Predator: Badlands, Dan Trachtenberg’s upcoming action movie set in the Predator universe, won’t be R-rated. But, its creators hope, it will feel like an R regardless. Here's why.
“We’ll see where it ends up, but our hope for it is that it can be a PG-13 that feels like an R,” Rosenblatt said. “That’s kind of our hope. And really, what that’s about is just being able to broaden out the audience for a movie like this.”
No one wants you to “broaden out the audience” for this franchise. Or for any franchise ever. The only people who want this are the investors. Incorporating investor ideas and demands has historically never spelled success for any movie ever. But sure, this time will be different.
