After months of speculation it seems the matter of which rating the MPAA would assign Ridley Scott's upcoming "Prometheus" has been settled quietly. A presale ticket stub (left) posted on line by an IMDB user reveals the rating, which had not been formally announced. To fans hoping to see the film Scott intended to make this is good news, though it may of course mean fewer tickets sold overall. And that's been the debate/discussion all along: artistic integrity vs cash money.
Of course a word of caution is needed here. Since there has been no formal announcement it could be that the ticket agency simply made an assumption and took it upon themselves to print the "R" on the ticket. Maybe they just got tired of waiting for a decision. Or it could be that the person who posted the image has a decent knowledge of photoshop and was of a mind to make some mischief. Impossible to tell for certain at this point. But if this ticket turns out to be genuine and the rating is confirmed kudos should go to 20th Century Fox for staying their hand and giving Scott his way.
