Thread: New Line is remaking Battle Royale

It was inevitable.

Hopefully they won't screw it up. I'm worried, but there is hope.

bad bossy!

Manga/anime talk goes in Misc!

*shakes fingers*
tis tis tis!

apologies.

I thought....

wrongly.

that's what I was thinkin
false alarm eh?

I fear another case of the ring (i.e. a great Japanese film getting fucked over by Hollywood).

Oh god, the Ring was terrible - especially when the original was such a great movie. Well, I've never seen the original Battle Royale, but I might if they're doing a remake.

God, what is with all these crappy remakes? Why aren't we declaring a war on THEM? =P

I am, I completely refuse to watch most remakes, I will never watch thundebirds, the ring, battle royal (when it comes out) and I will never ever even under pain of horrible torture and death, watch the sacrilege that is The Italian Job remake.

EDIT: or Alfie for that matter, seriously, its like someone has a vendetta against Michael Caine.

The biggest question is will they follow the story set out by the first Battle Royale movie or will they stay closer to the novel in the remake.

I would hope for the novel...but I think we're going to be VERY lucky if the remake is the least bit similar to the original.

Well, I'd say there's a good chance that movie will miss the point.
