Well, it won’t get an R rating, but the MPAA might require cuts before giving it a PG-13. Happens more often than you think, and most of the time it’s tiny trims - we’re talking stuff like cutting 5 frames off of shot X and 3 frames off of shot Y. Hell, the last Hobbit movie was rated R in its extended cut - though oddly enough, some of the extensions in the LOTR EEs were restored from cuts the MPAA imposed to get a PG-13, yet they still gave all three of the LOTR EEs PG-13 ratings. Bet they forgot they required Jackson to cut Lurtz licking the knife Aragorn stabbed him with or to shorten Smeagol strangling Deagol by a few seconds by the time the EEs were submitted…
