Movie Watch: Old Boy x Spike Lee

It has come to my attention that film maker Spike Lee is the new director behind a favorite film of mine and he will be doing a remake of the 2003 Korean Flim Old Boy which if you havent seen it by now, go find it stat! (that's doctor slang for right away)


Brief Synopsis:
The movie tells the story of a man who was kidnapped and imprisoned for 15 years and doesn't know why. After he's released he tries to find out why he was locked away and then learns that his kidnapper has got more torture in store for him. "Thor" and "I Am Legend" screenwriter Mark Protosevich is penning the script for the adaptation



As the youtube comment says below the video
"If you haven't seen this, you're an idiot."
Not to insult your intelligence of course but I also speak very highly of this film and would recommend it to anyone who loves a good movie that has heart, a good story and of course some kick-ass action sequences.


I am really looking forward to this adaptation since Will Smith and Steven Spielberg were trying to make this back in 2008 but ran into politics. Now for those of you that are complaining that adaptations ruin the movies, you have to remember that the Korean film was adapted from a Japanese comic so take off them hater goggles and stay tuned...


In the words of Spike:
