The MPAA, Hollywood’s governing body for film ratings, recently slapped the film adaptation of Max Payne with an R-rating and director John Moore (above) is a bit perturbed. The adult-only rating could have an affect on the box office take. But Moore also outlines what he sees as inequality in the system, saying, “The Motion Picture Association of America gave The Dark Knight a PG-13 rating and basically sucked Warner Bros.’ cock.”
The Max Payne video games all carried a Mature-rating, but Moore and 20th Century Fox went into filming the big screen adaptation, starring Mark Wahlberg as Payne, with a PG-13 rating as the goal. Moore took some time away from cutting the October 17th release down to a version that will appease the ratings board to vent his frustration with the erratic nature of the MPAA’s system in this exclusive interview.
