Jin Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Makes me happy. Did not like this project, not at all. Its not like everything Spielberg touches becomes gold and this idea, well, it wasnt a good one. If they would make a remake of something, I think they should choose some old classic instead of something from 2003. Maybe Will as.. the Godfather? LOL...that movie is GOAT, you can't top that. But I would love to see Will in a gangster movie...like American Gangster! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gosia Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Twitch has learned that Spike Lee is currently in talks to direct the long-rumored Hollywood remake of Park Chan-Wook´s Oldboy. Word of a US remake of the Park Chan-Wook revenge classic first surfaced in 2008 with word that both Steven Spielberg (in some capacity) and Will Smith were eyeing the project and now it appears to finally be moving ahead. The film is set up at Mandate with Doug Davison and Roy Lee producing and Mark Protosevich (Thor, I Am Legend) writing the script. Lee is a shocking but intriguing prospect to direct this material and a damn sight more interesting than most of the director´s whose names have been floated as possibilities over the years. As for Smith, there´s no word yet if he is still involved but the man did just refuse the lead role of Tarantino´s Django Unchained, which would suggest he´s got something else in the works.http://twitchfilm.com/news/2011/07/breaking-spike-lee-in-talks-to-direct-oldboy-remake.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radewart Posted July 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 I doubt he's still involved, though he is done with MIB 3 and that M. Night movie isn't till January. I doubt that's enough time for a movie production Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ale Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Josh Brolin To Star In Spike Lee’s ‘Oldboy’ Redo For Mandate BREAKING: Josh Brolin was rumored to be on the short list to star in Spike Lee’s Oldboy, a remake of the cult 2003 Korean revenge thriller from Park Chan-wook. Now it’s official: Brolin will topline the Mandate Pictures redo, which begins production in March. Brolin, who just wrapped Men in Black 3 with Will Smith, next begins work on Warner Bros’ Gangster Squad. It looks like he’ll squeeze in Oldboy before shooting Jason Reitman’s Labor Day opposite Kate Winslet; that movie is set to begin production in June. The new Oldboy has script adapted by Mark Protosevich, who will co-produce. Roy Lee and Doug Davison will produce via Vertigo Entertainment with Lee’s 40 Acres & A Mule. Mandate president Nathan Kahane will executive produce. Originally, DreamWorks was looking to pick up remake rights in 2008, with the idea that Steven Spielberg would direct Smith. The story centers on a man who is kidnapped on his daughter’s birthday and held for 15 years in solitary confinement without explanation. He is eventually released and sets out on a path to take revenge on those who destroyed his life.http://www.deadline.com/2011/08/josh-brolin-to-star-in-spike-lees-oldboy-redo-for-mandate/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
