Running man/Battle Royale hybrid rip-off? Looks quite ok for what it is though...I MAY see this one at theatres if I'm stuck for something to watch.
Hmmmm....

I distinctly remeber pitching this EXACT story to somone at WWE Films about a year and a half ago. They wanted to option Battle Royale, but didn't know how to adapt it to an american sensibility. I told them to forget about optioning the rights, just rip it off with a bunch of death row inmates, and it's the hottest show on tv - even do an American Idol-like casting process where the public votes on who goes to the island


Hmmmm...
