Paramount Pictures and MGM Studios have unveiled the new trailer for its animated ceramic-lawn-feature-mystery, Sherlock Gnomes. This sequel to 2011’s Gnomeo & Juliet is directed by John Stevenson (Kung Fu Panda) and reinvents the iconic detective for a cheeky family-friendly adventure. The movie is due out in March 2018.
The film kicks off as Gnomeo (voiced by James McAvoy) and Juliet (Emily Blunt) first arrive in London with their friends and family. As the gang busies themselves getting the garden ready for spring, they soon discover that someone is kidnapping garden gnomes all over the city. When Gnomeo and Juliet return home to find everyone in their garden is missing, there’s only one gnome for the job: Sherlock Gnomes (Johnny Depp)! The famous detective’s investigations lead our little heroes on a rollicking adventure through an undiscovered side of London.
The voice cast also features Michael Caine, Maggie Smith, Stephen Merchant and Ozzy Osbourne reprising their roles, plus Chiwetel Ejiofor as Watson and Mary J. Blige as Irene. Original music by Elton John and Bernie Taupin.
Could this film be Rated G by the MPAA like the first one had been (I know sometimes Follow Up Films don’t always end up with the same rating though)? If it, then it’ll be the first time in years that a Paramount distributes Film has had this Rating.
So far only 12 Non-Documentary films of this decade have been Rated G after the MPAA started getting stricter. Them being Toy Story 3, Ramona and Beezus, Gnomeo & Juliet, Rio, Cars 2, Winnie the Pooh, Alvin & the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked, Monsters University, Rio 2, Shaun the Sheep: The Movie, The Peanuts Movie, and Cars 3. I wonder how those films were able to be rated as such under the current Standards, often I think Toy Story 3 might be the film that was responsible.
There seems to be some other G Rated Gilms foreshadowed in the next couple of years that have such a Rating, such as with The Grinch by Illumination next year.
The list was able to be figured out by Googling in “G Rated Films of the 2010s” (of which does include those that are Documentaries and Non-English works: https://www.google.com.au/search?q=g+rated+films+of+the+2010s&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b&gfe_rd=cr&dcr=0&ei=JecCWoHAEO7c8wec_a74CQ
I think it would be a good idea to wait for the film’s Official Rating Confirmation before posting something like this to it’s IMDB Page as opposed to jumping to conclusion: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2296777/trivia?tab=tr&item=tr3712547
Still, how exactly was the first film able to be Rated G despite such and such anyway in the Decade where the MPAA got stricter resulting in the only G Rated Films of the Decade being what I stated above? And could Sherlock Gnomes possibly be able to get Rated such as well. Each Cars film regardless of what they had to offer such as in Cars 2 was able to be Rated G.
Recently I changed what that submission said, best it is to wait for the Rating’s Confirmation before posting any Trivia about it to it’s IMDB Page (hopefully it’ll be confirmed in the next trailer in fact). Sure it has it’s humour, but so did the first film. In regards to how many G Rated films by Paramount there’ve been to date, have a look: https://www.google.com.au/search?q=g+rated+paramount+films&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b&gfe_rd=cr&dcr=0&ei=dF07WqPGAY_r8wfNq5_4Dg
