Not surprisingly, director Fede Alvarez revealed today that his Evil Dead remake earned an NC-17 from the MPAA. Of course, seeing as how it’s a studio project, the horror pic will eventually be watered down for the theatrical release.
The filmmaker tweeted, “Was proud of scoring a NC17 when submitted! But we had to cut stuff out to get an R and get the film into theaters.“
Although Evil Dead will be making its silver screen debut with an R rating, expect news on the inevitable “Unrated Director’s Cut” Blu-ray/DVD shortly.
