`Quantum of Solace` given PG-13 classification in the USA

25-Sep-2008 • Quantum Of Solace

According to a slightly updated version of the second TV spot, aired recently on US television (click here to view online), the 22nd James Bond film "Quantum of Solace" has been given a PG-13 certificate for its release in North America.

The PG-13 rating states it includes "intense sequences of violence and action and some sexual content".

Over in the UK, the British Board of Film Classification are yet to issue a rating for "Quantum of Solace", but sources say it will be given the new 12A certificate. Contrary to popular belief, the 12A certificate was not introduced for the film Spider-Man, and the first film that got the certificate was actually The Bourne Identity. However, Spider-Man and other films still on general release at the time were reclassified as 12A. Die Another Day (2002) was the first Bond film to be classified 12A.
