Apparently on a US television show called E!, Alien vs Predator will be rated R for “graphic violence and language”. I obviously can’t confirm this but the report comes from both the IMDb Boards and the Empire Online Forum. No news is on the official site so this is only to be taken as a welcoming rumour.
Thanks to MoBiUG for the news.

it allso says R on www.showcasecinemas.com yay
I have always said it. It's impossible that a movie with 2 of the scariest monsters of all time would've gotten a 13-rating!!!!
YAY BLOOD, GORE, SWEARING!!! ;D
It had to be this way! I hope we get a definitive answer soon!!!
Great news!!!!! Yes yes yes, a R-Rating. Very cool!
Muhahahahah....-=}R{= - YeS !!!!!
Sweet nurishing GIB!!!
Oh yes....!!! -Rusty Nails
thank god for that!
Finally some good news, now all we need is proper confirmation, I wonder why they are holding back the rating for so long most films would have released the rating well in advance on their sites etc.
I think we can all thank PA for having the intestinal fortitude to stand up to Fox and tell them to their face F*CK YOU im making this for the fans FYI E! is a respected news program here in the states so im confident this is true. Thank YOU Paul Anderson
I suppose it had to be this way if the book is true and for example Stafford dies the way he does, i mean it's pretty sadistic!
I also truly believe that all the online uproar regarding the rating has had some effect. Fox has simply been left stunned by the reaction to a possible PG-13 and that's why i believe it has been delayed.
F*CK a PG , does this mean in the UK its an 18 ?
If this is true then it can only be good for the film. People have been waiting for this film for 12/15 years and if Fox thought that aiming the film at a young audience was the best idea then they would have been wrong. Most people who want to see this film are probably over 20. Just finished reading the book and was a bit dissapointed, not by the action and strory but by the lack of detail in the fights etc + its very short and only took about 3 hours to finish.
SEE! SEE! I NEVER BELIEVED FOR A SECOND THAT THIS MOVIE WOULD BE PG-13! THAT RUMOUR WAS STARTED BY THE SAME BASTARDS WHO STARTED THE WHOLE"theres going to be rock music in AVP" GO R!
This is great news.
It'll probably be a 15 in the UK.
Wow, I posted that at Empire =P I see MoBiUG from the forums was first to get it over here =P
What makes you think it was all Paul Anderson who said F*CK YOU to fox?? How do you know fox didnt agree to make it rated-r right from the start... and besides... it still isnt confirmed yet... it's still techincally a "rumour"... so keep your pants on fella's
To have a rumor and what ever this long isnt a good thing since it shows that the movie in fact doesnt have alot of gore or if not any gore. This movie is gonna suck if there isnt any gore, and thats the end of that. Paul anderson, u suck! and fox u cheap f'ers for having him direct this movie.
Wow, how original. ^ :) -Rusty Nails
OHHHH YES RATED R. hehehehehehehehheeh
E! is a very reliable TV station too, all they do is talk about entertainment, and last year they were the ones who unvieled that T3 was R as well, so I take this with quite confidence.
i do beleive that this will b are but this doesnt prove nething until we see rated r at the official site.
something's definitely going down tho. Why no rating just three weeks b4 film release? Perhaps certain scenes were shot with and without gore and they are still deciding on putting it all together? If there have been test screenings then these wud have been incorporated to help this decision. I also heard that the ending is exactly like the book and yet another ending has been shot where the predalien burster actually comes out {like alien 3 i guess} and they are debating which one to go with, based on these test audiences reactions.
Having said that, i also heard a nasty rumour that the rating was already decided long ago but fox are deliberately holding it back as long as possible. Er, wonder why that cud be...
Well...R rating is good thing. :)
Cookies f**k you !!! Paul Anderson - best Director of sentury.
Well i bet if the movies R they will put in all the blood parts to make the movie really good.
No movie any more is rated quickly. Changes are made up to the last minute, the MPAA will not rate it until the movie is 100% complete, including all the music as well. Collateral just got rated R. So I would say next week or so something would turn up. But the fact of it is E! is very reliable, and I trust them over all other sources so far. I mean come on it's Predator and Alien. Jeez.
This is GREAT. If ths thing is for real then the battle is won. I know E! is reliable. I dont watch it but I hear things. Lets go R! Also who said PA went off on Fox? Why would he say f**k you to the producers and all those other guys? Some of you take rumor and blow it all out of proportion. Dont make shit up.
lol i have to agree with you all that an R rating would be wicked kuz i love nothin more then seeing some poor guys intestines hangin out and i would really like to see a pred gut some guy like a fish or somethin lol.. but i'm only 17.. so you see my dilema ???
Guys, last nite i stayed up till two in the morning and watched coming attractions on E!. They showed the trailer at the end of the show and then that was it. Te aldy said these are the cast members and it comes out august 13th. The hostess was named Kristin Veitch and she did not say anything at all about the rating, so this kinda worries me.
what show was this, right now i am whatching a news show on e! now. is that it?
Hey I watched the Coming attractions too and no rating was mentioned on E!. I remember when they had the guy hosting they used to have the ratings, but I guess not anymore. Don't give up hope yet it should be shown soon on the main site anyway. Anyway E! is a pretty reliable source for tv so don't give up hope just yet.
INFORMATION:: E! is very relieable, I agree. However, nothing's been confirmed on their website yet www.eonline.com The only thing mentioned about AvP was in article dated back July 15th 2002, the very article i stumbled upon that proved a dream come true... AVP the movie. It was also the time when i had doubts in Anderson for this project. Amazing how trailers, featurettes and Darkness's commitment to keep us informed on the movie's progress can change my attitude. Especially the discovery of the fact Anderson is doing this out of passion and not profit and assembeling a production crew who are all Alien and Predator fans themselves. Even the damn composer is a fan. Anyways, the rated R information is coming from messege boards and forums on other sites. So being that it's all word of mouth, it really can't be confirmed. I'm not trying to soot down those people who said it was rated R, nor am I trying to shoot down our hopes. I personally can't trust everything i read online, unless of course there's proof to back it up. Keep your eyes open, AVP trailers with ratings are going to be popping up. Maybe E! online will have an updated AvP article. Maybe one of you loyal fans will find some confirmation somewhere. If I ever do, you know I'll dish it out to you on a platinum platter... i'll even let you keep the platter. Pvt Hudson:: you the man.
I checked the site that shakermaker psoted and its says rated R there. To me it looks like a good site to trust and professional looking too. Also has the other sites like the MPPA thing on there, but I;m waitng until its offical on the main site.
ive seen E! plenty of times and at first i aggreed that its too big and its above posting horse shit. But then I read the titan ScFi Channel recently staged a part fake documentary on M. Night shaymilon (I dont know how to spell his name) where supposidly that figured out some dark and hateful secreat he had bottled up and he even has had cronies steal coppies of the interview. But the day before it aried they said they lied and it was just a normal interview and the whole thing about "the buried secreat" was all a big stunt to get ratings. Although the r rating thing isnt quite as big, no big time progam is above diving into the unofficial and sometime the downright rong, just to fill the timeslot.
;D i am watching espn, a big sports network here in the u.s., and tv advertising for the movie has begun. I mean every time there is a commercial u see a 15-20 second preview of avp. The film still says, not yet rated. Fox is definitely advertising though, and a lot.
