This could be good or it could be bad, depends on the cast.

Ha are you kidding? America? If they go ahead and make the characters 14-15 years old they'll totally desexualise the whole thing and probably up the violence.
Expect slut girl to be replaced by white supremecist boy, who'll see the folly in his ways by being saved by black girl.

Regardless, im sick of some of you guys dismissing this remake outright. If you like the original so much why do you expect this one to be so much worse.
I expect a competent remake, with similarly brutal violence, more dramatic dialogue, and less art house scenes. The films themes will be slightly different and made more explicit though a monologue from Binoculars girl. And there will probably be a little less attention to detail and a plot hole thorwn in for good measure.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Controversy = sales, everyone knows this. Besides it's not like America hasn't dealt with films of similar themes, Lord of the Flies and Elephant come to mind.

No one picked it up for the same reason noone picks up jsut about every niche Japanese film: the wapanese have already downloaded it.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
