Hmm... this has being going around in my head. I'm not so sure that it is about Battles WHoH....here's why.
First of all (I'm not definite here and willing to be told otherwise!) I don't think Battles was made by Nikkatsu Studios and Nikkatsu films are more known for their prolific Roman Porno era which lasted from 1971 to '86.
If it is Battles then why wouldn't Arrow just say so as most of the spec's are known already. Also it's due out this year...not next. Why "tease" that it's a "exciting project due out next year" if it's not?
I think Arrow have got a hold of some Nikkatsu titles, maybe from Synapse/Impulse pictures who have been releasing them in the States for a couple of years now. They have just released #24, Sexual Assault in a Hotel. Don May Jr has also said that they have got the go ahead to release around 25 more titles over the next few years. I don't think we'll get the more extreme titles but stuff like Fairy in a Cage might get passed...
Just a thought.
