Werwulf and The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth, Digi Mart USA News: Two major auteur-driven films due before the end of the year have received ratings from the Motion Picture Association (MPA).
David Fincher’s “The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth” has been rated R for “some strong/disturbing violence, bloody images, pervasive language, sexual content, nudity and drug use.” The rating suggests Fincher has locked his final edit, which is required to obtain a rating. The film is expected to have its first screening this weekend ahead of its release on November 25th.
Robert Eggers’ “Werwulf” has also received an R rating for “strong bloody/disturbing violent content, gore, sexual assault, graphic nudity and strong sexual content.” The rating is not surprising, as Eggers has long described the film as his darkest and most extreme yet.
Set in 13th-century England, “Werwulf” follows a mysterious creature stalking the land as local folklore becomes a terrifying reality. Aaron Taylor Johnson leads the cast.
Focus Features will release the film on Christmas Day.
