Oldboy remake with Will Smith and Spielberg!?!?

Friday, November 7th, 2008

It probably won’t happen but:

If you’ve missed the original by Chan-wook Park, Oldboy centers on a man who is kidnapped and imprisoned in a cell for 15 years with no explanation, until he is released one day and given a cell phone, money, and clothes. He then sets out to discover what happened and get his revenge.
