    People are abducted, thrown on an island, and forced to kill or be killed? What else can be the premise?

    iirc the game was for prize money, not just survival. The contestants went into it voluntarily. I would imagine for a show, they'd give some characters sad backstories about having no other options or such, which is arguably about as unethical, really.

    It feels like Battle Royale already exists. Some real copy of a copy of a copy + brand energy.

    Does anyone else miss when new movies consisted of shit that didn’t already exist?

    It'd be really funny if they got most of the way through filming and then suddenly had to strip most elements of the game from the show.
