MOVIE NEWS – Steven DeKnight and Sony agreed on the decision immediately.

According to a report from the ComicBook portal, God of War‘s adaptation to the big screen will be designed for audiences of age. This conclusion would have come quickly, both the director Steven DeKnight, and the executives of PlayStation, early in the discussion of the project.

“It’s funny because when I sat down with the Sony PlayStation people, one of the first things that they and I said was that this had to be a R rated movie (for people of legal age), “explained DeKnight.” Because I always use Conan the Barbarian as a cornerstone, which needs to be for adults “When it comes to film adaptations of properties outside the big screen, one of the most common debates is the approach: a violent one, but faithful to the source material, can satisfy the most purist fanatics, but reduce the size of the audience and, therefore, the possible gains, while an opposite view has the potential to betray connoisseurs but appeal to a broader demographic.

“I do not think there’s a way to tell that story (Conan the Barbarian) and make it suitable for teenagers, nor should it be, and thanks to Deadpool, people are much more willing to try the R rating (for adults) so yes, undoubtedly [it will be] R-Rated, that is, it does not go as far as Spartacus, which was more NC-17, but definitely for adults. ” It is important to explain that the R-Rated classification, in the United States, is applied to films where children under 17 can enter only in the company of an adult, since the film contains some materials for adults, while there is also the classification NC-17 that does not allow the access of minors under 17 under any circumstance.

A similar question revolved around the film Joker that, although it does not belong to the field of videogame adaptations, also had to opt for a more adolescent or adult approach and left for the latter, a situation that drew a smile between the majority of the fans. We recall that Sony created the PlayStation Productions division in May of this year with the aim, precisely, of adapting its videogame properties to film and television. At the moment we know that there are two productions for UNCHARTED and Twisted Metal.
