The current rumor circulating the upcoming "Friday the 13th" remake is that it will end up being PG-13 to attract a wider audience. Now, Bloody-Disgusting got the chance to speak to Platinum Dunes producer Brad Fuller, who stated that the rumor is extremely ridiculous.
"None of our remakes have been PG-13," said Fuller. "How do you remake a rated R horror movie and take the guts out literally and figuratively? What is F13 without sex, drugs and really, really long sharp machete? And why would we, horror fans ourselves, produce a movie devoid of the things that made the title so appealing in the first place. So let me say for the record, that the F13 that we start shooting this Thursday is a full bodied, rated R film."
He elaborates on just how R-rated this film will be. "It has insane kills that will be shown in all their glory- it has a group of college students who drink and even have sex. We are betting that if we don't hold back that the audience will reward us for being bold in a time when some horror movies are playing the ratings game. So we embrace the R-rating Friday the 13th will have, and hope you will too."
"Friday the 13th," directed by Marcus Nispel (Pathfinder) is scheduled to hit theaters on February 13th, 2009.
