Ridley Scott og filmselskabet 20th Century Fox er tilsyneladende på kollisonskurs, når det gælder produktionen af den planlagte “Alien”-prequel.
Ifølge ScriptFlags kræver Scott at få et budget på 250 mio. dollars til at lave filmen – svarende til 1,3 milliarder kroner. Til sammenligning kostede den første “Alien”-film 11 mio. dollars at lave.
Filmselskabet skulle efter sigende have kalkuleret med et langt lavere budget end de 250 mio. dollars – og skulle derudover have planer om, at filmen skal laves som en PG-13 ligesom den første “Alien vs. Predator”, så den kan få en større omsætning fra det unge biografpublikum. Scott insisterer dog på den hårdere R-rating (forbudt for unge under 17, medmindre de er i følgeskab med en voksen), ligesom den første “Alien” havde.
Damon Lindelof er for tiden i gang med at omskrive filmens manuskript, men medmindre Scott og 20th Century Fox kan nå til enighed, ser det ud til, at filmen kan have lange udsigter.

● G
G - General Audiences. All Ages Admitted.
"A G-rated motion picture contains nothing in theme, language, nudity, sex, violence or other matters that, in the view of the Rating Board, would offend parents whose younger children view the motion picture. The G rating is not a “certificate of approval,” nor does it signify a “children’s” motion picture. Some snippets of language may go beyond polite conversation but they are common everyday expressions. No stronger words are present in G-rated motion pictures. Depictions of violence are minimal. No nudity, sex scenes or drug use are present in the
motion picture."
● PG
PG - Parental Guidance Suggested. Some Material May Not Be Suitable For Children.
"A PG-rated motion picture should be investigated by parents before they let their younger children attend. The PG rating indicates, in the view of the Rating Board, that parents may consider some material unsuitable for their children, and parents should make that decision. The more mature themes in some PG-rated motion pictures may call for parental guidance. There may be some profanity and some depictions of violence or brief nudity. But these elements are not deemed so intense as to require that parents be strongly cautioned beyond the suggestion of parental guidance. There is no drug use content in a PG-rated motion picture."
● PG-13
PG-13 - Parents Strongly Cautioned. Some Material May Be Inappropriate For Children Under 13.
"A PG-13 rating is a sterner warning by the Rating Board to parents to determine whether their children under age 13 should view the motion picture, as some material might not be suited for them. A PG-13 motion picture may go beyond the PG rating in theme, violence, nudity, sensuality, language, adult activities or other elements, but does not reach the restricted R category. The theme of the motion picture by itself will not result in a rating greater than PG-13, although depictions of activities related to a mature theme may result in a restricted rating for the motion picture. Any drug use will initially require at least a PG-13 rating. More than brief nudity will require at least a PG-13 rating, but such nudity in a PG-13 rated motion picture generally will not be sexually oriented. There may be depictions of violence in a PG-13 movie, but generally not both realistic and extreme or persistent violence. A motion picture’s single use of one of the harsher sexually-derived words, though only as an expletive, initially requires at least a PG-13 rating. More than one such expletive requires an R rating, as must even one of those words used in a sexual context. The Rating Board nevertheless may rate such a motion picture PG-13 if, based on a special vote by a two-thirds majority, the Raters feel that most American parents would believe that a PG-13 rating is appropriate because of the context or manner in which the words are used or because the use of those words in the motion picture is inconspicuous."
● R
R - Restricted. Children Under 17 Require Accompanying Parent or Adult Guardian.
"An R-rated motion picture, in the view of the Rating Board, contains some adult material. An R-rated motion picture may include adult themes, adult activity, hard language, intense or persistent violence, sexually-oriented nudity, drug abuse or other elements, so that parents are counseled to take this rating very seriously. Children under 17 are not allowed to attend R-rated motion pictures unaccompanied by a parent or adult guardian. Parents are strongly urged to find out more about R-rated motion pictures in determining their suitability for their children. Generally, it is not appropriate for parents to bring their young children with them to R-rated motion pictures."
● NC-17
NC-17 - No One 17 and Under Admitted.
"An NC-17 rated motion picture is one that, in the view of the Rating Board, most parents would consider patently too adult for their children 17 and under. No children will be admitted. NC-17 does not mean “obscene” or “pornographic” in the common or legal meaning of those words, and should not be construed as a negative judgment in any sense. The rating simply signals that the content is appropriate only for an adult audience. An NC-17 rating can be based on violence, sex, aberrational behavior, drug abuse or any other element that most parents would consider too strong and therefore off-limits for viewing by their children."

Når man beslutter hvilken Rating filmen skal have, er det vel en subjektiv vurdering, fra film til film.
Men indad parametrene er hvis filmen virker skræmmende eller angstfremkaldende. Og det kan man vel godt kalde for stemning.

Når "Alien"-prequel får et kæmpe budget, er det vel et tveægget sværd. Den intime stemning, med et hold på syv og en lille satans motherfucker, der mutere, kan hurtigt gå i fløjten. Men Ridley Scott har vist utallige gange at han kan sit filmiske håndværk, men jeg er bange for de nye "Alien"-prequel, kommer til at ligne mere James Cameron's "Aliens", end Scott's egen fra 1979.

Jeg er slet ikke med på, hvad du mener her? Angstfremkaldende stemning behøver ingen R rating. Så længe volden ikke skildres helt så grafisk, og der ikke bandes for meget, og vises pik og patter.

I øvrigt er både "Aliens", "Alien³" og "Alien: Resurrection" ratet R.

Ville du noget særligt med den kommentar? Jeg snakker om stemning, ikke kontroversielle temaer. Ang Lee's Lust Caution fik også NC17, pga. ekstremt frække sexscener, mens film som Saw godt kan nøjes med en R rating pga volden. Uha ja, hvad er "farligst". Amerikanerne er underlige hvad Ratings angår.

Jeg tvivler på den kommer til at rumme anstødeligt indhold. I øvrigt, så behøver du ikke R rating for at skildre selvmord :-) The Lovley Bones er også inde på pædofili, og den var PG13. Men ja, de andre var R rated, men har Scott ikke en historie og personer med på sin side, ja så kommer man ikke langt, uanset ratings.

Men de kan selvfølgelig give instruktørtjansen til Stephen Sommers. Så skal den nok få en PG-13-rating.
#78 filmz-ab 14 år siden
Din kilde fortæller blot, at filmen nok vil blive eksplicit, hård og nasty i sin vold. Og så skal man selvfølgelig bruge en R rating.
Jeg ved ikke hvorfor Sommers kommer ind i billedet. Scott har nu ifølge mig ikke leveret varen længe. Så en R rating er hans mindste problem.

Netop, gode eksempler. Du kan også tilføje What Lies Beneeth, Drag Me To Hell og til dels Parnormal Activity, som godt nok var R-Rated, men udelukkende pga. f-bombs, som der også står i begrundelsen. Som jeg sagde tidligere, så er den første Alien ved gud heller ikke udpenslet i sin vold, udover en enkelt sekvens, resten kunne sagtens filmes indenfor pg-13.
