According to Film Ratings, A24‘s upcoming surrealist comedy Dream Scenario has officially been given an R-rating by the MPAA for “language, violence and some sexual content.”
The film will be led by Oscar winner Nicolas Cage as Paul Matthews, a professor who becomes famous after appearing in everyone’s dreams. This marks Cage’s first project with A24 and producer Ari Aster.
