The script will be adapted by Mark Protosevich as well as co-produced by Protosevich. Roy Lee and Doug Davison, who have worked on another American remake of an Asian film, &#8220;The Grudge,&#8221; will produce the film. The executive producer of the film will be Mandate President Nathan Kahane.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a great honor to put this special project into the hands of such a gifted writer and iconic director,&#8221; said Kahane.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the official synopsis of the film:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Oldboy&#8221; tells the story of a man who is kidnapped and imprisoned on his daughter\u2019s birthday.  For fifteen years, he is held captive, and, upon his release, must begin his journey to find the reason for his imprisonment.  He soon finds out that his kidnapper has plans for him more tortuous than his solitary confinement. The original film, released in 2003, directed by Chan-wook Park won the Grand Prize Jury Award at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>What do you think about the film being directed by Lee? How do you think this decision to have Lee as a director will affect the film?
