Yes kids, thats right Newline has begun the process of making there new japanese to Americain remake of Battle Roayle wiht an estimated release of 2008. The men resposoble for bringing us "the fast and the furious" and "XXX2" and "the ring". I serously don't see this movie bringing anything new than just replacing the japanese kids with white kids and maybe a little more gore. So nothing better than the original, if not worse.
It'll probably be worse, Americans always do things worse then the japanese............or so I've heard
R.I.P Captain America.
If they are going to bring it here, please, oh, PLEASE, don't butcher a great movie.
Oh, it'll be butchered. Just like nearly every other remake of Japanese movies.
The original had a great deal of gore, I'm willing to bet the new version will have less. We are talking about the people who made XXX2 and the Fast and the Furious. Explosions rather than blood are their particular FX of choice.
Even the original could have used some work on the plot. They lost a little bit of the purpose of the whole island fight or whatever you want to call it, or at the least it wasn't clear or conveyed well. But with re-writers and directors like these, you can be assured that this one will tarnish the original's reputation in any and every way possible.
I should really pick up some of the manga before this travesty comes to light.
It'll be named "Battle Island", starring The Rock, Triple-H, and straight out of retirement, Stone Cold Steve Austin.
Well, I can safely assume that this movie is going to be the worst disaster in film history, especially to those who've seen the original version. The fact that it's going to be made by the same people who did The Fast and the Furious and XXX2 assures it's doomed. They should've gotten Quentin Tarantino to do it, if anyone. He seems like the kind of guy who could put it more in line with the original.
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.
The way I see it, I'm just glad that it's a MOVIE, and not a REALITY TV SHOW.
