Battle Royale gettin' re-released in 3D *sigh*

[FrighT MasteR]

'tiz a sad day, as Japanese studio Toei is preparing a 3D version of Kinji Fukasaku’s Battle Royale to be re-released in Japan on November 20th. It seems to be some sort of ploy to garner more interest in the film's release in other territories (namely the US), as it's also being set up for market screenings in October. Fukasaku’s son, Kenta Fukasaku (who also directed BR2) is supervising the 2D to 3D conversion in Tokyo through this production company Fukasaku-Gumi.

too many pointless re-releases

[Natasmai]

You have got to be fucking kidding me. This 3D bullshit is getting out of hand. Battle Royal was awesome on its own, it doesn't need something gimmicky to get people interested in it, I think if people actually watched it they would see that.

[Chief Falling Rock]

people will bitch about anything these days. Dont want the 3D version, dont buy it.

[toxicangel19]

I don't like 3D period so i tend to stay away from it.....

[KilllKaylaDead]

Should be worth a watch! . I love the movie.

[Halcon Loco]

I love Battle Royale, they don't need to re-release it in 3-D. This 3-D crap is getting out of control. Will not be giving this a watch.

[Darkgod]

Not like its a remake.... if you don't want to watch it, don't.

Should be worth a watch! . I love the movie.

Unnecessary. I will stick with 2-D. It is an awesome film.

Exactly

Hey, if it garners this masterpiece more attention worldwide, i'm all for it. Everyone should see it.

Spoiler...

I'd love to see the two girls murdered on the mountain top by Kazuo, in 3D.

Keep in mind that this is the horrible post-production pop-up book type of 3D, so even fans of 3D in general will probably want to steer clear of it.

[IrishG3nt]

if I can watch it without paying I will give it a view.....like people have said...at least it is not a remake!!!!

[linzlu84]

Im not a fan of 3D so will give it a miss. BTW what ever happened to the plans for the American Remake?
