Will Prometheus have a 15 or 18 rating (UK Ratings). . .

Why do you think Gay people can't be frightening? Seems a bit prejudiced to me!

Hope it's an 18... In fact can I make a personal appeal to Sir Ridley to ensure that it does... I understand the movie companies wanting to maximise sales, at the end of the day it's business right... But please for me and everyone like me... Alien and the Universe that encompasses it is Cinema pure gold and to make Prometheus scary it's got to be an 18. Hopefully Prometheus will be a classic just like Alien, don't trip it up with the dis service of a lower age rating to boost sales. Keep it what it's meant to be and the fans will love it and go back for more... I'll pledge a few trips back to the cinema to watch it! In Alien the classic chestburster scene I believe greatly added to the 18 rating, because of this scene we the viewers and fans were given a punch in the face and made us scared of the facehuggers and Xenos, and we didn't forget that feeling Alien created. CUT to the AVP and AVP Requiem...the chestburster scenes were conducted completely differently, why? To make sure the movies didn't get an 18 rating. Did the scenes in these two movies conjure up the same lasting feelings that Alien did? Not even close...please make it 18.

gay/ happy ? some gays i know are the scariest people on the planet ronnie kray for example lol or was it reggie i cant remember but one of them was. lol

i feel 15 would be passable for a nasty scfi hoping for an r/18 but i think its wishful thinking on my part now but im also hoping there will be a blu ray 18 version and i think thats the best we can hope for i will be delighted to be proven wrong.

no. it's rated g. deal with it. blood and gore=/=horror. thanks.

whats a g rating ?

G = General Audience (at least in the U.S.) It's assigned to kid-friendly movies.

ok new one on me thanks jonesy you know you share the same name as my ginger moggy.

Please people not again such rating worries. All alien movies were rated in most countries around the world with age of 15 or 16. The us strangely Gave an r rating though and in the UK they first rated 18 then re-rated to 15. So calm down!

i'm calm ive had my dose of valium today thank you.

@CBT1979 this is true, when they released the directors cut of Alien in 2003 it was a 15 rating in 1979 when it was first releasd it was an X (thats an 18 now) I had to sneak in to see it as I was only 12 at the time boy did that film scare the hell out of me. when I went to see it in 2003 I did notice some small cuts here and there but the chestburster scene was not touched Parkers death was differant (as I remember it)

@hukerlover Exactly. The directors cut showed the blood dripping down on parker and ripley was Added, but the death of parker was same where tge alien bites his head With his inner jaw. I think nowadays audience can take Much more than 20 years ago. when i watch a chestburster scene it never scares me anymore, because It is routine now :)

I wouldn't be happy about Prometheus being a 12. To be honest i can't see it happening. Theres no way Ridley Scott would make a film that requires you to think about the horror of space, the possibilities of our origin and even use H.R Gigers work, for a child to watch.

agreed engineer but fox have a lot of invested interest in pulling in the punters even if they are whipper snappers.

@Enginner Tach Brett I'd like to believe that and hope its true. But its certainly possible that the studio told Ridley: "[i]Make the theatrical cut PG-13 or you don't get your budget.[/i]" After careful consideration, Ridley might say "[i]Well, I don't want to compromise my idea by making it PG-13, but that seems to be the only way I'll be able to get this done...Hold on..maybe I can make this work...[/i]" Of course that's just wild speculation, but if that's what happened, we just have to trust in Ridley until we see the movie.

i dont mind a pg 13 but im concerned at my cinema experience if it is... all those kids chattering through the film and slurping kia ora and munching frankie hotdogs urghhh the thought terrifies me more than the film.

It is a danger that fox would ruin a good film for the sake of a few pounds/dollars but i think Ridley has enough sense to stand his ground on the matter. Isn't Ridley producing this film aswell as directing it, surely he has a bigger say in the matter anyway? That being said, as far as i am concerned Fox can go fuck themselves if they think they can ruin this.

a few pounds!... no a film like that can have a significant revenue turnaround if you let the kids in to see it but at the expense of a compromised film.

I understand what you are saying but i think you are giving Kids to much credit here. This isn't Transformers, this is a film that has a big following because of Alien and the vast majority of that following are 18 and up. I would think Ridley knows his target audience and wouldn't sell out.
