Oldboy American Remake Starring Josh Brolin – First Poster Revealed
Spike Lee’s version of the South Korean classic Oldboy, which was released in 2003, finally has a poster. This American remake – starring Josh Brolin, Elizabeth Olsen and Sharlto Copley – finally has a poster to whet the appetite of revenge-loving film goers.
And this is – in part – why it has taken this long for a remake to happen. Look to other world cinema, Let The Right One In for example, and you’ll see it doesn’t usually take long for a popular foreign film to find its way to Hollywood. Spike Lee has attempted to appease fans – a bad sign given that the film hasn’t even got its first trailer yet – by saying this will be more of a reimagining than a full remake, but we’ll have to wait and see if he’s managed the difficult task of improving this Korean masterpiece.
