Doesn't make it more intense though.Ġ:08:06: The crash with the second car is different as well. The Unrated Version is more focused on the car damage.

The Unrated Version is 408.88 seconds / approx. Combined with the additional action and violence, the reversed censorship is quite an improvement, though it still isn’t just about showing as much violence as possible.Ĭompared are the Theatrical Version (PG-13) and the Unrated Version (not rated) (both available on the US Blu-ray by Paramount Pictures).ģ extended scenes in the Theatrical Version Sometimes, one acted very meticulous in order to tone things down (scars in a walkers’ face, 4 instead of 2 falling zombies in a single shot etc.). There are no further plot or character developments, the alterations had only affected the violence and suspenseful moments. ![]() It’s almost 7 minutes longer and it perfectly illustrates how many alterations were required for the PG-13 rating. This statement describes the Unrated Version of World War Z very well. We were thrilled with the audience response to the film in theaters and wanted to give viewers even more of the action and intensity that they loved when they watch the film at home." " I’m really excited for fans to see the new unrated version of World War Z on Blu-ray. When the US releases were announced, leading actor Brad Pitt made a statement as well and he appeared to be very happy about the upcoming Unrated Version: The first implication that the Blu-ray version might be more satisfying was made by Marc Forster in the German magazine “Focus”. But for that, we have the retail version on Blu-ray and DVD. Last but not least, we have the lack of graphic violence, which is an absolute no-go for some people. Thanks to the big budget, the SFX are satisfying and the movie doesn’t get boring despite the common rules for a zombie flick. That World War Z is quite good anyway is also based on the plot and the decent acting. Keeping that in mind, the PG-13 rating sounds almost like a threat to genre fans. The very graphic hit show The Walking Dead on AMC is probably the main reason the undeads have become more mainstream again these days. It should be common knowledge which aspects are important for the zombie subgenre and most of the zombie films are celebrating these with pleasure. Getting such an excellent box office result was of course only possible because of the PG-13 rating in movie theaters which was considered a banana skin by some people. That’s a large number, so it’s not surprising that a sequel is being discussed. He came up with a completely different ending. The studio decided to spend 20 more million on the movie and hire Prometheus writer Damon Lindelof. It’s all very sinister and not so typical for a big budget Hollywood production. He’s taking down walkers with the Russian army in a huge battle scene. Here, we see Pitt’s character a few months later after previous events. Especially the third act (after the Jerusalem sequence) taking place in Moscow was troubling them. But when the people in charge at the studio saw the first rough cut, they got scared. The shooting of the movie with production costs of 190 million USD under supervision of German director Marc Forster ( James Bond – Quantum of Solace) was finished pretty fast. And people had even more concern about the Brad Pitt zombie flick World War Z. Didn’t hurt the movie, though, and critics were basically satisfied, as well. Lots of rumors about alterations and reshoots were caused by it. The prognosis for Men in Black 3 became worse and worse when the fact that the shooting had begun before the screenplay was actually finished was made public. It looks like especially blockbusters are under heavy surveillance. ![]() But sometimes, a reshoot causes fear regarding the quality of the movie. ![]() Sometimes, it’s the director, sometimes the studio. After shooting the actual movie, a reshoot is often required because scenes are missing or because they’re not entirely satisfying. That a movie production doesn’t always go smoothly is daily routine for the industry.
