According to Film Ratings, A24’s upcoming medieval fantasy film The Green Knight has officially been given an R-rating from the MPAA for “violence, some sexuality and graphic nudity.”
The film is directed and written by David Lowery (Ain’t Them Bodies Saints, The Old Man & the Gun) from a story based on the poem of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.
An epic fantasy adventure based on the timeless Arthurian legend, The Green Knight tells the story of Sir Gawain (Dev Patel), King Arthur’s reckless and headstrong nephew, who embarks on a daring quest to confront the eponymous Green Knight, a gigantic emerald-skinned stranger and tester of men.
From visionary filmmaker David Lowery comes a fresh and bold spin on a classic tale from the knights of the round table.
