Well... if it means that Neveldine/Taylor crazy imagination has been limited by censored pressure, it's quite sad news for me.

I'm so afraid about producers's cuttings.

It is a surprise because of how the movie has been pitched to us as a far darker, edgier, grittier version of Ghost Rider ...and the original film was a PG -13!

I too hope and pray that Neveldine / Taylor and Nic have not had to censor their vision Powermad, but I think we will still be in for an awesome ride and their inimitable style is going to be written all over it!  

 I do agree with you Gina, this opens the movie up to a far wider audience! 

Yes..I think I read that somewhere from Brian Taylor, Lady Trueheart. And to think, we could have had a 'Crank' style outside with an audience Ghost Rider stylee sex scene!!

The plot thickens around the MPAA rating of upcoming Ghost Rider: Spirit Of Vengeance!

Quote:

Citing all the action, death and violence in the upcoming Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, directors Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor says the film should get a PG-16 rating.

“We figured out all the tricks. You can kill a lot of people by burning them up and turning them into ash. That’s what you can do,” Neveldine explained. Taylor added, “Fire is your friend for the MPAA.”

“We knew going in that it was going to be PG-13, we just pushed the envelope as far as we could. We thought we’d get more pushback from the MPAA; we didn’t,” Neveldine said. “There’s f-bombs in the movie, there’s swear words. We have a giant body count.”

The first “Ghost Rider” was also rated PG-13 for “horror violence and disturbing images,” so it’s not much of a surprise that “Spirit of Vengeance” follows the same route. The directors just want their fans to know that the action is still going to be upped in this new movie, even if the rating stayed the same.

“Bullets can be flying, tons and tons of rounds of bullets,” Taylor said. “It’s just if you can eliminate some of the blood, you can go a lot further with it.”

The film is currently rated at PG-13 eva,  so you will be able to go with your Mum!  

PG-16 does not exist as a rating, I think Neveldine and Taylor, or the author of the article,  were speaking hypothetically, because of the nature of the  material and content in the new film.
