Yeah, baby! Sign me the hell up!

Re: Battle Royale (Arrow Releasing)--October 2010?
get the fuck out of here! please be region free!
|
Re: Battle Royale (Arrow Releasing)--October 2010?
Hopefully it's Region Free.
|
Re: Battle Royale (Arrow Releasing)--October 2010?
It's been a decade since I got this; time for an upgrade. Hopefully, both cuts are included.
|
Re: Battle Royale (Arrow Releasing)--October 2010?
If it's region free, I'm there like a knife in the nuts.
|
Re: Battle Royale (Arrow Releasing)--October 2010?
Want. Badly.
|
Re: Battle Royale (Arrow Releasing)--October 2010?
Arrow's most recent titles have all been region free, correct?
If this is region free, I'm going to be rolling around like a pig in shit. |
Re: Battle Royale (Arrow Releasing)--October 2010?
Man, I hope they release the theatrical cut which imho is far superior than the supposed directors cut. This will give me an opportunity to replace my Tartan NTSC DVD version that someone never returned to me. Now if Criterion will Blu Salo, that guy will be off my shit list.

If region-free, I'm there. For either version.
|
Re: Battle Royale (Arrow Releasing)--October 2010?
Hell yeah, I'm all over this, too.
|
Re: Battle Royale (Arrow Releasing)--October 2010?
if they can finally release a watchable verison of the directors cut, i'm all over it, as the PAL verison had some of the worst motion blurring i've ever seen, as it was an NTSC print converted poorly to PAL

Negative. Departures is region-locked.
I'd prefer the theatrical cut as it's a tighter running film. |
Re: Battle Royale (Arrow Releasing)--October 2010?
Oh, so this is only going to be released outside of the states? Whatever.
|
Re: Battle Royale (Arrow Releasing)--October 2010?
There hasn't even been an official release inside the states on DVD/Blu-ray/VHS/whatever up to this point.
|
Re: Battle Royale (Arrow Releasing)--October 2010?
I know, I got really excited when I saw this but I guess if I want it I'll have to import it and buy a region free play. Not really something I'm in to.
|
Re: Battle Royale (Arrow Releasing)--October 2010?
Any update? This would be a day one purchase for me.
|
Re: Battle Royale (Arrow Releasing)--October 2010?
Amazon UK has it listed with a release date of 11/15 and supposedly it contains both cuts of the film.

Re: Battle Royale (Arrow Releasing)--October 2010?
Sorry to say, but since this isn't out in Japan on BD yet, there is no chance of it being region free... For Japan, in October, they will rerelease Battle Royale in theaters in 3D (! why?).
The theatrical and special versions being included was confirmed by Arrow films, but other extras haven't been confirmed or announced yet. |

Oh, man. I'm hoping that the muddy US distribution issues will drive Arrow to release this as a region-free disc. :up:
|
Re: Battle Royale (Arrow Releasing)--October 2010?
If this is region-locked it will be the reason why I invest in a multi-region BD player.

On a similar note, I actually started writing an American adaptation of it at one point. Maybe we should team up. :p (Then again, that was about 7-8 years ago and at this point I probably lost what little of the script I wrote :lol:) P.S. This might not be the thread for it, but does anyone know the reason why no one has ever licensed it for release in the US? |

However, when I was in high school and it was relatively new, people liked to use its unavailability in the R1 as proof it's "banned" in the US, which obviously is not true. |
