Burbank Battle Royale!!

br_logo.jpgYouTube find of the day! It seems a group of creative Burbank High film production students shot a 22 minute short titled "Burbank Battle Royale" -- their take of the 2000 Japanese Box Office hit (turned cult classic in the West) Battle Royale, in which a fascist state pits teenagers against each other in a deadly survival game on an island. It's actually deeper than it sounds...but I'll leave it to you, dear reader, to see for yourself.

NOTE CONTENT -- In the tradition of the best do-it-yourself horror cinema, the filmmakers spill A LOT of fake blood, and if you find the idea of teens being coerced to fight one another repulsive, DO NOT PUSH PLAY!

Just move along -- nothing to see here...

The news and views from Glendale, Burbank and adjacent 'hoods, brought to you by Daily News reporter Alex Dobuzinskis (And yes, we know a chunk of Burbank is WEST of the 5, but "Mostly East of the 5" doesn't quite have the same ring to it.)
