Thread: Upcomming Movies

Hmm, dunno. According to wikipedia:

Ain't It Cool News website reported that New Line Cinema along with producers Neil Moritz and Roy Lee intend to produce an "Americanized" adaptation of the book. The remake rights have been bought, with release tentatively set for 2008. In a July New York Times article, Lee assured Battle Royale fans of his respect for the original work, and stated that despite earlier concern the characters would still be young teenagers and that he would draw additional plot elements from the novel. Due to the 2007 Virginia Tech massacre, the remake of Battle Royale has been delayed. Studio heads believe the film could fail or be unfairly received because of the "sensitivity" of the American moviegoer.

Why would they want to remake it? Just have quentin tarantino 'present' it or something. Look at how sucky the remake of Ring came out...
