Film at Eleven

What is is with all these bloody remakes at the moment? I still haven’t been able to get through the trailer for the moronic remake of The Wicker Man and now it emerges that New Line is planning a remake of Battle Royale.

Producer Neal Moritz (who recently went all Japanese for Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift) and regular Asian remake guru Roy Lee are attached, but there’s no director or writer on board yet. We’d like to point out here that there’s some irony in Moritz’ company being called Original Film.

Irony indeed.
