Babylon A.D was cut to bits by the studio and producer to the point where the director Mathieu Kassovitz publicly told audiences not to watch the film as it's not the film he shot. That i consider as censorship.
What about directors cuts? are Theatrical cuts censored versions? |
But aren't films like AGDTDH and The Woman In Black made with the younger audiences in mind anyway? They then take them to the BBFC to see if they can get the desired rating and if not take the BBFC's advice on what to lose.
Look at Taken 2 - even the 'harder uncut extended" version won't be comparable to the original because it was made with a younger audience in mind.
