The mag's website has offered up a preview of the article:
Scott was asked about the film's potential rating Will it be a PG-13 or an R rated film like the other films in the Alien franchise:
"Right now I don't know where we are. The question is, do you go for the PG-13, or do you go for what it should be, which is R? Financially it makes quite a difference, or the risk makes quite a difference, and yet you also have to apply the question -- if you soften it, will you financially suffer? As opposed to just going for the throat and gambling. Essentially, it's kinda R. The little bastards will still get in anyway, so what's the difference? It's not just about blood, it's about ideas that are very stressful. I'm not an idiot, but I'll do everything I can to get the most aggressive film I can."
It was reported--Yet never really confirmed that Scott shot both an R rated and a PG-13 rated version of the script. One may infer from his answer that there was never two versions of the shooting script.
Moving on...
Scott says that a big reason for him doing the film himself is he finally gets to explore the back story of the Space Jockey from "Alien":
“[I've wanted to revisit the 'Alien' universe for] years! Years, years, years. I always wondered when they did ['Aliens'] 2,3 and 4 why they hadn’t touched upon that, instead of evolving into some other fantastic story. They missed the biggest question of them all: who’s the big guy [the Space Jockey]? And where were they going? And with what? Why that cargo? There’s all kinds of questions.”
The article also feature new photos from the film and those can be seen by going over to AVP Galaxy.
