“Punisher: War Zone” Still Has Its R Rating
The earlier reports suggesting that upcoming “Punisher: War Zone” inclined towards the PG-13 rating may not be true after all and director Lexi Alexander has not been kicked off the film. It was just a temporary internet-wide scare.
After seeing Comic Con violent trailer, I’m not sure how anyone could’ve expected them to cut it down to PG-13 anyway, but I guess that’s how rumors on the internet go.
Providing the denial is Steve Gainer, the film’s cinematographer, who posted a clarifying information in the Raw Studios forum board. Parts of his message read,
“The film is not (nor could it ever be) PG-13. Today I saw a cut that ran 91 minutes…The film is most certainly not all exploding heads, but will reveal a great deal of Franks personna and pain.”
