Rebeccas Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Elton's set to make a shit ton of money off of royalties next year with this and The Lion King coming out within 2 months of each other. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 All these movies have the same " I am finding/playing the first notes of one of the most iconic songs in the world on my piano with a close relative near crying" scene.

DAJK Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I mean, you don't have to necessarily cut the scene if you want to go PG-13. You can imply just as much, just make sure you edit around any... "sensitive" body parts. I think the scene should stay in there, but it would definitely be in the studio's best interest to make this PG-13. Seems like an easy fix to me.

Pretty clear the studio is hoping for another "Bohemian Rhapsody". Trick it to make "Rocketman" as good as "BOhemian Rhapsody" was, instead of making just another "wannabe movie".

Disappointing though since Elton gave them carte blanche to show him warts and all and go hard R. That and who's this film marketed to? Kid, families, prudes? No. So why a needed PG-13. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fanboy Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 It's hard for me to get excited about this considering how bland BR was. Probably won't see it unless it gets an R Rating tbh, but I understand it makes a lot more sense commercially for a film like this to get a PG-13.

According to one source close to the production, filmmakers and Paramount are in discussions about the love scene, which has the F-word several times and includes brief rear nudity, and someone snorting cocaine. From the beginning, Rocketman's producers, including Matthew Vaughn, envisioned it as a different and grittier film, with Egerton singing John's songs live, and with the singer's sexuality explored in depth. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That China only had to cut 3 minutes of BR to strip it of all references to homosexuality and AIDS says it all. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
