Well that's good to hear!! A Friday film is'nt a Friday film without all it's blood soaked and naked glory!!

It was obvious that they were aiming for the "R" rating, but it's nice to hear it officially.

Now theres a man that knows what he's talking about LOL

fucking awesome!!!

"And why would we, horror fans ourselves, produce a movie devoid of the things that made the title so appealing in the first place." Orly?

nice about time

So they will most likley put out a unrated dvd to,that would be great.

There's no way I would ever see this if it was PG-13.

good thing too! otherwise i wouldn't have even bothered with it! I'm sure I'm not the only one that would've skipped a pg-13 version.

I normally don't show a lot of enthusiasm for these remakes, but I must admit I was moved by Brad Fuller's comments. Besides, not that long ago all horror movies were rated 'R'. If you were under age 17 you had to find a way to get to see it like sneak into a theater or watch it at home when your parents were gone. It was all part of the horror experience - the fun of watching something you are not supposed to. The fact that a 13 old nowdays can freely walk into a horror movie is just plain fucked up. Where's the fun in that?

Good News !!

The MPAA is a waste of Air Conditioning. The arbitrary rating system is worthless, and it doesn't work. At all.

I'm surprised anyone actually thought this would be anything other than "R". After 10 Fridays and Freddy vs Jason, all being "R", there was no chance they'd drop the rating... the backlash would have been colossal.

It's easy to sit back and say "I can't believe anyone thought this would be PG-13!". But with the opening weekend success of the PROM NIGHT remake, there was no guarantee that someone at the studio might get the "brilliant" marketing idea to go for the teens in theaters, and save the R-rated cut for DVD. Thanks for bringing this news, Mr. D, and a HUGE thanks to Brad Fuller - for letting us know, and for understanding what the rating means to F13 in the first place! Now how about a more detailed casting update - who's playing who, was Amanda Righetti recast in a different role or were reports that she was to play the "lead" misleading from the start, etc.?

I am envisioning a kill where Jason sneaks up on a girl performing oral on a guy, and pins her head to his "parts" with a machete, finishing the guy off by crushing his skull. THAT would be some good R material.

Zombie Hell: in response to your post - I agree with your statement - but at the same time it reminds me of another fun and brutal R rated series that DID spit out a PG-13 rating. All of the Alien franchise and Predator franchise - they dared to spit out a PG-13.... and to this day - all of us Horror Fans give them crap for it.

I could see why people might be inclined to believe they were going for a PG-13 rating. It is Platinum Dunes, after all. It's not like they exactly know what their doing.

I disagree, if they didn't make Amityville PG-13 (which it could easily have been) why would they do it for Friday the 13th? The whole idea never made a lick of sense to me; it was just another idiotic "Let's bash Platinum Dunes because Michael Bay is involved" tirade that got out of hand. Kind of sad that Fuller has to take time out of his life to tell you idiots that a Friday the 13th movie will be rated R. That's like Bay himself having to reassure America that his next movie will have an explosion.

Even if the film isn't good the R rated material is cool. I like a lot of blood & guts and sometimes nudity. I hope this is like Freddy vs. Jason.

If it's ANYTHING like the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake (considering it has all the same people behind the camera) then count me out!

Well, DUH this is obvious...it's a FRIDAY THE 13TH flick and this will be a success!

Best news since hearing that Kane Hodder isn't in it!

Sweet. Boobs, blood and machete. That's all you need. Still wish they had mother as the killer like the original.

yeah kick ass.... to all the studios who are pussys get off your money bindge and go suck a a PG_13 dick. I still have to see fuckin INSIDE it better be bloody as all hell cus if it isn't I'll be pretty pissed

im looking foward to this movie!! i hope they dont over do anything like in halloween but still halloween was awesome
