Director Guillermo del Toro got an R rating for his upcoming supernatural fantasy horror film “Crimson Peak.” Starring Charlie Hunnam and Tom Hiddleston, the horror flick is scheduled to be released in October this year.

For some, this is quite a surprise that a major studio would allow an R-rated fantasy feature since PG-13 is the highest bar that it usually allows. But knowing del Toro who constantly pushes the envelope for his movies, it's no wonder that the studio allowed him to feature the R-rated film.

Written by del Toro, together with Matthew Robbins and Lucinda Coxon, the movie is set in Cumbria, in a crumbling mansion in the mountainous region of northern England in the 19th century. “Crimson Peak” reportedly has more in common with “The Shining,” although del Toro previously cited in his previous interview the two haunted house horror classics, Robert Wise’s “The Haunting” and Jack Clayton’s “The Innocents," as his inspirations for the film.

Meanwhile, Tom Hiddleston is set to have some sexy time in the upcoming gothic flick. Co-star Jessica Chastain recently revealed the details of the scene in question but did not disclose which character Hiddleston shares the sex scene with.

“Well, there is a Tom Hiddleston sex scene, boys!” Chastain told MTV News during an interview. “I know! So you guys. Not gonna say who, but there is some, you know. You can calm down.”

Hiddleston plays Sir Thomas Sharpe, “a charming hero with a mysterious past” who married a young and curious author Edith Cushing, played by “Alice in Wonderland” star Mia Wasikowska. Chastain plays Lady Lucille Sharpe, Sir Thomas’ sister, while Charlie Hunnam plays Dr Alan McMichael, a "quiet, shy, thoughtful kind of stoic” guy who is in love with Wasikowska’s character.

Other stars in the film include Leslie Hope, Jim Beaver, Burn Gorman, Javier Bote, Emily Coutts and Sofia Wells as the young Edith Cushing. “Crimson Peak” is set to premiere on Oct. 16, 2015.
