It's no secret that the Twilight series' majority demographic is the PG-13 and above crowd. So, it shouldn't surprise anyone that such a rating was the goal for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse's filmmakers, but what might surprise you is what had to be cut from the film (and what was allowed into the film without incident).
Director David Slade talked about that issue with FearNET, saying that "We have like six decapitations in Eclipse! We smash people's heads off, bite people's heads off, I mean -- I was amazed we got the rating we did, the MPAA only threw back one thing: we had this one part in the battle where Emmett just tears someone's face off. The face kind of breaks off into pieces of crystal that shatter. I was like, 'Whoa, yeah!' But the MPAA said 'No, you can't do that.' So the shot's still in there, but you don't see the face come off, you just see little bits of stuff breaking off."
Anyone hope to see an Emmett face smash sequence in the DVD's extended/deleted scenes? Perhaps this will be the first Twilight Saga "Unrated" DVD release!

Awh, they HAVE to put that on the DVD! it sounds awesome!
I would absolutely love to see an unrated version of this movie. Go all out, it would be amazing!
unrated version on dvd I would buy without a doubt.
Sorry, never been a fan of gore. That's the reason I was afraid of Slade in the beginning, he has since earned my approval. The clips have been amazing.
Put it in there for anyone that wants it. i don;t have to watch it.
Any extras of Emmett gets approval from me!!
I hope it will make it onto the DVD. I always look forward to seeing the deleted scenes and little extra stuff we didn't get to see already. The one extra I'd like to see on any of the DVDs is the hair and make-up process for the vampires. I'd like to know how long they all sit in a chair to get paler and how much actual make-up gets applied. I think that would be interesting to watch (sped up of course).
Got something to say?
