After the crappy sequel and the recent reports of an impending 3D "upgrade" of the 2000 original we're finally getting some good news for Battle Royale.
According to the Cult Labs Forum, Arrow Films will release Kinji Fukasaku's cult classic on Blu-ray Disc in the UK on October 4th.
No further details regarding remastering measures or bonus materials have been announced yet. Arrow Films has already released several films on Blu-ray Discs, some of these releases (Cinema Paradiso, Who Dares Wins) were region free while others were locked to Region B (like the Oscar-winning Departures).

Arrow have been extremely hit and miss, with more miss than hit IMO.
The more I think about this release the more I expect it to be an upscale of existing materials. It seems beyond unlikely for Toei to allow one of their "crown jewels" to make its HD debut on a small British label. In the event that a true 1080p master is somehow being used to source this disc, the chances of it being locked to Region B are approximately one hundred and fifty percent. Toei couldn't possibly want parallel imports ruining the Japanese market for a Blu-ray release of this film - and given BD prices in the UK compared to Japan, that's exactly what would happen. Even if the master is total crap, I still expect a region-locked disc. If it's region free and worth a damn, I'll be speechless.
Finally!
