the same directors/writers of ringu or ringuku (can't remember...) have another movie, big over there, aboot an island full of teenage kids, where only one can survive. they drop off weapons and let er' rip.
anyone know if that'll ever get re-made here, or released with subtitles or something?
reminds me of 'the long walk' by stephen king...

It is Battle Royale. Other than to make money, there is no need to "North Americanize" the film. Just go see it.
It's Ringu (Ring) that you're talking about, but Takeshi Kitano (one of the producers of Battle Royale) wasn't involved in the original of the Ring, which is actually more frightening. In fact, the whole J and K horror genres are getting their rights scooped up by guys like Speilberg now, as a testament to their ability to actually scare.
And if you ever want to be really freaked out, watch "Audition".
