New Line has bought the remake rights to the controversial Japanese sci-fi pic "Battle Royale" reports Variety.
Original film, produced by Toie and released in 2000 amid concerns about its violence, is set in an apocalyptic future in which schools are overrun by uncontrolled violence.
The government responds by organizing an annual Battle Royale, in which a school class is picked at random and students are pitted against each other on an abandoned island in a game of survival.
Neal Moritz ("The Fast And The Furious") and Roy Lee ("The Ring", "The Grudge") will produce.
