Good News for Colin Firth Fans
Quote:
Canadian director Atom Egoyan's latest film, Where the Truth Lies, starring Kevin Bacon and Colin Firth, has received an NC-17 rating by the MPAA's ratings board, presumably because of a menage á trois scene featuring the two actors and Rachel Blanchard, the film's distributor, ThinkFilm, said Friday. In an interview with Reuters, producer Robert Lantos said that the scene in question cannot be edited since it was filmed with a single mastershot with no cut-away shots. He called it the movie's "pivotal scene" He said, "It cannot be cut without compromising the central scene of the narrative and thus rendering the mystery of the film incomprehensible." Lantos, the chairman of ThinkFilm, said that the company will appeal the rating.

I've never seen an NC-17 movie before (in the theater)...guess there's always a time to start. Personally, the thought of Colin Firth in any kind of sex scene means I'll go see the movie. While I might not really get excited about seeing him with Kevin Bacon too...it's not going to stop me.
It sounds like this movie will be full of sexy. |
