PG-13 or R? JACOB’S LADDER Remake Scores MPAA Rating

Jesse Williams

Director David M. Rosenthal’s remake of Adrian Lyne Jacob’s Ladder starring Jesse Williams hasn’t released a trailer, a poster, or even a single still. But today we have confirmation that it’s still on target to hit theaters this February.

This confirmation comes to us via the MPAA who just handed the new film an R-rating for “language, some violence, sexuality and drug content.” Meh. Not bad. Could have been PG-13.

The remake hits theaters February 1, 2019.
