Two major auteur-driven films coming before year’s end have scored ratings from the MPA.
First up, David Fincher’s “The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth” has landed an R for “some strong/disturbing violence, bloody images, pervasive language, sexual content, nudity and drug use.”
Meanwhile, Robert Eggers’ “Werwulf” has scored its R for “strong bloody/disturbing violent content, gore, sexual assault, graphic nudity and strong sexual content.”
The ratings also suggest both films are now finished with Fincher having to have locked his final edit of “Cliff Booth” in order to garner the rating. The movie’s expected to have its first screening this weekend ahead of its release on November 25th.
“Werwulf” isn’t surprising with its rating as Rggers has long called this his darkest and most extreme film yet. Set in 13th century England, the story sees a mysterious creature stalk the land as local folklore becomes a terrifying reality. Aaron Taylor Johnson leads the cast.
Focus Features will release “Werwulf” on Christmas Day.
