    Spike Lee directing Oldboy remake

    Several names have been thrown around as to who will be directing the upcoming Americanized remake of Chan-wook Park's Oldboy (Will Smith and Steven Spielberg were once involved) and now it looks like Spike Lee will officially be taking on the job with a script by Mark Protosevich (The Cell, I Am Legend, Thor).

    I'm sure the film will be toned down for American audiences, but I suppose they could've done a much worse job picking a director. Now we'll have to see who the studio chooses as their leading man that will really determine how potentially crap this remake will be

    Probably will do the whole set sometime down the road. I didn't really care for Oldboy, but as far as turning asian films to american remakes the record speaks for itself. The asian films are better than what the american film industry has done to them.

    Maybe I'll give the original another chance

    I think Spike Lee is a pretty good director and I think the Old Boy story would work with his style...of course the original will be better.

    Exactly, I am really curious to see his take on it in all honesty.

    I think spike could've been the best choice of a director they could have picked......watch the 25th hour and you will see what I'm talking about, he has a thing for noir films.

    I don't know an actor who can pull of what that guy did in the original though.

    If you want to keep with the whole Noir feel... a director like the Coens' or Lynch would have fit better... even Ridley Scott. Lee... not so much, Clockers and 25th hour are good, but not a good example of Noir.

    Of course they're not all that great, but they show that spike can pull this off.

    Spike Lee sucks, but lets be honest here, this remake was gonna blow, no matter who directed it.

    I choked on my coffee when I saw the "spike Lee to Direct Oldboy"

    Lady V was fuckin great!! I agree with you on the remakes and it makes me fuckin sick!!! You should give Oldboy another chance...good flick.

    Agreed with Steelba. It's going to suck regardless. I doubt I'll even watch it.

    We have to watch it (those who enjoyed the original)... It will give us all something else to bitch and scream about. Because it will no doubt suck ass compared to the original... (I have trouble wrapping my mind around the fact that some people didn't like the original - It kicked ass. Then again I'm having trouble with the fact that now I have to call it the "Original" in the first place...

    Rumored for now, but apparently Josh Brolin is being eyed as the lead

    Agree that it's going to suck no matter what. I probably won't even waste my time and bother with it.
