Metal Gear Solid movie director weighs in on PG-13 v R-rating

February 21, 2017 by Robert Kojder

Kong: Skull Island director Jordan Vogt-Roberts is beginning the interview rounds for the fast approaching early March release of the monster epic, and during a chat with Collider, he’s also been discussing his upcoming adaptation of Hideo Kojima’s best-selling video game franchise Metal Gear Solid – specifically, whether it should aim for a PG-13 or R-Rating.

“I think that for me, I want to make the version of the movie that is most true to what it needs to be, so if that is a Deadpool or Logan route where you go with a smaller budget and you’re able to make it R, great, “said Vogt-Roberts. “If you need to blow it out more and really get that bigger budget and go PG-13, I think it could exist in both avenues. There are hyper-violent parts to Metal Gear but I would not necessarily call the hyper-violent part the core element of it versus like the tone and the voice and the philosophies that the characters exhibit. Those characters sort of are these walking philosophies, so I think nailing that part is far more important necessarily than thinking about the rating at this point, because right now we’re just trying to get the best version of it.”

What do you think Metal Gear Solid should be rated? Does it need an R, or can it be done justice with PG-13? Let us know in the comments below…
