Paramount has agreed to remove several scenes from the British release of Lara Croft: Tomb Raider in order to gain a 12 rating (suitable for 12-year-olds and older). the British Board of Film Classification, the U.K.’s official ratings board, said that some scenes, depicting the use of knives and such violent action as head butts and throat chops, would only be permitted if the film was released with a 15 rating. However, Robin Duval, the film board’s director observed, “The natural audience for Lara Croft is the 12 to 15 age group.” He added that Paramount “has responded positively to the BBFC’s concerns with cuts to those elements and to other violent content at several points in the film.”
