Jack Black Gets Censored
Judd Apatow's stone-age comedy, The Year One, had to be edited to pass the Motion Picture Association of America's approval board.
After receiving a hard "R" rating, producer Judd Apatow ("Pineapple Express") and director Harold Ramis ("Analyze That") appeared before the MPAA appeals board to request that the film be granted a more lenient "PG-13" rating.
Apparently, the MPAA was not moved by their pitch, because they refused to change their initial ruling. After the filmmakers made several cuts to the film, the MPAA has now revised the rating for the film, and it will be released with a "PG-13" rating.
"The Year One" also stars Michael Cera ("Juno"), Olivia Wilde ("Turistas") and Paul Rudd ("Role Models").
Synopsis courtesy of Sony Pictures:
When a couple of lazy hunter-gatherers (Jack Black and Michael Cera) are banished from their primitive village, they set off on an epic journey through the ancient world in Columbia Pictures' comedy "Year One".
"The Year One" debuts June 19, 2009!
