Well perhaps I'll start although some might not be happy: The age range for the screening according to the passes is from 13-54 years old.

Basically it shows that WB, and likely Miller, are going for a PG-13 rating.

Personally not sure how I feel about it although I understand the why given the amount of money WB and investors have in this thing. The only way if can be profitable is if the movie can reach a wide audience and the PG-13 rating will do that. In terms of content, there's quite a few things you can get away with with that rating including the F bomb and nudity just not excessive amounts.

I know through some contacts now of people attending the screening who said they'd let me know how it was but honestly I don't know if I'll be able to tell you guys anything and WB have begun cracking down on and monitoring myself and biolumen. :(

I'll keep you guys posted and no doubt biolumen will gather anything he can like his awesome self usually does!

Maybe the theatrical version will be PG and the DVD release will be a more mature rating?

Possible if Miller wants to and had to compromise his vision for that rating. Here's the official classification of what PG-13 entails:
PG-13 - Parents Strongly Cautioned - Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13. These films contain sexual content, nudity (partial), language, humor, mature themes, political themes, terror and/or intense action violence. Bloodshed is rarely present. This is the minimum rating at which drug content is present although marijuana is the maximum use for this rating, with a few exceptions. A PG-13 film with intense violence means there will be blood present in a violent way.
That's for the USA so the equivalent in the UK would either be 12A or 15 depending on content and M in Australia I believe? Sometimes though even R rated flicks here in the US get lower classifications in other countries.

Sound re-recording mixer Steve Maslow tweets that the screening is being held at the AMC Burbank theaters tonight.

He earlier tweeted that he'll be in Sydney for 3 months starting mid May to work on the film. He's won two Academy Awards for his work on The Empire Strikes Back and Raiders of the Lost Ark.

UGH! Kicking myself right now.

I could of gotten passes to go but I'm a 6 hour flight away and even with the 3 hour time difference I wouldn't make it for the 7pm PST screening. :(

Just over 2 hours until it screens.

Random thought but I wonder if tonight's feedback will give WB an idea on marketing and what to do for a trailer. I'd love to see one with Godzilla in 2 weeks but maybe I'm being too optimistic. :lol:
