Oldboy remake...with odd choices for Director and Star

[Aurone]

Steven Spielberg and Will Smith are considering working together to remake the Korean classic, Oldboy.

The original story concerns a businessman who is kidnapped and incarcerated for 15 years without explanation. He is then released, and spends the rest of the film searching for his captor and trying to find out why.

The original isn't exactly the type of mainstream film that Spielberg and Smith are usually involved with. Spielberg, however, is already looking for a writer for the project.

First off, I know K.I.N.G. is gonna have a heartattack now.

Second, we've had enough Asian Butchering. Still though...It's the almighty Spielberg. And Even though I'm not Will Smith's biggest fan, he is a good actor. I'm just not sure on this.

WOW

[deadcellsociety]

Smith was ok in I AM LEGEND.Generally not a fan of his but he did alright!

[Slayer]

For the love of God please leave Oldboy alone!

[IKickAssForTheLord]

wow I can't believe this, they better not remake this!!!

[Darkgod]

Some films just need not be touched.

[Doc Awesome]

I definitely won't be seeing this. I want nothing to do with this. Spielberg will most likely F it up and he's bringing truth to that already by wanting Will Smith.

[xxsic4slipknotxx]

Please no, not Oldboy for crying out loud!

[cmurdur]

Never seen it.

Murder... who you dig more? Miller or Moore?

I gotta go with Miller on that one. He wrote the two best Batman stories back to back, the beginning and end of Batman. Moore is great, too, and "Watchmen" rocks my balls to the core, but being a big Batfan, Miller wins it.

Miller also has the best run on Daredevil ever.

True that. People always like to criticize Miller these days for his bad writing for "ASBAR:TBW", but that's the same thing as saying Willy Mays was a terrible player in his final years. People just seem to lose their touch later in their careers. Just because Miller has done some bad stories as of recently, that doesn't take away that he was the comic writer in the 1980's.

I actually dig his new work, atleast he didn't fall off like Chris Claremont.

I know he's doing Excalibur stuff, but I actually haven't heard anything about it.

[Tarantino]

Oldboy is one of my all-time favorites, strangely... this doesn't affect me at all. I'm actually kind of interested, it won't touch the original but I'm interested.

[Rust In Peace]

Ah... Son of a bitch.... WHY? First him and Lucas rape Indiana Jones and now this?

[ZION]

The sad thing is not only they are going to give this a shot but no way they will come close to the violence, Spilberg will clean it up for a hard PG-13. Excuse me, im a little drunk and heard about this earlier while my wife was watching E! I almost dropped my Crown on the rocks! This is BULLSHIT.
