Film: Newswire: Battle Royale coming to US theaters at last (in 3D, but still)

This is such a strange move. I wonder how big a release they’re planning, because there can’t be much overlap between the 3D crowd and the subtitles crowd, regardless of the arguable potential for the former to be enticed by BR’s unorthodox brand of ultraviolence. A shitty American remake wouldn’t have surprised me, but a 3D’d American theatrical release (of any size) ten years later is not something I ever saw coming.
