Considering Tarantino's penchant for championing Asian cinema and his taste for stylized hyper-violence, the pick certainly didn't come out of nowhere. But for many of those watching him chat about his favorites, the movie was as much of a myth as an actual product. Battle Royale hadn't been officially released on home video in the United States, so if you'd missed its few theatrical showings, you were left scrabbling for a bootleg version
It was adapted in 2012 as the film of the same name, launching a successful franchise. A sixth film in the series will be released next year. Speaking in a new interview on The Bret Easton Ellis Podcast, Tarantino said: Battle Royale is based on a novel. I do not understand how the Japanese writer didn't sue Suzanne Collins for every f***ing thing she owns. They just ripped off the f***ing book!
Destruction will play a key role in the mode, of course, but you can also expect many of the core game's gadgets and vehicles to be present - including ways to acquire armored vehicles for late-game situations. Anyone who played games like PUBG, Apex Legends, or Fortnite should be very familiar with how it's going to flow. The post confirms respawn mechanics, for instance.
