'The King's Speech' PG-13 version draws curses
Posted By: Vlae Kershner
As I mentioned in my previous post about the Oscars, "The King's Speech" was the favorite of the night winning many awards. The movie even took the award for Best Picture. Since there success at the Oscars the makers of the movie have decided to possibly come out with a pg 13 version. For those of you who have not seen this movie, it is rated R which limits the audience to an older crowd. I think it is a fantastic marketing strategy for the makers of this movie to come out with a pg 13 version because it will probably be very profitable because first of all after people saw how about awards this movie won those who did not see it yet will probably want to see it once it comes out again in theaters and secondly it will be able to attract a larger audience since it will be pg 13. The R rating didn't bother the audiences that mostly saw it in theaters; it grossed $115 million. I am curious to see if they will actually make the pg 13 version and if it will attract more viewers or if the cursing in the original R version is what makes the movie!
