Die Hard 4 plays it safe...

Please tell me this isn’t so…Die Hard 4.0 is PG-13?

If this is true, this is really going to piss me off.

((A reader named Ed Wilson tipped me off to the following outrageous lunacy:

"In June's VANITY FAIR, it states that Bruce Willis was initially
disappointed that his fourth DIE HARD film will likely be cut to get a PG-13
rating rather than an R. 'I really wanted this one to live up to the promise
of the first one, which I always thought was the only really good one.' And
he's not happy about it. 'That's a studio decision that is becoming more and
more common, because they're trying to reach a broader audience. It seems
almost a courageous move to give a picture an R rating these days. But we
still made a pretty hardcore, smashmouth film.'"))

No Die Hard movie should ever be anything but R-rated. I know that FOX is feeling sheepish about an R-rating because of Grindhouse, and the PG13 is a safe way of making money, but what’s the damn point? If turning movies into PG13 films is the new trend, it’s probably better that you don’t make anymore Die Hard movies or anything with action in it. Alien vs. Predator PG13, and we all know how well that ended up.

Hollywood has really disappointed me lately, PG13 horror movies and all.

This pretty much guarantees I won’t see this in the theaters.

While I’m still certain this movie won’t nearly be as good as part 3, but a R-rated will help cull the pain. Here’s hoping they change their minds.
