Prometheus *SPOILERS FROM POST 1538*

Raekwon

After listening to that audio clip I'm nearly sure that this won't be rated PG.

jcf

jesus!, definetely not gonna be PG...

As I thought the 2 bits I'd zeroed in on from the international trailer etc definitely say 'cut it out, cut it out' and 'it's in my throat, in my throat'.

Sounds closer to "It's in my suit". Would imagine it would be hard to talk if it was in his throat.

Its sounds very much like he's finding it difficult to speak. And he definitely says 'throat'.

Duggy747

I think it's suit, it makes more sense since

one of the trailers showed the eel thing slide into the suit

rather than it being in his throat. He'd have more trouble breathing and gagging than he would talking if something was in his throat.

Lindelof's got a sense of humour about the trailers anyway:

R rating confirmed??

Forget it. The source is some user on the IMDb boards. Nothing but trolls in there.

Even if it is genuine, it's probably just a placeholder until the MPAA announce the actual rating, which should be soon, probably Wednesday.

Big enough SPOILERS below

From the sounds of things, it can only be R at this stage.

Listings in the paper for Santry (I think) have it at 15.

I just read that (MASSIVE SPOILERS BTW) and there is no way that this will be anything other then an R/18's rated movie.

The reviewer that saw it actually said

they would have given it 5 out of 5 but they went for 4 because it is OTT gory for the sake of it as the aliens totally butcher the humans

.

Sad Professor

Collider claim they have confirmed the R rating with Fox:

Update: Steve here. 20th Century Fox has confirmed Prometheus will be rated R for “sci-fi violence including some intense images, and brief language.” Our original story after the jump.

Good news

Sad Professor

I'll celebrate when I see something official, but yeah great new if true. And a quite a risk as well it has to be said. When was the last R rated film with a budget this big? If it bombs....

... boom goes the dynamite.

Yeah, wouldn't be good for any future potential R ratings alright.

Vokes

The Matrix sequels (I think) were probably the last big budget R movies. The Matrix Reloaded did well with $742mil but Revolutions only did a little over half that, presumably cos of the bad taste left over from Reloaded.

Inception (albeit it was PG13) though showed the appetite is still there for big budget smart sci-fi.

I reckon f you factor in the 3D ticket sales plus early good word of mouth (assuming it turns out to be any good), Prometheus should be able to break $500mil globally.

It got a record high in pre sale tickets in IMAX London ahead of Avatar and The Dark Knight

When can we expect to preorder them over here, any ideas?

Thanks!

I've bought mine at Vue already

Sad Professor

There's a lot of (unsubstantiated) speculation that the film may have accidentally received an R rating. In other words, they were aiming for PG-13, but the MPAA still slapped an R on it

Apparently there's quite a bit of evidence to suggest this happened with Kingdom of Heaven, which everyone originally believed was going to be PG-13, like King Arthur, but ended up R. And then Scott restored loads of violence and splashes of blood for the director's cut.

If true I find this absolutely bizarre. Why wouldn't they just go back and put the violence and gore back in?

I don't want to believe it, but in light of Rothman's earlier comments, it would make a lot of sense. I definitely think it's possible that the studio pressurised Scott to deliver the tamest version of the film he could.

Handsome Bob

From the spoilers I've been reading and from what I've seen in the trailers, I can only say how in god's name were they aiming for PG13? The more I hear and see, there was no way this film could be anything but R.

Scott was/is deluded if he thought he'd get a PG13 rating.

Mellor

Seen the 3D trailer for this last night. It look really good. Not a annoying final desination where token object fly at the screen but peoper depth of field. The scenes in the tunnels looks good. It helps that screen here turn up the brightness and don't suffer as much from darkness.
I'm not undecided which to go to, i usually don't like 3D but this might have swung me. Prob not.

I was trying to avoid any more trailers, but once it started I was glued to it.

LordSutch

I will never forget when the original Alien film came out in 79' I went with my dad to see it in the Savoy-O'Connell St Dublin, I obviously knew that it was a Sci Fi Film, and I was prepared for a Star Trek kinda flying saucer type of thing, but I can tell you the impact that Alien made on me was massive, it was scary, really scary, 'poor John Hurt' too. Had me on the the edge of my seat, wow what a groundbreaking film it was (back then)!

Looking forward to Prometheus, guess I won't be too shocked this time )

Roar

It's going to be rated 15 in the UK (so I assume that will be the same here?)

And the MPAA's R rating is now official:

Vue are taking bookings for a midnight screening on the 31st. Very tempting.

And so is Cineworld:

You'd be mad not to!

Sad Professor

I would but it's 3D only.

johnny_ultimate

Nearly booked a ticket there 'til I realised it was 3D.

Tempted - heart midnight screenings - but think I can wait a few hours

Mickeroo

Ah right, screw that in fairness. Is this the end of 2D midnight screenings?

krudler

I will go for 3D for this since it was shot that way, but will no doubt check out the 2D one as well

Myrddin

Is this shot in 3d, or mostly post-production 3d? If it's shot in it I wouldn't let that put me off too much, there's a massive difference

Saw this trailer before the Avengers over the weekend?

Are we sure this 18's?

An R rating usually translates to 15A/16 over here I think.

WatchWolf

loveisdivine

The UK has gone with 15.

The IFCO dont even have it on their upcoming releases yet :rolleyes: I'm holding out for a 16. 15A is stupid and pointless.

Sad Professor

Here's what the BBFC had to say:

Contains strong violence, gore, threat and horror

Now that's more like it.

What warrents an 18s cert these days?

Sad Professor

For the most part: graphic sexuality and sadistic or "harmful" depictions of violence. Dragon Tattoo got an 18 for the rape and torture scenes.

The Black Oil

Damon Lindelof's involvement doesn't inspire any confidence.

I think I'll try to avoid any more marketing.

Yes, Charlize is rather lovely.

BarackPyjama

Charlize Theron... there are simply no words to describe how hot that woman is.

ziggyman17

Tickets booked for 3d in blanchards town.. Have never been to see a film in 3d before.. can't wait..

OldeCinemaSoz

A clever ploy it seems it that (unlike cabin in the woods) the trailer
is providing the wonderful world of disinformation.

Which has also ran into certain issues of empire.



Anyhoo... regarding the cert; the R will probably be a 16 here. Methinks.
