Predator: Badlands, Dan Trachtenberg’s upcoming action movie set in the Predator universe, won’t be R-rated. But, its creators hope, it will feel like an R regardless. Here's why.
Also too, no human characters are apparently hurt in it, only synths, Predators and other monsters killing each other.
Violence against humans requires a more restrictive rating and because the movies lacks human deaths the violence can still be the same but at a PG-13 rating.
The Predator will call a human “one ugly motherfucker”. God of course. Meta, edgy, flipping the script just to be different without justifying it in the story. Hollywood perfection.
Ah yes, the franchise beloved for its extreme violence and awesome practical effects is doing something without extreme violence or practical effects.
Bold strategy Cotton.
Exec boardroom
We must expand the tech of this film full of murder, carnage, and brutality against humans.
What if we removed those 3 aspects? Then we can lower the age rating to envelope a wider audience.
Wouldn’t that alienate the existing fanbase?
Well, think about the new fans we will make.
It’s a romance between a predator and a human this time.
Is it? Or is the ratings board just being lax so that the studio can bring in cash from teenagers?

I mean its possible. I wonder if they will get to use their 1 legally allowed F word, and who will say it.
My bet is on a Predator saying it because that is meta and edgy; it hits all demographic targets.

Yep, it’s a Hollywood layup, they’d be made fun of within their fart-sniffing sphere of influence if they didn’t do it.