OH YES. PRAISE THE LORD THAT AVP IS GONNA BE RATED R WITH GRAPHIC VIOLENCE AND STRONG LANGUAGE!!!! I KNEW IT WOULD BE RATED R BECAUSE THATS THE SAME KIND OF SHIT RUMOR I HEARD FOR THE REMAKE OF DAWN OF THE DEAD TO BE RATED PG-13 AND IT BECAME RATED R WITH GRAPHIC VIOLENCE AND LANGUAGE. YOU CANT MAKE AVP INTO A PG-13 MOVIE WITH THE 2 GREATEST HORROR MONSTERS OF ALL TIME!!!!
hey ppl ive said this b4 but if its not r im not seeing it and its gunna b beta if its r cuz then there will be more scares, blood, swears, violence and gore so if its r i think it will make alot more money too
to Cookies:: Just to let you know, the reason why we're not shown any gore yet with all the featurettes and what not is simply because they are not permitted to show it. The MPAA governs what can be shown to the public eye when it has to do with movies. The fact is, anyone of any age has access to the featurrettes and all AVP publicity. Which is why Darkness pointed out many months ago that a certain photo revealing dead bodies in an Alien hive was removed from the official AVP site. They don't know who's watching, so they keep it clean just in case. When the R rating is official (which obviously the theaters will help the MPAA in controlling who sees the content), then you bet your ass there'll be gore, my kind of language, and everything that will make this movie great.
Hey peeps, I personally want to believe it but am just not sure. First we hear that the movie will be rated PG-13 ( and that FOX were already planning to do this from the start). Then now we hear it is in fact R rated. Until we see something more contret, I say folks lets not get to excited. :-\
Jeeze uhhhg this is T3 all over again, people Predator, Predator 2, Alien, Aliens, Alien 3, Alien: Resurecction, all rated R. Anderson said it would be R. On E News on the TV not online I heard the guy say something about it, and afterwards they said something about rated R. I just can't wait till this is confirmed R I will probably be unpleasent to all the naysayers.
I really want this movie to be an R but until WE all see some hard proof it will just be a case of buttering us up. BUTTOM LINE : If the movie ends up to be great then THAT in its self will be an achivement, not only to fans BUT to the directer himself ... Mr Paul Anderson. 8)
Only 24 days, 13 hours, and 34 minuites until the AVP release peole, I remember back in 2003 when I went to go see Alien: The Director's Cut and saw the AVP teaser for the first time, And then all of tose set reports, and then the first picture, and now, IT IS LESS THEN A MONTH AWAY!!! man, how time flies, and also Catwoman comes out this friday, that moavie is going to suck but its going to rock!!!
What i don't get it that T3,HOUSE OF THE DEAD was RATED R in the US ,but In MONTREAL CANADA it was PG-13???so if AVP is RATED R in the US it meens that it will be PG-13 in MONTREAL???
Thats right Scar. But don't let the rating confuse you because its not like they cut out anything. It's still the R-Rated version however it's rated PG-13 because we have extremly high standards to warrent an R-Rating.It's the same as the legal drinking age. 21 in the US, 18 in Montreal\Quebec and 19 elsewhere in Canada. Think of it this way, pretty much every violent film is PG-13 here, the even more violent ones like Once Upon A Time In Mexico are 16+. An R-Rating here is pretty much like an X-Rating. If AvP was for some reason PG-13 in the US then it would probably be G in Montreal :D
Who here will not watch AVP if it gets a PG-13 rating? (if yes, slap yourself until you knock some f**king sense into yourself, please......) Who here gives a shit if it gets a PG-13 rating? (if yes, WHY? then proceed to slap yourself stupid) Who here thinks that if AVP gets a PG-13 rating, that its going to suck? (if yes, to any of these ............don't call yourself a fan of these franchises, and ........yes...........begin to slap yourself).
ok,but it won't miss out on any gore action or horror wright coes i wanna see ALIEN AND PRED guts flying every were and humain being skined maybe alien who know's ! I DON'T care if it's PG-13 aslong as the gore and action is still there in the movie but even if not they will have the director's cut most probebly if pg-13 in US! So i'll just watch it and then buy the DVD ween it comes out!
Well unlike some I see, I believe that being hard edged film is just natural to the aliens and predator films thats why I want a R no less, cause if it isn't it wouldn't feel right.
