Judd Apatow, producteur de Superbad
(voir preview + extrait) et réalisateur/co-scénariste de Knocked-Up
(voir review) et The 40 Year Old Virgin
:
Well, you know, when Freaks and Geeks
(ndr: voir fiche IMDB, série créée par Apatow) got cancelled, we thought, Wouldn't it be great if we got picked up by Showtime and we could do the cursing, really frank version, where you saw them smoke pot and you saw how messed up they really were? And then Showtime never called.
There are obviously great comedies that aren't R-rated, but you can certainly do a very honest, frank, sweet, and also disgusting type of comedy with an R rating. I always enjoyed writing for The Larry Sanders Show
because it was fun to hear Rip Torn say f***. To me, it's just about showing how people really express themselves. I mean, this conversation is R.

et acteur/producteur (Knocked-Up, The 40 Year Old Virgin)
But if you're going to make a realistic movie, if the characters are over 15, it has to be R-rated.
R-rated dans le texte (voir définition de la MPAA) :
APATOW: I always talk about Jack Klugman. In fact, when I was trying to get unconventional
kids on Freaks and Geeks — that's a code word I use —
ROGEN: — for Jewish. (Laughs) There are too many goddamn unconventionals
at this country club!
APATOW: I've got to go to temple with my unconventional friends
. But I always talked about Jack Klugman. Like, if you looked at all the great old television comedy, it was always Jack Klugman and Tony Randall and Phil Silvers.
R-rated c'est interdit aux moins de 17 ans non-accompagnés, ok l'extrait ci-dessus est soft mais il témoigne d'un certain esprit politiquement incorrect, on va voir si ça pénalisera ou non le film mais en cette fin de saison la concurrence est légère, le film a tout d'un futur succès. Moi je le vois ce soir, le film sort vendredi (sortie France le 31 octobre sous le titre Super Grave
).
