CURSED to a PG-13 rating?

Seems like every major movie website is attempting to get this news out in hopes that the fans voice will be heard: Wes Craven reveals in an interview with Fangoria that Bob Weinstein wants to cut Cursed down to a PG-13 rating. The film has already been rated R and the review on AICN has stated that its a fairly hard one. The result of the film being butchered to a PG-13 would be something along the lines of Rollerball or King Arthur. There's no other way around it. I wonder if when the studios choose to do this if they hire someone else then the film's original editor to do the trimming. It is really sad. Most likely, an unrated version would debut on DVD sometime so the studio can get even more money. Dimension probably wants to make as much money as it can off of the film since its hellish production. The odd thing is though is that budget is barely over $40 million. I'm sure the film could top that without a PG-13 rating. Keep in mind all 3 Scream movies made more than $150 million worldwide.
