Oh, it'll be butchered. Just like nearly every other remake of Japanese movies.

The original had a great deal of gore, I'm willing to bet the new version will have less. We are talking about the people who made XXX2 and the Fast and the Furious. Explosions rather than blood are their particular FX of choice.

Even the original could have used some work on the plot. They lost a little bit of the purpose of the whole island fight or whatever you want to call it, or at the least it wasn't clear or conveyed well. But with re-writers and directors like these, you can be assured that this one will tarnish the original's reputation in any and every way possible.

I should really pick up some of the manga before this travesty comes to light.
