I saw the "Emmy" commercial during the Packers/Saints game on Sunday and it had the PG-13 rating at the end of the ad. Right after the 2-minute warning of the 2nd quarter/1st half of last night's Monday Night Football game on ESPN, they showed the Heineken commercial.

I read this in the new US synopsis available at sonypicturespublicity.com

"This film has been rated PG-13 by the MPAA for INTENSE VIOLENT SEQUENCES THROUGHOUT, SOME SEXUALITY, LANGUAGE AND SMOKING. Credits not final"

"SMOKING"?!!
Gosh! We have to close the "Bond smoking" thread down, it clearly gives the producers too many ideas...

So, Drinking is OK with the MPAA-Rules for PG-13 ?

[Iceskater101]

Well I am not surprised, aren't all Bond films rated Pg-13?

[glidrose]

My long desired R rated Bond film will have to wait for another day.

I feel you.

...can't even get on a Bond forum without being groped.

Damn!! So in fact Skyfall is going to be 1 minute and 2 seconds shorter than Casino Royale!! LOL...

[Satorious]

"one strong use of language". In a Bond film - there is no need really. I'd watch Bourne if I wanted that

Nice healthy length there. (That's what she said.)

I think PG-13, or 12a here in the UK, is perfectly fine. We're not going to get an 'R' rated James Bond film as Cubby and Harry wanted a film that had sex, violence and adventure that was suitable for all the family to enjoy in their own right, for young boys to get swept away in the excitement of seeing a secret agent save the world and the adults to enjoy an escapist adventure with familiar cast and stories.

It pushed the boundaries with 'Licence To Kill' and maybe this was a reason it didn't work so much to global audiences - it was too real, too violent and too non-Bond for them than what they are used to.

I for one don't need to see more violence, gratuitous language or sexual implications for Bond to work better for me as that just isn't what James Bond is all about. Get Quentin Tarantino to direct a 007 film and you'll get your 'R' rating, but for EON, this doesn't need to happen.

We've had touches of language without it being over-the-top. Daniel Craig uttering "...the bitch is dead." worked perfectly and a fitting mark to the novel. We don't need anything else, and the violence can stay just at the level it is.

Couldnt have put it better.

Thanks to you two this thread is now PG 13. Love it!

Anyone else noticed the IMAX version classified by BBFC is a minute longer than the 35mm? 144m4s versus 142m58s?

http://www.bbfc.co.u...re=db&q=Skyfall

Extra footage? Or extra logos? Other films shown in IMAX (eg Dark Knight Rises) tend to have the same runtime

[Matt_13]

That's interesting.

[Vauxhall]

Hmm. Maybe extra credits for the IMAX work? Doubt that would take a minute though.

[DamnCoffee]

What about..

Spoiler

An IMAX exclusive opening by Daniel Craig?

"Thank you for viewing this in IMAX content. I'm delighted to introduce 'Skyfall' to all of you. This is the 50th Anniversary blah blah blah

Would be quite cool.

[JimmyBond]

Or what about:

Spoiler

The Gunbarrels is only included in the IMAX print

I think that would still piss people off.

[S K Y F A L L]

Can't wait to hear the first

Spoiler

F bomb in a Bond film, I'm sure it will be a crowd pleaser.

[Nicolas Suszczyk]

I found some quite shocking scenes for a Bond film, so Skyfall is a PG-13 a la CR or LTK...

Medium spoilers

Spoiler

-Silva taking out his fake jaw.
-Bond removing the bloody shot bullet from his shoulder with the knife.
-Blood in the corpses of Ronson and his assosiates shot by Patrice.
