Should The Book of Mormon make the transition to the silver screen, it would be one of the few R-rated movie musicals of the 21st century.
That’s certainly no small feat, and it would also serve as a rare R-rated, big-budget movie musical comedy.
While R-rated movie musicals aren’t unheard of, notably with movies like The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Once, The Blues Brothers, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, and Repo!
The Book of Mormon: The Movie is not a musical for kids, so it may be safe to assume that the film would aim for an R rating, if not PG-13.
