Shacknews reports that John Moore, director of Max Payne, has secured a PG-13 rating for the upcoming film adaptation of the action game. The film was initially rated R by the MPAA, which Moore strongly criticized in a rather vocal interview. He then had to “trim frames for the sake of trimming frames”, which helped the film get the audience-friendly PG-13 rating.
However, Moore also revealed that he is planning a “Gamer Dedicated Cut” of the film, which he notes will be a “little slower and a little more atmospheric.”
"There are some rougher edges on it, but it’s not going to be a bloodfest,” he revealed. “I want this to be the Max Payne that I set out to shoot. It’s not that I wanted to release one version in the theaters and make a cheap buck by following up with a blood-drenched DVD version.”
Moore adds that the theatrical and DVD cuts will be the same “intense” experience, with the latter having some features for people “who really adore the game.”
