Comment on Borderlands stunt coordinator says the film was originally shot with an R-rating in mind
ech@lemm.ee 1 month agoIn a world with Deadpool, you’d think they’d learn their lesson. And for one of the most popular gaming franchises around, no less.
It’s like that bit in The Simpsons Movie where Lisa tells Homer he has to speed up through the loop to actually make it - if they’d had the nerve, they could’ve had a major hit. But nope, they’re too scared to commit and now it’s gonna crash and burn.

Deadpool is looking to hit $1 billion in 3 weeks. They’re worried about not making money with an R rated movie. They’re out of their minds, back when I was a kid my dad took me and four friends to see Starship Troopers. There are ways to see R rated movies even if you are not old enough. If it isn’t rated NC-17 then kids will get in to see it.

Exactly! I often hear that NC-17 is the kiss of death for some films. Apparently, the bigger cinema chains won’t even show NC-17 films. (This is all 2nd hand knowledge as I’m obviously not from the US.)
Thank god for R rated films! 😆

Just to add in that Borderlands made 8.8 million it’s first weekend. How is some exec board going to blame this on someone below them. I bet that billion dollar box office from D & W is really making them salivate and cry at the same time.
