Oldboy
Spike Lee’s upcoming remake of the Park Chan-wook cult classic Oldboy has a lot of people really excited, and rightfully so. The original film is some pretty badass entertainment, and with Josh Brolin in the lead of the remake, there’s no reason why the English version can’t be more of the same. Granted, the new film supposedly isn’t going to be a dead-on remake, but rather more of a re-imagining. Still, it’s building off some really strong source material and unless someone really messes something up, it should channel at least a bit of that success.
We’ve seen a fair bit of promotion for this film, and the first trailer is definitely worth watching. It sets up a very exciting story and shows off Josh Brolin wielding that hammer, which is exciting in itself. There have also been some quality clips and posters released too, so there’s no reason why you shouldn’t know about this film by now.
In addition to Brolin, Oldboy also stars Sharlto Copley, Elizabeth Olsen and Samuel L. Jackson. Those names make for a pretty formidable foursome at the front of this movie, and if all goes well, Oldboy should give you one more thing to be thankful for this November.
