A Quote by Jonathan Levine

'Warm Bodies' - I was contractually obligated to deliver a PG-13 movie. But, like, I wanted it to be PG-13 because it's for younger people, and I don't want them not to be able to see it. I mean, you have to kind of think about the marketplace as well.
'Pompeii' will be PG-13. I think it has to have a level of violence and death in it because you've got a volcano exploding. But it will be another PG-13 movie.
We knew that we wanted TheHunger Games to be PG-13 because she wrote the book for readers 12 and up, and we wanted them to be able to see the movie. It's a movie that is meant to be relevant to young people, and not exclude them, in any way.
The only problem is I can't get into PG-13 Land. I just get stuck in R rated movies, which they would love us to make PG-13 movies but I never get there. But I think that you've got to make them different. You've got to switch them up.
The problem with 'Don't Be Afraid of the Dark' was that it was designed to be a PG-13 movie. It was literally a horror movie for a younger generation. I was trying to do the film equivalent of teenage, young adult readers, and when they gave it an R rating, the movie couldn't sustain an R.
What infuriates me is that in America violence is judged in context, whereas language is not. So with language there is an arithmetic that says: one f*** is a PG 13, two f***s is an R. They don't say: one bullet through one head is a PG 13, two bullets through more than two heads is an R.
PG-13' is kind of a scattered, almost movie soundtrack album, with elements of punk and metal and electronica.
Well, they had to have me in the G-string because this is PG-13, right?
I don't like PG-13 horror movies. I think they're a contradiction in terms.
A movie that gets a PG-13 rating can show someone running down a street killing 27 people. And there are no repercussions.
We take the R-rating on a case by case basis when the story warrants it and necessitate that rating, and shouldn't be hemmed by the rules of PG or PG-13.
I remember it took us so long to see 'Gremlins 2' - all my friends had seen it, but our mom was just like, 'no PG-13.'
We've had a steady diet of that PG-13 entertainment. It's the best vanilla you can buy. It's delicious, but it's getting kind of samey.
My life is PG-13 sometimes, and I really want Josh Grogan to propose to me, and he just won't do it.
No one's up in arms about these PG-13 movies where it's literally about the end of the world.
R-rated comedies make as much money as PG-13. And I think the audiences wanna be shocked. Especially with comedy.
PG-13 horror, I just don't watch that.
