Terrence Malick's Latest Retitled To the Wonder
The previously untitled, Ben Affleck/Rachel McAdams-starring project due later this year has also received an R rating for "some sexuality and nudity." Ugh. This calls for a petition! Meanwhile the film still awaits an official release date; stay tuned here for details as events warrant. [CARA via Film Stage]

Is this a sign that it's actually done? They wouldn't submit for a rating if there are substantial changes still to be made, right?
I think the only unequivocal sign that a Malick film is done is when it has opened theatrically. I picture him cutting, tweaking, revising, rewriting everything until the prints ship.
Even that's not a certainty, given how we got multiple cuts of New World in the theater.
This is Lost In Translation all over again. Same rating for same reason. On the bright side, this hopefully means McAdams nudity. 😀
Alas, I think it's Olga Kurylenko nudity. ("Alas," ha.)
Since this IS Malick, too bad the MPAA doesn't take into account the 30+ extraneous minutes of nature that counterbalance the 20 seconds of nudity; or the fact that half the audience will either have departed the theatre or be asleep by then.
