\"\"<\/a>Last week, we told you about a plan<\/a> that the Weinstein Company was mulling over to trim some of the salty language in their film The King’s Speech<\/strong> in order to re-release the film with a more box office friendly PG-13 rating.<\/p>\n

Over the weekend Entertainment Weekly<\/em><\/a> chatted with King’s Speech<\/strong> director Tom Hooper at the Directors Guild Awards and asked him about the mooted plans to trim\u00a0 the film and the director had this to say –<\/p>\n

I wouldn\u2019t support cutting the film in any way. I think we looked at whether it\u2019s possible to bleep out the f\u2014s and stuff, but I\u2019m not going to actually cut that part.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

King’s Speech<\/strong> co-star Helena Bonham Carter had this to add-<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think it needs to be cut down. I think every 13-year-old knows [the words], I think every 8-year-old [does]. It\u2019s the whole point of it. It\u2019s not to be offensive. I think they said they were going to put the bleeps. [The film] is not violent. It\u2019s full of humanity and wit. [It’s] for people not with just a speech impediment, but who have got confidence [doubts]. Everyone who has a sense of inadequacy, which is practically everyone.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hooper did clarify that no final decision had been made as to whether the film will be edited or not. Hopefully, the film’s win at the DGAs<\/a> and the Screen Actors Guild<\/a> awards this weekend have given Hooper enough juice to keep a re-edit from happening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
