1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: Direct from Hollywood with Ryan Seacrest.

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 2: Christopher Nolan's epic and now legendary Batman film, The Dark

3
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 2: Knight certainly lives up to its title as one of

4
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,400
Speaker 2: the darkest superhero movies ever made, but it was also

5
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 2: surprisingly the rate of PG thirteen tends to release in

6
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 2: two thousand and eight. Other superhero films have been box

7
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 2: office successes with an R rating, like Deadpool, but at

8
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 2: the time that was unheard of and the studio insisted

9
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,799
Speaker 2: it reached as wide an audience as possible. So how

10
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 2: did Christopher find the right balance? He tells Real Blend.

11
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 2: There was a certain amount of negotiation and editing that

12
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 2: had to happen to secure the PG thirteen rating, which

13
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 2: is often the case with films that are edgy. But

14
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 2: those are films that you get into with the studio

15
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 2: knowing full well that you're aiming for that wide audience,

16
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 2: and so you have to change things to make it work.

17
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 2: You have to get clever about how you do things

18
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 2: and how you present action scenes. You don't use red

19
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 2: blood squibs, just gray dust squibs, things like that. Nolan's

20
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 2: latest epic, Oppenheimer's in Theaters that's

21
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: Direct from Hollywood,
