THE COLD, HARD TRUTH
Just a week before its premiere,
Atom Egoyan's
Where the Truth Lies has been fanny-slapped with an NC-17 rating, largely due to its depiction of an explicit three-way sex scene between
Kevin "In Wild Things You Saw My" Bacon,
Rachel Blanchard and
Colin Firth (the
Bridget Jones movies). "It was so close [to getting an R rating]," a defeated Egoyan tells the New York
Daily News. Having had his appeal for an R denied by the MPAA, the director will now reinsert a lesbian scene that previously had been cut. So there.
