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

Ridley can go fuck himself if he even thinks he can pass of a PG...Im sorry but that is a deal breaker...might as well not bother making the fucking film..do it right or dont do it at all

hey Jeystone ive a feeling Riddley would have told fox the same thing "if you want me to do it then its done my way

@Jeystone I know where you're coming from. Trust me I want this movie to be "R". Not for gore or any specific reason other than I just want Ridley to face the least possible amount of restriction when making his movie. But if Ridley says he can make it PG-13 (not PG), then I'll give him the benefit of the doubt until I see the film.

I agree with Jeystone - I love RS and his seminal Alien film, but if this becomes some kind of corporate marketing money making spin rather than a piece of adult art then Fuck off. The kids have their bubblegum wrapped disposable bullshit movies on tap - For fucks sake give the adults something to chew on for once. And no, when I have previously posted a passionate plee such as this, I think it was "walterhiller" who was like "fuck you, this is Ridleys 2001 go back to your Freddie Kruger films" - Fuck that response, I'm not after a freddie Kruger experience prick! I want a really dark, but provocative experience that isnt just blood and gore but dips into the darkest areas of the human phych - Something that really unnerves us. Not some kiddy/Walt Disney "Diet Horror" shit.

I listen to Mark Kermode [url=http://www.youtube.com/user/kermodeandmayo]here[/url]. For anyone who doesn't know, he's a UK film critic; and one of the most respected at that. He is very in tune with BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) ratings, and I've heard him talk a lot about classification before. Mark essentially cites that it is hard for films to achieve an 18 rating (R-rating) unless they contain a lot of [i]sex[/i] and/or [i]sexual violence.[/i] So Prometheus might get a lower rating if it doesn't contain a great deal of sex/sex related violence, but there is always the chance we'll still get to see crew members get torn limb from limb.

But if a new full length trailer is apparently added to Phantom Menace 3D in 3weeks, how could Prometheus possibly be above a 12 rating. "Oh yeah lets put a trailer for an 18 movie before a U rated one". . . If that was the case, Prometheus would look crap to millions of people who wouldn't even see any horror related footage in the trailer!

Shut up of you saying it should be 18. I'm 16 and am a massive fan of the alien films and shouldn't be unable to watch it at the cinema because everyone is like "it should be an 18 so the kidees can't watch it", a 15 rating will be fine thank you very much, how much different could it be?

another thing, although the original alien film was a classic brilliant thriller, I still can't call it a horror film since I first watched it when I was 10 years old and the only scary part for me was the tension near the end when ripley is moving through the dark ship with the lights flashing and alarms sounding and 'mother' constantly reminding her how long until the ship self destructs, all of this time the alien could jump out at any moment from any corner, brilliant, this was one long sentence, all down to my ultimate grammar.
