Lionsgate Home Entertainment will celebrate the 25th anniversary of Kinji Fukasaku's Battle Royale (2000), starring Tatsuya Fujiwara, Aki Maeda, Taro Yamamoto, Takeshi Kitano, and Chiaki Kuriyama. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on December 9th.
Description: In the near future, the economy has collapsed, unemployment has soared, and juvenile crime has exploded. Fearful of their nation's youth, the Japanese government passes The BR Law: Each year, a 9th grade class is sent to a remote island where they will be locked into exploding neck collars, given a random weapon, and forced to hunt and kill each other until there is only one survivor left. Chiaki Kuriyama (Kill Bill) and screen legend Takeshi Kitano (Ghost in the Shell) star in the movie that has been argued, acclaimed, and banned around the world. Presented in 4K for the first time on its 25th anniversary, it remains one of the most savage, shocking, and emotionally powerful films of all time.
