Ninja Scroll - Live Action Film

I'd say its budget is going to determine the rating. The bigger the budget the more money theyre going to have to recoup, and making it pg13 will make it more accesible.

The Matrix movies were R and did really well...and their budgets are astronomical.

I do not see those as being mutually exclusive (budget varying with rating) and it is only a mindset (pun) of Hollywood producers and studios rather than a necessity.

I am not disagreeing with you, Mindset, because the information you provided is a fact/state of being in Hollywood. You're just the messenger of information.

So shooting through a dude's arm as you are smashing it in a door, at point blank range, is not violent?

That nets an automatic R in any film.

Maybe in America

The Matrix was rated M 15+ here, An R rated movie here would be Kill Bill Vol 1, Scarface, The Evil Dead to name a few.

The first film? Yes, it should have been PG-13. The second and third should have been R like they were.

Question is, who's a good Asian actor that could pull off Jubei.

the guy who played IP man

Yen. Nah he'd suck. His style doesnt match Jubeis.

Byung-Hun Lee or Rain, maybe?

I say Sanada Hiroyuki even though hes 50.

Why not? He's a good actor and a versatile martial artist.

this movie would have to be at least an R rating to stay true to the anime.

1. He's Chinese and there is good Japanese actors that can do the role well.

2. His fast kicking Kung Fu, Yen's style doesn't match Jubei samurai style.

How would you like it if Sho Kosugi played Wong Fe Hung? It wouldn't work.

He's in next year's '47 Ronin', which could have been an epic remake, but the studio decided to add a 'half-Caucasian samurai' to the story and cast Keanus Reeves to the part.

So once again the studios ****ed it up.

Also, this logic