Scar...... Thank you............ My point proven
I don't know about this, i'm glad E! confirmed the rating but something tells me the asses at Fox will somehow do everything they can to get the PG-13, I seriously hope they don't.
I live in ottawa, litterally 5 minutes away from Quebec and ive noticed something, I saw Event Horizon in Quebec and that was rated 13+ (thats what its called in quebec) and ive also noticed french girls are sluttier and easier to getin bed! so in the end the french of canada dont carea bout anything. Also, i also saw the E! show and it did confirm the R rating. this is the exact same bs that Freddy vs Jason went through and Dawn of the Dead went through and those omvies ended up being very heavy on gore! so im not worried seeing as this is pretty much the same rumour as the whole rock music in avp rumour! which was debunked with help from "yours truly" and other avp officiandos!
AVP ad on tv last night in sydney during big brother if anyone wants to know
Did I mention that Montreal is one of the biggest pot smoking places in North America ;D Everyone smokes weed in Montreal. It's not legal but it's decriminalized here (I rolled a joint in front of Public Security and nothing happened), we even have a weed celebration day (not talking about 420 either). The leading weed place in North America is British Colombia however. Anyways come up to Montreal if you want to see alot of hot chicks,beer under the age of 21 and weed :)
awwwww man this banged up news oohhhh yeeaaa baby lets GO R ;D
Now about the rating being on E! , to me this is reliable and , Pvt Hudson I take your word as a reliable sorce most the time so Im glad to hear that at least 1 person witnised them statting a R rating.Now Growler, you made a very good point that in my eyes makes me think that this movie may infact be R rated.You brought up the fact that the mpaa took off the picture of the person cacooned in the hive due to its graphic nature, if there worried about that little thing then to m all signs point to R for extream violence, sci fi terror and gore, and coarse language.
? ? ? ? So I take it that Preds and Aliens will blaze up and have a bong fight to the death!? Weed, beer and chicks have to do what with AVP again? And beeko, WHAT THE HELL are we going to do about an AVP ad that came on LAST NIGHT in SYDNEY???????? thanks anyway though..........
E! is a channel, not a show. and theyt are very reliable.
As stated before, these are only rumors. Aside from this, studio politics almost prohibits an "R" rating.
beeko, you're saying Sydney, Australia? When does AvP release there?
COME ON, REALEASE THE FILM ALREADY. (were drooling here)
Spoiler
Regardig the "catching the chestburster scene - in the novel, it does say it comes out of Sebastian, so I believe it was digitally "cleaned" for the trailer. Trailers usually don't show gore or swearing so in the movie I thin k it will be covered in blood.
G-Dog | 19 Jul 2004 21:5453 Who here will not watch AVP if it gets a PG-13 rating? (if yes, slap yourself until you knock some f**king sense into yourself, please......) Who here gives a shit if it gets a PG-13 rating? (if yes, WHY? then proceed to slap yourself stupid) Who here thinks that if AVP gets a PG-13 rating, that its going to suck? (if yes, to any of these ............don't call yourself a fan of these franchises, and ........yes...........begin to slap yourself). you're gonna be shitting your patns with such curiosity you wont be able to resist if its PG-13. sure it'll be better R, but you can still make a real good violent movie a PG-13. all I wanna see is the aliens and preds go at it. If I cared about what happens to teh humans i wouldnt waste my time cuz i can just watch um get killed in teh other alien and pred movies. I wanna see teh two aliens rip each other aprt. luckily we know humans get chestbursted, and get impaled and stabbed. ur the stupid one for not even seeing a move but judging it.
THANK you for saying that,anything else g-dog,or do you need some time to think about it? like i said and another person just said the samething to you! DONT call yourself a AVP fan when you want it to be pg-13,if anyone here wants it to be pg-13 give us a simple yes no :-\ ,so we can divide the pokemon lovers,and the AVP lovers,then again dont say yes if you want it pg-13 because where just going to crush you with the truth and send you crying back home to play with your alien and predator toys ok.SO whos the first victim/stupid ass to say yes?!
