Universal has announced that Bruno has officially received an R-Rating by the MPAA. A few weeks ago the initial cut was hit with an NC-17. Its still unclear whether it was received through an appeal or Universal re-editing the film down to an R-rating. Though Universal did say that the filmmakers were prepping a new cut, but nothing has been confirmed whether thats how the R-rating was received.
This of course isn’t a surprise, why would it be? I’m curious on whether this rating was done through re-editing though and how much they cut out. Whatever the case is, when it comes to DVD time we will inevitably see the original cut.
Bruno hits theaters July 10th, 2009.
Anyone surprised by this news? Looking forward to Bruno?
