Comments on: Don’t Be Fooled, Hancock is Going to Be Dark http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/news/the-darker-side-of-hancock.php A Website About Movies Mon, 13 Feb 2012 20:06:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Aaron Hughes http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/news/the-darker-side-of-hancock.php/comment-page-1#comment-93608 Aaron Hughes Fri, 16 May 2008 14:23:18 +0000 http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/?p=6593#comment-93608 I believe that when a movie is made for a particular audience it should not be altered to suite some other groups of people just because it raises the Parental group rating up higher then the studios would like. It’s important to maintain every writer’s creative vision when a screen play makes its way to the silver screen. For one what made since on paper first, when you start cut pieces out of it, you end up with something totally different then what the writer had originally intended in expressing the story he’s trying to tell. I think the best way to do this, and again it would even drive up movie ticket sales, would be to introduce the movie in two different formats for the public eye, one in the PG-13, and the other in the “R” rated version. Both of which would bring in double digits at the box office I’m sure. Making sure that the viewers of the “R” rated version are 18 of age or older, this is paramount, it would be bad press if someone caught a young child viewing the “R” rated version in some theater in the US some where. I feel this also is a great marketing ploy for the two distinct generations of view. Aaron D.

The film doesn't quite have quite a draw as sure fire money-makers like Iron Man, Indy 4, or Dark Knight, and I guess a PG-13 rating would help it's chances. I'm much more excited for Hancock now. I loves me some dark superhero drama, and I'm pleasantly surprised that Batman won't be the only moody superhero making an appearance this summer.
