A brand-new list of MPA movie rankings has actually exposed that Wes Anderson‘s upcoming film Asteroid City has actually been offered an R-rating. However, the movie’s present score includes a note that Anderson is preparing to appeal the choice with the C.A.R.A. Appeals board. Although the film will sign up with the tiny 1.4% that appeal the Motion Picture Association’s score choices, there is no warranty that the appeal versus the R-rating will be a success.


According to the listing, Asteroid City has actually been offered a strong score for “brief graphic nudity.” As there are relatively no other elements of the film that have actually offered the MPA cause for issue, Anderson’s appeal might be reversed, however it might likewise require the director to make some small cuts to the last film to protect a lower score.

The job of decreasing a film’s score is no simple accomplishment, as the appeals board has actually been established to provide rankings that function as a “best reflection of the opinion of most American parents about the suitability of that motion picture for viewing by their children.” The main point in favor of Asteroid City is that there do not appear to be any other significant factors for the movie being struck with an unanticipated R score than its minute of nudity.
