Remake off oldboy eh can this work spielberg thinks so.

Steven Spielberg and Will Smith are in talks to collaborate on a Hollywood remake of Chan Wook-Park&rsquos Oldboy. Seriously people, what the hell? Spielberg&rsquos company DreamWorks is in the process of securing the rights to the South Korean film and the man who once made E.T is hiring a writer. The director has been looking to work with Smith for some time, according to Variety. Source material In the original 2003 film, a man named Dae-Su is locked in a hotel room without knowing who is imposing the captivity on him, or why. He is released fifteen years later and sent on a journey for revenge. The film won the Grand Prix at Cannes in 2004 and Quentin Tarantino unsuccessfully tried to convince the jury to award it the Palme d&rsquoOr instead Fahrenheit 9/11. We gave it four stars and said: &ldquoA fusion of horror and heartbreak, this revenge tragedy is twisted with ultra-violence and devastating plot swerves. Enjoy - if you can.&rdquo How Spielberg is going to crowbar aliens and suburbia into this, we have no idea.
