The New Mutants co-writer and director Josh Boone claims the upcoming X-Men spinoff will be “hardest” PG-13 movie ever made.
In an interview with Empire Magazine, Josh Boone explained that his goal with The New Mutants is to scare audiences and make them cry at the same time, and that’s why the film is pushing the boundaries of what makes a PG-13 movie. He said: “This movie is probably the hardest PG-13 ever made.
Boone originally described The New Mutants as being a “full-fledged horror movie” with influences from iconic films such as The Shining and One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest.
For now, Boone and the rest of the creative team have more than a year to bring their ideas for The New Mutants to fruition.