I heard somewhere that this movie is rated R but it is a soft R. It will be like Terminator 3. After hearing that I heard a rating that really rang true. I heard PG-13 for Intense Sci-fi Violence, and brief language. I don't know weather the two rumors are true or not.
man FOX iz starting to piss me off with hold the rating shit back i hope fox reads our post .............pg13 R pg13 R pg13 wuz the f**king they just put it up and thats it .... thast the way i c it >:D
wuz the f**kiing problem********
If avp is pg 13 there will be no blood at all. I cant remember the last time I saw a pg 13 movie that was bloody. :-\
The first violent PG-13 I saw was The Chronicles of Riddick and that was not even that violent but preety violent for a PG-13.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHH! ............................................ ....thats all i got to say.
QuoteIf avp is pg 13 there will be no blood at all. I cant remember the last time I saw a pg 13 movie that was bloody.
Are you kidding? Why do you think they made a PG-13 rating in the first place?
they must be some gore ( otherwise why bother ) but then again, gore doesn't make a terror - action film.
I pissed! I heard AVP will be PG-13 without a doubt. My contact better be wrong or I will freak.
AAAAHH!!!! FUC_ING RETARDS!!! (some person and sentinel!!!!!) I NEVER SAID THAT I WANTED OR WANT THIS MOVIE TO BE A PG-13 MOVIE DUMB ASSES!!!!! I asked simple questions too see who cared about the rating. THAT IS ALL. For the 3rd time, that is all I am asking. Let me break it down to you barney style sentinel and some fuc__ing person: Maybe I should of just left the damn questions instead of typing in the rest but anyway...... PG-13 or R, regardless of rate, I am still watching this movie. The movie is going to be good. period. Is this too much for you two to take in? or do I have to break it down even more?? Lets see, I don't care what rating it gets. (this means that I-DO-NOT-CARE-WHAT-RATING-IT-GETS. Does this mean that I WANT it to be PG-13 or that I would like it to be PG-13???? NNNNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! I DON"T CARE what it gets, although I personally think that this movie should fall under the R RATING!!! due to the same shit you keep bringing up stupid mother..f......rs!!! some one else, what the FU_K are you talking about judging a movie without seeing it????? sentinel, not only are you annoying with that dumb little story, script post that you think every one wants to read, you're just playing a total idiot. The rating does not make a movie people. And I hope that if it gets a PG-13, that it doesn't stop you from going to see the movie. I know there are people out there like this. If you are one of these people, you know what you have to do. Get your ass kicked into the theater......
G-Dog, wwooah there man man. I typed SENTINEL saying to end the hostility. If it keeps up like this you both could be chucked out, let it go bro, Aim all that hostility at ALL the haters ( especially that bullshit site, AICN, I still haven't forgotten that site and what it tried to do) Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
LOL, you crak me up J. I know you are totally right man, but come on. Who likes to be put down bro? nobody, especially when people change your words around and act crazy you know what I mean? I read the AVP review of the script on another site that I got to by checking out Dark Horizons. (if you want to check it out, go to the bottom of the page and there is a link that you can go to that pretty much says Script Review. Then find AVP and read the bullshit that this guy had to say about it. Man, It wasn't current or anything but this guy Mr. Bleak or whatever just made me want to explode. I tried sending his ass an e-mail, but this server I am on doensn't let me. Maybe us fans can give him a piece of our minds you know? You'll know excatly what I am talking about if you read his review. Like I said though, Its not current, and I think it was an old draft or something, or was it the final script?? I can't remember, I apologize for that, but you'll see.
i posted this in another forum also but i read the avp book and if the movie is the same as the book it says f**k 4 times and is extremely gory they examine one of the bodies thats been beheaded and they show the skinned remains of humans!!!! ayayaya
dude just read the official avp movie book...
Haven't found the book yet, I've looked. Even though that script was old that the guy read, it still pissed me off of all the comments and put downs he was making towards our franchises.
