  • "Arthur" Gets Toned Down
    By Garth FranklinFriday, June 25th 2004 6:39PM
    What do people want out of Jerry Bruckheimer's Arthurian epic? Blood, guts, decapitation, sword handling, Keira Knightley's chest & Clive Owen's ass. Sadly none of those things are likely to be on display according to the latest Variety.

    The Motion Picture Association of America recently rated "King Arthur" PG-13 after the studio managed to trim enough of the violence from the epic's climactic battle scenes to avoid an R.

    The thing is, the PG-13 rating is likely to come as a surprise to some. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer promised last year he'd deliver an R-rated pic, adding, "Audiences want to see something that's real. They don't want to cut away."

    Disney spokesman Dennis Rice told the trade the reasons for the rating change was "We've always felt it was advantageous to go for as wide an appeal as possible with a big summer film like this".
