Apparently the announcement is official. The Hobbit: Battle of Five Armies Extended Edition is going to be rated R for "Some Violence". I can't believe that they could add anything to the nearly bloodless movie that would make it R, and I have never heard of a movie being rated R for "Some violence", only ever something like "graphic" or something. And there is no way it could have more violence than the LotR trilogy. Unless Beorn eats a BUNCH of orcs or something, I don't see how this could possibly be the case. :?
Thoughts?

It takes a hell of a lot to get a 15 rating these days, so to manage an R is quite a feat...

It could be any number of things of course (the chronicles book speaks of a gruesome death for Alfrid for example) but my money is it being the scene where Bifur get the axe pulled out of his head. He's not a generic CGI Orc and I imagine seeing an axe stump yanked out of someone's head will be quite a violent and gory moment. Roll on November!

And here I was hoping for some Kili and Tauriel action...

Funny how the "children's" movie gets a R rating. So what? It's not in theatres, won't effect their sales unlike buying tickets and having the clerks ask for i.d (as if any of them really care or are on a power trip)

Well, the extended trilogy will be in theaters.

That's news. When, where and why?

I'd rather see Lotr extended in theatres.

October, I think a small number of theaters, and go make more money.

Alfrid's death would have to be really gruesome for that alone to be worth an R.

As mentioned in one of the comments on the referenced article - it might be because of the implied violence against the women and children of Laketown/Dale. Or more Orc beheadings - has anyone counted how many orcs lose their heads?

Personally I'd like to see a slightly more brutal deaths for Fili and Kili (theatrical edition seemed to lack a bit of punch in that aspect).
I faintly remember reading somewhere (it was a long time ago mind) that Dain's axe was changed to a hammer because of the risk of an increased violence rating. Perhaps we could see that revert back?

Lots of women and children were targeted in TTT and ROTK. I'm just finding it hard to believe that the Hobbit, of all fantasy movies, would get an R rating for any reason.

AUJ extended should've received an R just for those dwarves skinny dipping alone.

Haha, guy tush doesn't qualify for an R rating.

I look forward to seeing this version as the cinema release was so blatantly chopped short in places.

Probably some graphic scenes of smaug burning laketown. I hope not, burnings are the only thing I can't stomach.

Maybe that's it: BotFA will have a close-up of Smaug skinny dipping in the Lake. Or doesn't it count when it's a massive creature covered in scales and *SPOILERS* dropping dead rather than casually bathing?
