Not only that, but the violence in the remade movie would cause so much controversy because idiot parents would blame the movie for making their kids kill each other, saying that "they were copying Battle Royale!" or some other dumbass comment like that. What moronic parents. Hollywood would screw up the remake even if it did get the greenlight to be made.
Well, anyways, I forgot to add the author's name (sorry). This book was written by Koushun Takami, if you want to buy the book. Here's a link to the page for amazon.com:

EDIT: oops I almost double posted. Anyways, since this is The Lounge, we can talk about the movie and the book at the same time. What was your favorite part of the novel/movie (try and steer away from spoilers please!)
My favorite part of both the novel and movie is the lighthouse scene. The acting was so great, and I really cared for a couple of the girls. If Oki hadn't gone after Nanahara... ooh they'd all be alive ;_;
