 million comedy is set to be released June 19th, 2009.
I had no idea this film was even close to being R-rated. The early trailers seem pretty clean. I figure they will edit this down to make more money, but I wouldn’t mind either way what the rating is.
Do you want to see an R-Rated Year One?
