New Border areas The film opened to terrible reviews One of the biggest complaints is that the PG-13 film lacks the blood and gore found in the M-rated games. However, according to one person involved in the creation of the live-action adaptation, they filmed a number of gory moments that didn't make it into the final cut.
Border areascurrently showing in theaters, received a wave of negative reviewsIt debuted with a terrible O% on Rotten Tomatoes, which Increased to 6%Reviews criticized the film's lack of humor, dull action, ugly sets, and poor casting. And many wondered why the film was rated PG-13 considering the source material and the fact that Eli Roth is a talented horror director who would probably star in a gory film. Border areas movie. According to the movie's stunt coordinator, that was the plan at one point.
In a new interview Screen Rent, Border areasStunt coordinator Jimmy O'Dee confirmed that they shot the film with an R rating in mind.
“We always knew we were going to do a 15 or R rating, 15 in the UK, for a slightly more mature audience,” O'Dee said. “So, we were blowing people's heads off. And cutting their feet off. We were doing all that.”
O'Dee reiterated this point, saying, “But the idea and the brief was just massacre, beheading, foot chopping” and he and the crew were told to “go for it” and that everything would be sorted out in post-production. But then something changed and Border areas It was PG-13.
“But then, you know, there's a lot going on,” O'Dee said. “We shot this almost three years ago or so, or we just finished it. So, I think there's a lot going on in post-production and them seeing where it's going to go and what market they're targeting.”
You might be wondering if famed horror director Eli Roth took a backseat to the set. According to O'Dee, that wasn't the case at all, as Roth ramped up the gore during production.
“It was funny, he was on unit two, he came up to me and said, 'Well… just cut your ankles. Yeah, take the knife and cut your ankles and we'll leave these pieces.' Sometimes it was like there wasn't enough blood for him.”
But it seems that top executives have decided that this is the best chance Border areas I wish it was PG-13 and more accessible to younger people who might enjoy the games. However, considering the fact that most of this was filmed, Eli Roth was involved, and the lackluster reviews, I wouldn't be surprised if an unrated version of the movie comes out in the future with more gore and extra scenes to make more money off this failed movie.
