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.
