As a huge fan of the Korean smash, OLDBOY, is was disheartened but not surprised to hear a of rumours that Spielberg and the Fresh Prince were looking to remake the classic, even if it was going to be radically different. Lucky this fell away with Spielberg taking up WAR HORSE, and Smith looking at MEN IN BLACK 3. Sadly though the nightmare has returned.
Mandate Pictures, the company with the US rights have apparently fallen in love with the new script delivered by I A LEGEND scribe, Mark Protosevich. The studio is aiming to have Spielbergback on the project but with WAR HORSE wrapping up and pre-production on ROBOPOCALYPSE, it looks unlike. The next contender being either, Danny Boyle or Matthew Vaughn, even though he’s pretty busy with KICK ASS 2: BALLS TO THE WALL and then possibly SUPERIOR.
