Video Home Invasion: Arrow Video and the Battle Royale Blu-ray!
I promised you news, and I've got it!
A couple of months back, Ard posted some great news about Kinji Fukasaku's final masterpiece Battle Royale coming to Blu-ray from our friends at Arrow Video. It was all true, but what hasn't been confirmed are any kind of details at all about the release. Well, I've been pushing on Fran over at Arrow to give me something juicy exclusively for Twitch readers and I managed to get an exclusive for you!
Arrow Video will be releasing BOTH CUTS of Battle Royale in high definition from brand new restorations of their own on November 29th! This will be the very first Blu-ray release of either edition! It is sure to blow away the available editions as far as picture and sound quality go, as well as the fact that the UK had previously only had access to a less than stellar NTSC-PAL conversion of the director's cut, which is the one I own. To get both cuts, each on their own Blu-ray disc is great news! Oh, but it doesn't end there!
Fran has also told us that Battle Royale will be available in a limited pressing of 5000 individually numbered units! Arrow Video will also be including some nifty limited edition exclusive extras which I cannot yet divulge, but trust me, it will be well worth your money! Fran tells me that this is no cash grab fakey limited edition, once the 5000 are gone, there will be no more printed, so get your orders in now!!! I've added the purchasing link below, please order through us and help Twitch to keep bringing the great news, and maybe I can talk Fran out of some more info when the time comes...
