5 more TV spots for The Golden Compass were unveiled today, with the last 3 having a nice piece of news: the film is rated PG-13 for "sequences of fantasy violence". *whew* Now, TGC isn't as "action-y" as say, The Lord of the Rings, but it does have its fair share of action scenes, which all deserve to have justice done to them. A PG-13 rating should ensure this seeing as it allows for a much higher level of violence that would be necessary for the big polar bear fight near the film's end. It's nice to see that the film hasn't been turned into another Narnia, or worse, Eragon *shudder*. Anyways, here's the best of the tv spots that features "rated PG-13" stuck on at the end.
The only weird thing about these ads is that New Line obviously wants to try and make the movie feels accessible, so the marketing (though not the structure of the film) has been altered into the "the quest for powerful object x." However, it's perfectly fine seeing as in one of the other spots (it might have been 3, 4, or 5..maybe 7...) we can hear Mrs. Coulter mentioning "the authority" which is good news for anyone fretting that religion had been completely wiped from the story (it never was completely removed, just toned down a notch).
