I am not sure about the “Oldboy” remake. I think Spike Lee is an interesting choice to helm an English-language remake of Chan-wook Park’s visceral film, but the poster seems to set the wrong tone. Josh Brolin, playing the role originated by Min-sik Choi, in the poster seems too aware, almost hyper-aware, in fact. Now, […]
Here’s the new Barry Sonnenfeld‘s “Men In Black 3” trailer, which I hope is better than MIIB (“Men In Black 2”). That being said, for some strange reason what I want to see most from this film is Josh Brolin channeling Tommy Lee Jones, who also stars in the film.
Sorry about the delay on this one (damn work;). According to Deadline, Josh Brolin has signed up for Spike Lee’s “Oldboy.” I want to call it a remake of Chan-wook Park’s film, but it seems that it’s based upon the manga (which was the basis for the film).
According to Aintitcoolnews.com, Josh Brolin is being sought for a lead role in Spike Lee’s take on Chan wook-Park’s “Oldboy.” It’s seems like a good choice, because onscreen he can appear somewhat volatile, which is perhaps not too different from real life if the bar fight during the filming of Oliver Stone’s “W” is any indicator.
