The official MPAA rating for the Vin Diesel-starring comic book adaptation Bloodshot has arrived this week, confirming that the film’s violence will only be of the PG-13 variety.

Bloodshot has been rated PG-13 for:

“Intense sequences of violence, some suggestive material and language.”

It’s important to note that it seems the plan has long been for Bloodshot to be rated PG-13, as producer Dinesh Shamdasani had explained to the site Comics Beat at NYCC last year.

“I don’t think when anyone goes and watches this movie, they’re going to feel that there’s a gear that wasn’t there. There’s some intense stuff in this movie,” Shamdasani told the site this past October. “I can say that personally for me, there’s no regret of, ‘Oh, I wish we had R. We could push it a little further.’ I think this is the movie we intended to make.”

That being said, initial reports about the film way back in early 2018 had noted that Bloodshot would be aiming for an “R” rating. It seems those plans must have changed early on.

In the film, directed by Dave Wilson…

“Based on the bestselling comic book, Vin Diesel stars as Ray Garrison, a soldier recently killed in action and brought back to life as the superhero Bloodshot by the RST corporation. With an army of nanotechnology in his veins, he’s an unstoppable force –stronger than ever and able to heal instantly. But in controlling his body, the company has sway over his mind and memories, too. Now, Ray doesn’t know what’s real and what’s not – but he’s on a mission to find out.”

Bloodshot will arrive in theaters on March 13, 2020.

New ‘Sleepy Hollow’ Movie in the Works from Director Lindsey Anderson Beer

Paramount is heading to Sleepy Hollow with a brand new feature film take on the classic Headless Horseman tale, with Lindsey Anderson Beer (Pet Sematary: Bloodlines) announced to direct the movie back in 2022. But is that project still happening, now two years later?

The Hollywood Reporter lets us know this afternoon that Paramount Pictures has renewed its first-look deal with Lindsey Anderson Beer, and one of the projects on the upcoming slate is the aforementioned Sleepy Hollow movie that was originally announced two years ago.

THR details, “Additional projects on the development slate include… Sleepy Hollow with Anderson Beer attached to write, direct, and produce alongside Todd Garner of Broken Road.”

You can learn more about the slate over on The Hollywood Reporter. It also includes a supernatural thriller titled Here Comes the Dark from the writers of Don’t Worry Darling.

The origin of all things Sleepy Hollow is of course Washington Irving’s story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” which was first published in 1819. Tim Burton adapted the tale for the big screen in 1999, that film starring Johnny Depp as main character Ichabod Crane.

More recently, the FOX series “Sleepy Hollow” was also based on Washington Irving’s tale of Crane and the Headless Horseman. The series lasted four seasons, cancelled in 2017.
