Just because it's about making a porno, doesn't mean it is a porno, or so the producers of Kevin Smith's new film claim. According to News Askew, Kevin Smith's upcoming film Zack and Miri Make a Porno has been granted an NC-17 rating by the MPAA "for some graphic sexuality."

The rating is currently under appeal, though, which means the producers have asked the MPAA to take a closer look at the film for consideration of an R rating.

This isn't the first time Smith's View Askew Productions has been through this ordeal. A scene with hookers in Smith's Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back was cut to make the R rating, although the scene was included on the DVD.

Zack and Miri Make a Porno was released October 31st, 2008 and stars Elizabeth Banks, Seth Rogen, Craig Robinson, Gerry Bednob, Jason Mewes, Edward Janda, Nicholas Lombardi, Chris Milan. The film is directed by Kevin Smith.
