District 9 is rated ‘R’ by the MPAA David, June 24, 2009June 25, 2009 Rope of Silicon has posted an update of various ratings of upcoming films, one of them is District 9.Here’s the description of why District 9 is rated R:Rated R For bloody violence and pervasive language.Interesting. It may seem those rumors of this film being grittier are coming true. While the PG-13 may have helped in the box office and attracting a more general audience, I think your ‘general audience’ won’t understand this type of a film anyways, if you know what I mean. I fully respect Sony’s stance on this film and it will be turn this film up a notch as not a Sci-Fi doc which has limited violence and representing a National Geographic program but a serious Sci-Fi hardcore film that, in my opinion, will bring in surprises to us and the film world.

This is bad and good news. Bad because I won’t be able to see it in the cinema. Good because that long wait for the dvd release should be worth it
It wasnt going to be a huge hit. And shit, look at the Hangover, that’s R and it’ sraking in the cash.
It’s too bad some people won’t be able to see it, but at least there wouldn’t be parents bringing little children to this… but you never know. When I went to go see Watchmen, somebody brought their child who probably wasn’t even 10 yet. ><
Yea, I guess I’ll have to have mai dad get the tickets for me. I’ve been told by almost everyone that I could pass for an 18 year old so, hopefully it’ll work out… Besides, you need to be 18 or have a parent to get the tickets, not when you get them checked. You can buy them during pre-sell time for the first week then when you go to see it you won’t have to worry about showing your ID.
