LOS ANGELES (TheWrap) - "Dream House," a thriller starring real-life newlyweds Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz, has lost a bid to have its "R" rating softened.
The appeals board of the Motion Picture Assn. of America said Wednesday that the movie merited the rating -- which requires U.S. viewers under 17 to be accompanied by an adult -- because of "some violence."
The film's producer still believes it will ultimately receive a PG-13 rating.
"They gave us a list of several things in the movie that they thought should be cut," Greg Mielcarz, Morgan Creek's executive VP of marketing, told TheWrap. "We're going to ... work with them together to ensure that we receive a PG-13."
The Universal Pictures release revolves around a family who discover that their new home was the murder scene of a mother and her children. It was directed by Jim Sheridan, and is set for release on September 30.
In order to have a rating changed, two-thirds of the members of the appeals board have to agree that the rating is "clearly erroneous." The MPAA says that the board reviews between 800 and 900 films each year and that fewer than a dozen ratings are appealed each year.
