War of the worlds 12a or 15?

[dalekhunter]

I was wondering what bbfc rating it might get ..from the nature of the film and pics seen I can see it being a 12a but thats because there will be 1 usage of the word "***k" I bet ..or even so if its horror I hope it is a 15 gets all the chavs out the cinema you know spoiling it but as long as it not 18 what you think ?

[RustiSwordz]

a strong 13a or a weak to moderate 15...

Like Minority Report i believe Spielbergs film will be a 12A, but i would prefer to see a 15 version.

I'm thinking a 12A with a 'not suitable for Chavs' warning

[jo73]

Although, come to think of it...the martians are actually just intergalactic Chavs...right down to the 'blinging' transport...

I can see the BBFC issuing a 12a certificate but i bet they cut certain scenes (spoil sports!!).

most likely PG-13

Lol! It's funny hearing all this talk about a rating system that's different from the US, and suddenly our Texas friend pipes in...
;D

I hope it's R. I really do...which means they can curse and show large amounts of gore. But I guess with America being more lenient with PG-13 movies (they can say the f-word at least once)-who knows.

Lets go 18 and have some pole dancers thrown in for good measures ;D

Horsell, i like the cut of your jib.

I'd pay good money to see Angelina Jolie dancing round a tripod leg...

There Rob. You had to do it didn't you. You had to bring his jib into it. I may not sleep tonight now for the images in my head! ;D

I think it more likely to be a 12A- because SS gets away with this quite often. It can be scary without being gory or full of effing and blinding and suchlike. With the child presence in the movie, I think it likely that the language will be fairly toned down anyway.

Ray-"That is a martian. A maaaaaarshun. They eat people you know. So be careful"

(Dakota)"For F*ck's sake stop patronising me Ray. Patroonnniiiiising. Means to talk down to someone. I'm almost ten, you know, and nearly as tall as you."

Its more likely to be full of "RUN! RUNNNNN!"

As for gore, its mostly people getting burned up or gassed apart from the feeding, I hope he doesnt leave that to our imaginations though.

[I own a cylinder]

It better not be a 12a

[jo73]

Yep, I'm thinking a 12A still...you can do tension and terror without bucketfuls of gore...

But can we hope for a different cut and new certification for the DVD release? And just think of all the extras we could get...ok ok..I'm getting ahead of myself here...

[woking98]

I reckon a 12A. After all Speilberg has to make back some of the money given his stratospheric budget.....

And then maybe a 15 for the DVD as it is more available to impressionable people.

Then the special edition could be an 18 with bits they couldn't show you at the cinema.

Finally how about a R18 version. This could show the Martians getting a bit too friendly with their dinner..... ;D

Whilst browsing Amazon.co.uk for "WoTW" stuff.. I noticed they already have an entry for SS's remake. On here, they have given it a "12" rating, which would give the impression that it is most likely to be a "12a" release. I wonder what they are basing that on, considering the movie hasn't been completed yet... do they know something we don't?

Spielberg has said its a PG13, a lot of violence but no gore.
