According to Empire Online the MPAA slapped the film with an NC-17 rating deeming it "too intense and gory". Here's what producer Wes Craven had to say: "It’s a very strong picture and we’re trying to figure out what to do with that, without ruining it. “We have to deliver an R rating. We looked at it last night in the screening room and before we started, we said to Alex ‘what do you think?’ And he said ‘this is a PG-13 now’. And one of our producers said ‘Alex, can we commit you to an insane asylum if this isn’t an R?’ and then he showed it to us and ohmigod, there’s no way you would get an R for that."

DC spoke with director Alexandre Aja about the film, where he reveals what to expect: "...what we're trying to do is keep the spirit of those films [Last House on the Left, The Hills Have Eyes original] again and update it, first of all, but then also focus on the family facing something in the hills instead of the feral 'Hills' family versus and American family. We're gonna keep the same setting and it'll go in the same direction of the survival story with a lot of tension and gory elements, for us it's the perfect step to develop and push further what we tried in 'High Tension'."

The following is a cast breakdown of the deformed family that was first posted at Fango. You'll notice the characters of Jupiter, Ruby, and Pluto return:
RUBY: The youngest of the hill people, 14 years old (but 18+ or emancipated preferred). Very small—five feet tall, frail, but rather pretty despite her abnormally large eyes and deformed hands. She wears a hooded sweatshirt, preventing us from seeing the part of her skull that is permanently caved in. Ruby is intrigued by this "normal" family—particularly Bobby, who is the first boy her own age she has ever met before. She is the only one of the hill people with a sense of right and wrong—she tries to help the family and protect Catherine, the baby.
PAPA JUPE (JUPITER): The leader of the mutant hill people, around 50 years old, his voice is deep, distorted and devilish; he has long hair and a beard, and evil eyes. He is the most menacing and violent of the hill people.
BIG BRAIN: One of the hill people, confined to a wheelchair. His head is 10 times bigger than his face—his head is so heavy that he is unable to hold it up, it rests back on his chair. His body is skeletal, his voice is weak and asthmatic. He is the character most representative of the damage the hill people have suffered from the nuclear fallout. He tells Doug of the fate of the hill people, of the disregard the government showed for their plight.
LIZARD: One of the mutant hill people, so named both because of his almost supernatural agility and because of the spiky chain he uses to provoke car accidents (when not is use, it drags behind him like a lizard tail). Extremely thin, and pale, with a cleft lip and a deformed jaw. He is, quite simply, a savage with no sense of pity. Scary and sadistic.
PLUTO: A giant, one of the hill people, bald, hulking and terrifying, but with the face of a cruel child, with asymmetrical eyes. And there is something childlike and dim about him, despite his huge size. And yet he is capable of terrible violence.
GOGGLE: One of the mutant hill people, so named because he keeps watch on the desert through a pair of binoculars. He has no face—his eyes, nostrils, and mouth exist in a mass of flesh. His voice is rough and deep, his pronunciation is poor and we can’t understand everything he says.
LARGE WOMAN/THE OBESE WOMAN: One of the hill people, Ruby’s mother. As her name suggests, should be very overweight. She also takes care of the handicapped Big Brain. She sits in a rocking chair, holding a huge pig in her arms and petting it like a dog.
CYST: One of the mutant hill people. Enormous cysts disfigure him and cover every part of his body; a metallic brace is screwed on four sides of his head helping him stand straight. No dialogue—his character is mute—but much on-camera time.
DETAILS
- You can expect a backstory with the Hills family as well as more deformities.
- Fox Searchlight is releasing.
- Filming begins in June.
- Dimension Films co-chairman Bob Weinstein is behind this remake.
- Alexandre Aja and Gregory Levasseur (Haute Tension) will write the script.
