“Oldboy” is a film that has been discussed several times over the past year or two. Attributes of the film–the fact that it’s directed by Spike Lee, that it’s a remake of Chan-wook Park’s film based on the Japanese manga of the same name by Nobuaki Minegishi–have been fodder for many articles. Will the film be good? Will Lee keep the original integrity of the film? How will Josh Brolin do in the title role?
Well, those questions are still up in the air, but for right now, we’ve got the first poster from the film! Check it out below the post.
Here’s more about the film:
“OLDBOY is a provocative, visceral thriller that follows the story of an advertising executive (Josh Brolin) who is abruptly kidnapped and held hostage for 20 years in solitary confinement. When he is inexplicably released, he embarks on an obsessive mission to discover who orchestrated his bizarre and torturous punishment only to find he is still trapped in a web of conspiracy and torment. Co-starring Elizabeth Olsen and Sharlto Copley, OLDBOY was directed by Spike Lee, from a script by Mark Protosevich (“I Am Legend,” “The Cell,” “Thor”). The film was produced by Roy Lee, Doug Davison and Nathan Kahane.”
