Extended ‘Smaug’, ‘Lucy’ and ‘Kill the Messenger’ in Today’s MPAA Ratings Bulletin

Today’s bulletin includes a new PG-13 rating for the extended version of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug and a pair of R ratings for Luc Besson‘s Lucy and the Jeremy Renner-led thriller Kill The Messenger.

Finally, for whatever reason, Relativity has decided to surrender the R rating for The November Man starring Pierce Brosnan and Olga Kurylenko which was “for strong violence including a sexual assault, language, sexuality/nudity and brief drug use”, and go unrated… for now. I have to assume something will change before the August 29 release date.

I have included the complete bulletin directly below.
