i doubt will smith is going to... going to cut off his tongue after finding out he fucked his daughter

[mht]

the same Will Smith that doesn't cuss in his records wants to remake this or are we talking the Will Smith that does steroids for the New Orleans Saints?

[IAPAI]

what a terrible, terrible idea.

i'm assuming they'd have to change the end of the movie, which defeats the purpose of even making it.

I always got confused as shit during the excessive explanation near the end.
No American could ever touch Choi Min-Sik's coolness or hair from that film.

Plus that past sequence stuff was beyond most anything I've seen American filmmakers capable of, let alone getting right.

seems to be the be theme with Will Smith lately.


should call him King Crapper, because everything he touches turns to shit.

Will Smith does love to ruin good things. Wild Wild West, anyone?

[DroppedUrPocket]

the original has one of the best sequences i've ever seen. this will surely be ruined like i am legend and indiana jones have been.

[Thomas Balkcom]

[popdisaster00]

Makes me want to see the original, but this is definitely not the role for Smith

Steve Buscemi would be a better fit for this.

I don't get the joke. Is this one of those "not" jokes?

[MIKEY_HORROR]

Oldboy= one of my favorites

Remake Idea- not one of my favorites

[JesusV2]

What ever happened to the Battle Royale remake?

[MIKEY_HORROR]

What ever happened to the Battle Royale remake?

still happening, it got pushed back due to one of the tragedys I think..but cant remember which one (9/11 or one of the school shootings) .. I think it is slated for an 2009 release now...It wont let me look at the page on IMDB though...it says you need a pro acount..

[slickwataris]

This won't be a remake. It will adapt the original manga. (http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/news/exclusive-will-smith-talks-oldboy.php)

Spike Lee has chosen Josh Brolin as his Oldboy. Even though I'm meh on the project, I LOVE that casting. And if Christian Bale does end up the villain, even better.
