Licorice Pizza Receives R Rating From MPAA, Signaling Completion

 

Afternoon -

While in all likelihood Licorice Pizza completed post-production some time ago, the MPAA made it official by slapping PTA with his usual R Rating today. You can read the press release here.

The naughty bits are for language, sexual material, and some drug use.

Surely much more to come in the very near future!

New PTA Film Officially Titled LICORICE PIZZA, Trailer Imminent

 


!!

G'morning

The Film Stage reports today that Paul Thomas Anderson's new coming-of-age high school film is no longer called Soggy bottom and is instead called... LICORICE PIZZA

What's more, a trailer establishing that title is completed and has been making the rounds in 35mm in front of some screenings in London and in Los Angeles and reportedly features Sean Penn and Maya Rudolph and *catches breath*  Tom Waits, among the other confirmed cast we've already reported on.

Seems fair to expect the trailer to reach the annals of YouTube soon and we'll post it here as soon as it has.

The typeface for the title has been revealed on the film's newly opened social media accounts (here, here & here)

Stay tuned!
