The folks over at Schmoes Know<\/a> have revealed that director Tim Miller and writers were able to get the DEADPOOL<\/a><\/strong> screenplay down to a PG-13 rating, which ultimately led to 20th Century Fox greenlighting the film. The original script by “Zombieland” writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick was hard-R, borderlining NC-17 and featured what you come to expect with the intense “merc with a mouth” character. But Fox is obviously thinking about financials and what-not. Having a PG-13 “Deadpool” will certainly put more butts in theater seats and give a chance for younger fans to see the film without parental supervision.<\/p>\n

The site says: “I heard from the director that they finally figured out the script, and it was right before this was announced, that they figured out, and you guys are all gonna hate this, they figured out how to make it PG-13. And therefore “not lose its soul”, and that’ a quote, of the script so that they can make it.”<\/p>\n

Last year Ryan Reynold’s said<\/a> in support of an R rating: \u201cI love Deadpool and there is a script that\u2019s in development. But it\u2019s so, so far into the R-rated zone\u2026 it\u2019s a nearly NC-17 world and I just don\u2019t know if the studio would ever risk their reputation doing it. We\u2019ve been developing it and we would never wanna do it unless you could it that R-rated way.”<\/p>\n

Chances are we’ll get the unrated version on Blu-ray\/DVD anyways…<\/p>\n

Thanks to Josh Wilding at Comic Book Movies<\/a> for the heads up!<\/em><\/p>\n

Update:<\/strong> Writer Rhett Reese tweets<\/a> that “no one knows yet whether Dpool will be R or PG-13,” and and says “There may not be an announcement for a long while.”<\/p>\n
