R-Rated <i>Pirates</i> to Release

The R-rated version of the Digital Playground/Adam & Eve epic Pirates will become available Tuesday on DVD in mainstream and adult outlets. In May, Pirates became the first adult movie to crossover, receiving an R-Rating from the MPAA and worldwide mainstream distribution.

The R-rated version of Pirates will now be available to wholesale buyers exclusively through MTI.

Joone, Digital Playground founder and the director of Pirates, said, "I'm extremely pleased that the movie is available for a larger audience. To have achieved this measure of crossover appeal and interest is an honor to say the least."

"MTI's top retail accounts are buying deep and even our most optimistic projections have been blown out of the water in pre-orders alone,” said Digital Playground President Samantha Lewis. “I couldn't be happier.”
