How do Shamless and the BBFC get along. Is there any talk pre submission of a film to see were the censors are with that particular film or is it a submit and hope situation .
Shamless's record has been excellent so far, I hope they get the success they deserve as the UK market is strange as most collectors prefer to import and sort of look down on me for buying UK stuff. |
I don't think it's anything to do with companies fighting decisions...in fact they rarely do. No company as far as I know has ever reversed the BBFC's decision as far as cuts are concerned in recent years. Certainly not compulsory cuts anyway. So fighting the BBFC's decisions re-cuts and rejections has not proven to have had much success. The BBFC know only too well that the public are sick to death of their decades of over the top censorship and are responding in the way they should have done many years ago. But of course had to wait until Ferman retired.
I think Shameless do well regarding cuts because, as Almar has said before, they only submit films that have a reasonable chance of passing. So August Underground would be out of the question.
