Something just struck me as amusing - why don't they just go ahead and say it's rated R? Laughing Ya know?

Why would it be R? There are only a few curse words and no nudity (I think). Violence alone cannot garner an R... I think.

I dunno...I was thinking of the combination of the already gruesome Sweeney + Tim Burton....I guess we'll see, huh? Very Happy

No nudity depends on if they're doing the actual rape scene at the ball or not. I think in the script it's written that he's naked under his coat or something. So it might be partial nudity. And Sleepy Hollow, another Tim Burton movie was R for "graphic horror, violence and gore, and for a scene of sexuality". That actually sounds remarkably similar to Sweeney.

Well the sexual scene wasn't really that graphic, so maybe with some luck, it won't be so bad in Sweeney.

As for the violence, it's very possible that there may be so much violence and gore that the movie could be rated R, because like Kaiana said, Sweeney does sound a lot like Burton's Sleepy Hollow.

One example is the Patriot, that had so much blood and violence that it was rated R.
