I think to take away the blood, the underage drinking (even though they only LOOK underage), the sex, the raw emotion in the violence...would destroy the entire story. I love every bit of it just the way it is. As an earlier poster suggested - straight to DVD production. This also helps keep your anonymity in tact. Or, more work and more cost, two versions of the movie: A PG-13 (which will still get the religion zealots in an uproar) and an R or unrated version. Actually, could shoot the whole unrated version (perhaps internet download only?), spin off a few copies, then start chopping it up for the pg-13 rating (actual big screen movie). Sadly, some very good material will wind up on the cutting room floor.
As many others, I don't know all the laws with filming minors in sexual or even just nude scenes. But I can't help but think if you go either straight to DVD or download only, you can probably get away with just about anything. The difficult part is finding 18-19 year old actors who look 14-15.
A little dodgy here, but, all of the porn sites I've ever seen have disclaimers, something like, "proof of age of models is kept at blah blah blah". So even in that industry, you're gunna need 'of age' actors. But a good make-up artist (like myself) can make anyone look like anything. And I've been dying to get back into blood and guts :)
The 'demon' and all that persona that Justin takes on might need some computer animation. And the swirling shadows. Full suits, even when you spend a ton of money and time on them, look like suits. Wings never come out right. A tail is pretty easy though. Contacts are fairly cheap, but have to be fitted to the actor. However, with ALL of them needing contacts, it might be cheaper to animate those as well. The Riddick contacts are like $800 or so...last I checked. And those don't glow in the dark, the just reflect light.
Anyway, I got way off track here, sorry.

I say, keep it all in the movie, or leave it an online story. Just my two pennies.
