00:00I was curious about the PG-13 rating because I felt like I actually had to look up after I was
00:05like was it R or was it PG-13 because I felt like it really like kind of like walked that line in a
00:09really cool way. I was curious what the kind of conversations were. Did you want it to be PG-13
00:14or was there ever like a time when it was going to be R? Yes there were extensive conversations
00:20on this topic actually and I'm ultimately I'm very glad that it's PG-13 because I don't think
00:25we sacrificed any of the core components of the movie and now a lot more people are going to be
00:30able to see it especially young people so. On the page it was definitely R and it was a very
00:35tricky needle to thread particularly because these violent deaths are so integral to the movie and I
00:40was like oh no now they wait hold on how do I fix this. Thankfully in this circumstance I was a bit
00:48prepared in advance for that outcome. I have friends and peers that have walked me through
00:53that that is a sometimes expected thing so we had enough wiggle room that I could still keep it
01:00tonally very much the movie we set out to make but remove some of the stuff that would have made it
01:05R and it was tricky and it took a while but we figured it out and now it is PG-13.
