Forum Overview :: Peter Molyneux's The Movies :: They said that a couple of months ago

[quote name="Siskel and Ebert"][quote name="<A HREF="http://bloody-disgusting.com/news/3244125/comic-con-13-the-new-robocop-will-most-definitely-be-pg-13/">Aptly-named website</A>"]When asked about the film’s rating, [director José] Padilha said they were pretty much aiming for a PG-13. "We were shooting the movie to be seen by the broadest possible audience, which means PG-13. This whole idea about 'RoboCop' has to be 'R' because the first one was amazingly violent... I never really bought into that. You know, 'The Dark Knight' was PG-13, so you can get away with a lot."[/quote] Of course the movie he's citing as an example of PG-13's wonderful flexibility was almost entirely bloodless, but at least he wasn't the only one there who didn't know what the fuck he was talking about: [quote]Sam Jackson added, "[The original <i>Robocop</i>] would be 'R' for its time, not 'R' now." Padilla agreed, "Yeah, maybe now it isn't."[/quote][/quote]
