In a recent interview withComicbook.com,Wesley Snipes gave his take on the ratings debate. The star said:“I think those kinds of stories lend themselves to a wide range of dialogue and situations. Both adult and young adult,”. “I don’t know, it seems like the R-rating and PG-13 base is sliding now because it seems that now the 13-year-olds can speak better words than the adults can.”
Moreover, Snipes believes that if the story remains authentic and true to the subject matter, it is fine to be PG-13.“As long as it’s true and organic to the subject matter, the plot, and the world that’s created,” he adds. “If there’s consistency, I think it’s fine [to be PG-13].”
