Why Hollywood shouldn't touch Battle Royale. Also why you should see it, with a nice concise summary. Unless you're somehow adverse to violence. Or intense psychological mayhem, I guess. Trailer (for the original) here.

1. The Battle Royale Manga was actually written by an American - Keith Giffen.
2. He's the one New Line plans to get to write the screenplay.

And while I'll never forgive him for what happened to the Legion, his mind is twisted enough to give this the push it needs. Or to just send the whole project spiralling over the edge. I'm not sure an Americanized version of this flick will ever really work, though. (Imagine trying to do a faithful adaptation of the manga, complete with the flashbacks. Never in this country.)
