Emma Watson's 'Perks of Being a Wallflower' receives R rating by MPAA - rating appealed

The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) - which administers the motion picture rating system in the United States - has issued an "R" rating (Restricted/Under 17 not admitted without parent or adult guardian) to Emma Watson's next film to be released Perks of Being a Wallflower for teen drug and alcohol use, and some sexual references.

This has not been a favorable rating to the producers of the film, as an "R" rating reduces the number of attendees to the film. Less attendence, less income. Therefore, the producers have appealed the decision of the MPAA.

The film is not scheduled to come out until later in the year, so there is plenty of time for the appeal to be reviewed and decided on.

The movie is based on the book by novelist Stephen Chbosky and is set in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania during the 1991-1992 school year. The story follows the school year of the main character Charlie, played by Logan Lerman, and explores topics such as introversion and the awkward times of adolescence.

To keep to the spirit of the book it really should be R rated. I can't wait to see this and how Emma tackles her character.
 
It's too bad she's not going to the Oscars. I thought if she was going to go for the first time, it would be this year since Potter and My Week With Marilyn are both nominated. But I guess she as midterms to study for. :(
 
That's a shame for them. In the UK, mild drug and sexual references would mean an age 12 rated, or 15 at the very most.
 
It is a shame that she isn't free to go to the Oscars. The producers seem to be emphasising the 'old guard' so I don't think she was invited but it would have been nice to see her at the Vanity Fair after party. But her pursuing with her education is one of the many reasons I admire her and second year is a tough one.

I hate how she always misses out on the oscars + after parties. Oh well.
 
Im sure she was invited to the Oscars and the Baftas, but chose not to go. The only American awards show she's ever gone to was last years MTV movie awards.

I don't really see what the problem is with the R rating for Perks. To be honest, I'd rather it be rated R then have them cut out certain scenes just to get people to go to the film. If it's a good film then the rating shouldn't matter as much. Plus, if they do cut out certain scenes or tone things down the message of the film might not be told in the same way. But I'm sure they are going to appeal the rating and bring it down to PG-13. The content of Perks is pretty grownup and I hope the film reflects that. Anyways, I'm sure Emma will be lovely in it no matter what it's rated.

Emma Watson picked for 'Bling Ring'

Thesp to star in Sofia Coppola's new film


Sofia Coppola has tapped Emma Watson to star in "The Bling Ring," the true story of a group of teenagers who commit a string of celebrity burglaries.

Coppola will write and direct the pic, and will produce with brother Roman Coppola and Youree Henley. Executive producers are Fred Roos and Michael Zakin.

"I'm excited about the young cast we're assembling and I'm looking forward to shooting on location here in Los Angeles," Coppola said.

Though Watson has said she wants to dedicate more time to her studies, thesp has still found time for work, focusing more on small-budgeted projects post-"Harry Potter." She was recently seen in The Weinstein Co.'s "My Week With Marilyn" and just wrapped production on Fox Searchlight's "Perks of Being a Wallflower." She's also been tapped to star in David Yates' "Your Voice in My Head" for Warner Bros.

Coppola has made a habit of giving rising female stars material that's allowed them to break into more adult, such as Scarlett Johansson in "Lost in Translation" and, more recently, Elle Fanning in Coppola'ss last pic, "Somewhere." Watson is repped by WME and Markham, Froggatt & Irwin.
