Culver City, Calif. - Sony Pictures Entertainment has pulled an R-rated trailer for the upcoming comedy “Not Another Teen Movie” from an Internet site. The Motion Picture Association of America, which rates films and advertisements, complained to the studio last week that R-rated trailers should not be shown on the Internet, where underage children can view them. MPAA President Jack Valenti said the ad, which featured profanity and partial nudity, was withdrawn immediately by Sony from the Redbandtrailer.com preview site. The site could not be accessed at all last Friday. The trailer was only approved for theaters showing R-rated movies, Valenti added. Sony officials told the Los Angeles Times the company wasn’t aware of the MPAA regulations.
