Prometheus To Be Rated R


Rejoice nerds! Following an 18 rating in Spain and a 15 rating here in the UK, it has been revealed via a movie ticket (these things always surface in the most unexpected places) that Prometheus will be R-rated in the USA.  There has been plenty of speculation amongst Alien fans whether the movie would be rated PG-13 or R, as the most cost-effective decision would be to rate it PG-13 in order to rake in more money, but on the other hand there were plenty of quotes from Ridley Scott and Fox CEO Tom Rothman hinting that the movie will receive an R rating, particurally one from Rothman last week in an interview with Collider:

“I can assure the fans—I’m very aware of their concern—absolutely they can take it that the film will not be compromised either way.  So if that means that the film is R, then it’ll be an R.  If it’s PG-13, then it’ll be a PG-13, but it will not be compromised.”
