[quote name='DT778']wiki has the film being pg-13.[/QUOTE]
Wow. That's utterly impossible if they are making it like the books, so yeah, if that rating is right, they are majorly toning it down. Which is just as well for the film, but may not result in a good film, just a more watchable one. Probably just shouldn't have even been made IMHO.
EDIT: did some searching, and yes it will be less than R. Not clear if that's PG-13 or PG. Director wants the YA audience the books were (originally) written for to be able to see it. That's fine by me. I didn't really want to see an R (or hell, it could easily be NC-17) version.
