Fox says Prometheus will not be compromised for a lower rating

Is Twentieth Century Fox actually starting to care about the quality and ambition of its movies? First Matthew Vaughn is allowed to make a period X-Men movie with a strong script and an excellent cast. Then Rise of the Planet of the Apes is allowed to be a sophisticated and worthy film rather than a shameless prequel. And now Prometheus will be rated R if it has to be, despite the increased revenue that a PG-13 rating would bring.
