Quote from: Deuterium on Apr 26, 2012, 10:13:35 PMI hate to play the pessimist, or cynic...however, Tom Rothman's statement remains absolutely true if a studio can submit two or more "cuts" of a film for the MPAA to review. If the MPAA gives one a PG-13 rating, and another an "R" rating, then Rothman can choose to release the PG-13 version without "making any cuts".I am not sure if this is a possibility...for all I know the MPAA may only allow submission of a single "cut", which they will review and make recommendations/judgements. Does anyone know if multiple cuts of a film can be jointly submitted to the MPAA for review?

Lets just hope that he sticks to what he says. But please Tom, don't keep emphasising this isn't an Alien film. Your Movies website just stuck up a big picture of a frickin' Power Loader.

Quote from: Harvey Weinstein on Apr 26, 2012, 11:23:16 PMThough this will sound cynical, he's probably only saying that because he's already seen it and knows that nothing will need to be cut to get a PG-13.
Quote from: LiquidMonster on Apr 26, 2012, 11:48:01 PMI don't have a problem with this. I'm of the firm opinion that "Alien" today would probably get a PG-13. The only possible issue being the chestburster scene.
Quote from: LiquidMonster on Apr 26, 2012, 11:48:01 PMNo way this will come out "R" rated.I believe Ridley filmed a very intense PG-13 film with Rothman making it well known they'd prefer a PG-13 cut all the while. I don't have a problem with this. I'm of the firm opinion that "Alien" today would probably get a PG-13. The only possible issue being the chestburster scene. Not sure how much blood is allowed via PG-13.
