March 17, 2016: Running Time Revealed for R-Rated Version of "Batman v Superman"

Batman v Superman The Hollywood Reporter sat down for a chat with Zack and Deborah Snyder to chat about "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice", in which they talk about the R-rated version of the movie coming out to Blu-ray, the tone of the film, and much more. Here's an excerpt from the interview...

    What was the mindset behind the film being PG-13 in theaters but R-rated on DVD?

    DEB Online, everyone's like, "Oh, they're doing an R-rated in reaction to Deadpool," and you're like (laughing), "We didn't just shoot it last week, and we also didn't edit it last week."

    ZACK The why of that is [the DVD version] is a half-hour longer, and some of that additional material is some of the stuff we took out for the rating. I was like, "Cool, I can put it back in for the director's cut." There was nothing by design. This was the material I just put back in, and then when [the MPAA] looked at it again, they were like, "Oh, now the movie's rated R." And, by the way, it's not a hard R. There's no nudity. There's a little bit of violence. It just tips the scale.
