The thing about Oldboy that really blew me away was the hallway fight sequence. unless Will Smith can pull off something like that, im not interested.

Once again hollywood cant think of anything new. I'm so tired of remakes especially remakes on movies that shouldnt be messed with. Plus i cant stand will smith. I just dont watch remakes anymore i tried with halloween but that was about as bad as they get.

Oldboy remake
I just read this on Wired, if it's true I'm going to start breaking inanimate objects in a fit of rage!
Spielberg and Will Smith May Redo Bloody Oldboy By Hugh Hart November 07, 2008 | 2:47:57 PMCategories: Movies After he directs British schoolboy comic Tintin, Steven Spielberg is casting his gaze overseas to far darker material. The filmmaker is reportedly in talks to remake Korean revenge drama Oldboy with Will Smith in the lead. Winner of the 2004 Cannes Film Festival Grand Jury Prize, director Chan Wook-park's manga-based thriller became an art house hit. Beautifully shot, the original Oldboy tells a gripping tale about a Seoul businessman (played by Min-sik Choi, pictured) who gets kidnapped and tossed into a cell for 15 years by unseen captors for no apparent reason. Escaping at last, he follows a trail of clues to avenge his tormentors. Oldboy would mark the first collaboration between Spielberg and Smith. Variety reports that Spielberg is now looking for a writer to develop a script for American audiences.

3 years ago i read on IMDB that Oldboy was being remade with Danny Glover in the lead role. Don't remember the director tho.
Well, that project got cancelled obviously.

What the flying (*&^?!?!?!
Oldboy is great, this Idea is crap. (Haven't posted in forever, should probally give the rules a quick once through so I remember what language I can get away with) Nothing against Will Smith, but the material just isn't his forte. Aren't we all way passed tired of remakes by now? (Yeah, I'm going to see F13 this Friday, but It's Jason, I can't help it) The MPAA would absolutely freak about the father/daughter relationship in the flick. Can you imagine Big Willie watching the original film and agreeing to this?

In case anyone is as obsessed with this debacle as I am...
Apparently Will Smith passed on the role (as did Daniel Craig)... And right now it's currently on Josh Brolin's (what???) plate. Also, the director cap has been removed from Spielberg and placed on the head of Spike Lee. As for our bad guy? Apparently Colin Firth (WHAT???) was offered the role (PUKE) but it may be Clive Owen or Christian Bale who fulfills it. slashfilm.com: http://www.slashfilm.com/clive-owen-...ldboy-bad-guy/ Also, Lee claims that his ending will be "darker." Says Lee: Quote:
"Darker"? REALLY?! I'm a bit flummoxed at this claim, and it makes me want to barf. At lease I do have some faith in Lee (over Spielberg), but honestly I don't understand how this movie can possibly be remade. :mad: My only consolation is that I hope that this remake has filled the pockets of Chan Wook Park so that he can finance his next great film.
