The upcoming “Predator: Badlands” has reportedly landed a PG-13 rating by the MPA.
The new film from director Dan Trachtenberg follows a young Predator – outcast from his clan – who finds an unlikely ally in the Weyland-Yutani android Thia (Elle Fanning) and embarks on a treacherous journey in search of the ultimate adversary.
Not only is the Predator the protagonist, but the film doesn’t contain any human carnage according to IGN. The film reportedly has “plenty of blood spilled,” but because it’s aliens and synthetics tearing each other apart – it can be graphic while also receiving a tamer rating than its predecessors.
Producer Ben Rosenblatt tells the outlet:
“Our hope for it is that it can be a PG-13 that feels like an R. That’s kind of our hope. And really, what that’s about is just being able to broaden out the audience for a movie like this.
We don’t have any humans in the movie and so we don’t have any human red blood. So we’re hoping that’s gonna play to our advantage. We’re going to go as hard as we possibly can within those constraints, and we think we’ll be able to do some pretty awesomely gruesome stuff. But in colours other than red.”
“Predator: Badlands” is slated to be theatrically released in the United States on November 7th.
