Battle Royale remake

I thought BR was an amazing show. It was no doubt violent, but it explored an even darker side of that. How just in one moment a fatal mistake can dictate the death of everyone. I'll never forget the scene where the Japanese girl who eats the soup dies and it leads onto a chain of events that gets everyone killed. The mistrust, suspicion and doubt, it's more of an exploration of the human psyche and I think that's what makes this show interesting.

However, I think the no doubt this "americanized" version will be thrashy. I hated all remakes of the Japanese to the English, EVEN the most basic things like voiceovers (I totally HATE all Final Fantasy English voiceovers as well as those for animes *yucks yucks yucks*) so I don't think I will be a huge fan of this new movie. Just look at the Dead or Alive series. They're going to make it into a movie and it just looks horrendously thumbs down.

Still, going to keep my options open. No doubt this show will be filled with gory elements but whether it still keeps the true sanity and meaning behind the story is another thing.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
