Summer is here and, especially with a new Star Wars film in theaters, that means we’re well into the summer movie season. This year, two big titles are Supergirl and Scary Movie. Supergirl releases late next month and the next superhero film in the DCU has been given its rating from the MPA. According to the new ratings bulletin, Supergirl has been rated PG-13 for sequences of strong violence, action, language, and smoking.
Supergirl will be directed by Craig Gillespie and scripted by Ana Nogueira. It’s based on the comic series Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, written by Tom King and illustrated by Bilquis Evely. After her father is murdered and the one responsible is still out there, a young alien girl named Ruthye Marye Knoll seeks out Supergirl to help her on a vicious mission. She wants revenge, and if Supergirl doesn’t help her, she’ll do it herself, whatever the cost.
Supergirl stars Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl, Matthias Schoenaerts as Krem of the Yellow Hills, Emily Beechum as Alura, Jason Momoa as Lobo, David Krumholtz as Zor-El, and Eve Ridley as Ruthye Marye Knoll.
Supergirl flies into theaters on June 26.
The Wayans brothers are back with a new Scary Movie and they’re not known for holding back when it comes to raunchy comedy. The MPA has stamped the irreverent comedy with an R Rating for crude sexual content, graphic nudity, strong violence, and drug content and language throughout.
The Wayans Brothers wrote the screenplay for the new film with Rick Alvarez, who has previously worked with members of the family on multiple projects, including A Haunted House, A Haunted House 2, Fifty Shades of Black, Naked, Sextuplets, Dance Flick, Little Man, White Chicks, and Scary Movie 2, among other things.
Directed by Michael Tiddes, who was the helm of the Haunted House movies, Fifty Shades of Black, Naked, and Sextuplets (and don’t forget Half Baked: Totally High), Scary Movie 6 stars Anna Faris and Regina Hall, reprising the roles of Cindy Campbell and Brenda Meeks.
Other returning cast members include Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Lochlyn Monroe, Dave Sheridan, Cheri Oteri, Chris Elliott, and Jon Abrahams. Newcomers include Olivia Rose Keegan, Savannah Lee Nassif, Cameron Scott Roberts, Sydney Park, Gregg Wayans, Ruby Snowber, Damon Wayans Jr., Kim Wayans, Heidi Gardner, and Benny Zielke.
Sleepaway Camp‘s Felissa Rose and Terrifier producer Michael Leavy are featured in the Terrifier 3 parody sequence.
