Remake of Old Boy Not a Remake

Posted by: PuppetMaster

OldBoy is one of the greatest films ever made. It is so awesome that it defy's the word awesome. I am not a fan of foreign films as a rule and OldBoy is one movie that blew me away and got me really giving foreign films a second chance. The new remake being done by Spielberg it turns out will not be a remake at all but is instead going to be based on the comic book according to Will Smith. You can checkout the comic book right here.

Will Smith told FSR that the film will be based on the comic... but that pretty much means it will be very similar to the film Park Chan Wook did which was also based on the comic.

Oldboy is Park Chan-Wook’s classic genre-defining revenge tale of a man who’s wrongly been imprisoned for 15 years and is then suddenly released. Given money and a cell phone, he’s challenged to discover who incarcerated him in the first place, but he only has five days to uncover the truth. Even with a mysterious young girl to help him, his tortures have just begun. Cannes-winner championed by Tarantino, Oldboy has become a cult favorite, regularly appearing in top ten best movie polls.
