Horror Blumhouse and James Wan to bring us M3gan

[Dave McFly]

Day EFFING one!, well more like two as I work nights so seeing it Saturday

 

[NotToday]

I'm already there day 1 so will be skipping the trailer in case it's too spoilerish.

You made the right call. This one does reveal a few new plot points/ action scenes.

 

[Sithborg]

Yeah, pretty spoilerish.

Looks so fun. Can't wait.

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Yeah am avoiding the new trailer and clip. Don't want to be spoiled too much.

Is the movie rated R in the cinema this time at least?

I think it’s PG-13 still.

I think it’s PG-13 still.

*sees all of the shots of brains splattering and spine’s getting ripped out in the last two trailers*



How?

‘M3GAN 2.0’ Gets a Harder “PG-13” Rating for Strong Violent Content and Sexual Material

As expected, Blumhouse and Universal’s M3GAN 2.0 has received a PG-13 rating from the MPA, but it looks like the film will be pushing some things a bit further than its predecessor. While M3GAN was rated “PG-13” for “Violent content and terror, some strong language and a suggestive reference,”...

“Strong violent content, bloody images, some strong language, sexual material, and brief drug references.”

Seems like they want to have their cake and eat it too by trying very hard to slightly push the boundaries while keeping it PG-13 to attract a wider audience.

I get wanting to maintain their audience from the last film, but if they are pushing the violence and language in this, why not just give it an R-rating? Why are they trying so hard to keep the franchise PG-13 if the first film had an unrated cut released later on with more violence in it anyway? If anything, they’ll probably get a lot of complaints from parents taking their kids to this and having them seeing someone get Mortal Kombat-ed on-screen.

I’m not even trying to be a prudish or anything. From a logistical standpoint, it just doesn’t make sense to me. It seems like more trouble than it’s worth.

It is easier for your target audience to get into a pg 13 movie. 15-17 year olds won't need to be babysat by a parent to see it.

Oh God it's Terminator 2 with TikTok dancing.

Good. Its rough when horror starts to go over 2 hours, generally.
