Ik heb hier op het forum er nog niemand over gehoord en zelf wist ik er ook niks van maar er komt een vervolg op Battle Royale.
Synopsis:
"Set one year after BR1, the two surviving students from the previous year's bloodbath, Shuya Nanahara (Fujiwara) and Noriko Nakagawa (Aki Maeda) return home, their lives permanently scarred by the terrifying experiences of BR1. Around them, the Battle Royale act continues and another class is kidnapped and placed in a Battle Royale. After the previous incidents, the public becomes aware of what the Japanese government is doing to their children and riots break out, some people violently attacking Japanese politicians in the street. Democracy no longer exists in this Japan where the country is dictated by the Japanese military who came away from World War II victorious alongside Germany. The rioters are violently dealt with and their children are thrown in to Battle Royale along with the randomly selected tenth grade class of boys and girls.
The Battle Royale Second Movie is based on the Koshun Takami novel which follows on from the first novel, however unlike the novel features the two main characters returning to Battle Royale. In an act of aggression and in order to take revenge on the adults, Nanahara attempts to attack Japanese Parliament with little support from Nakagawa, who, after being traumatized by her experience in the previous Battle Royale, is indifferent to Nanahara's decision. Nanahara's plans to attack the government are soon uncovered and Nanahara is classified as a global terrorist and is stamped as being involved with Afghanistan. Resultantly, the United States Military steps in along with the assistances of a new team of students to fight Nanahara, in and outside of the BR Island battlefield.
De film is nog in productie en schijnt deze zomer in Japan uit te komen.
Als ik dit zo lees lijkt het mij best een leuk vervolg te worden en zeker na dat ik dit ergens las: 'Compared to Battle Royale, the sequel will have more violence...'
Ik heb nog geen tijd gehad om alles te lezen maar hier meer info over het vervolg:
