Of course there won't be any rating problems. It's one of the most hotly anticipated studio films coming out in the next two years. Your question regarding whether it would be "watered down" or not was a good one. Yes, it's Fincher who has shown a propensity to be somewhat edgy, but you never know. The extraordinary appeal of the movie could lead the producers and studio towards a more accessible PG-13 rating. However, that will definitely not be the case, especially in light of Fincher's likely Oscar win, which will give him any additional leverage he may (or may not) have needed.
