The big-screen adaptation of E L James' best-selling novel, Fifty Shades of Grey, will debut on Feb. 13 in the US with an R rating.

According to Variety, the raunchy flick was given the designation by the Motion Picture Association of America due to "strong sexual content including dialogue, some unusual behavior and graphic nudity."

Early on in the film's development, screenwriter Kelly Marcel suggested that she was aiming for a rating of NC-17.

Director Sam Taylor-Johnson tells Details magazine in its February issue that she took on the project because she'd "not seen a love story as complex, or with sex as complex.

The film stars Dakota Johnson as Anastasia Steele, an inexperienced young woman who falls for the rich and mysterious Mr. Grey, played by Irish actor/model Jamie Dornan.
