The film will be rated PG-13, even though the first three films were all rated 'R'. This news made Willis very upset, enough to even talk about it in Vanity magazine. Here is a clip:
"I really wanted this one to live up to the promise of the first one, which I always thought was the only really good one," Willis explained. "That's a studio decision that is becoming more and more common, because they're trying to reach a broader audience. It seems almost a courageous move to give a picture an R rating these days. But we still made a pretty hardcore, smashmouth film."
It is clear that the studio is looking to make more money, but at the same it is taking a chance by alienating its core audience. I just hope they won't be surprised when the film underperforms.
