1. Battle Royale
Not since the heydays of Rumble Fish, The Outsiders and Stand By Me have we been treated to well-conceived English language films which purely revolve around the perspective and tribulations of the younger generation. Battle Royale's brilliance was in deliver an uber-violent film, but ramping up the shock value by basing it around the (usually) most innocent of creatures - kids. It's not an old film, but again it is a surprise no-one has tried remaking it already. Maybe it's because the sequel left such us so sour and unsatisfied. As soon we've got over the atrocity that was Battle Royale II: Requiem, someone should remind us how great the original was by delivering an intriguing remake. 'Kids out of control' is a concept which is now more relevant to Western society than ever - especially in America. So drumming up interest for this project shouldn't be a hard task. As long as the island isn't swapped for outer space, 30-year-old actors aren't cast as children, and it isn't beaten down to a PG rating, a new Battle Royale could prove a very interesting project.
