Venturing across to San Diego for Comic-Con this July, THN thought Spike Lee’s remake of Chan-wook Park’s classic revenge shocker OLDBOY would make a strong appearance, given the story’s graphic-novel origin. We were sadly disappointed but fans making the trip to this weekend’s New York event would finally get the chance to see some footage of the film being led by Josh Brolin. Over the last couple of days we’ve brought you some ourselves with clips coming via the film’s viral campaign, now we’ve received a trio of new images; one specifically giving us the first look at Sharlto Copley’s mysterious, main antagonist.
Oldboy is a provocative, visceral thriller that follows the story of Joe Doucett, a man who is abruptly kidnapped and held hostage for 20 years in solitary confinement, for no apparent reason. When he is suddenly released without explanation, he begins an obsessive mission to find out who imprisoned him, only to discover that the real mystery is why he was set free.
OLDBOY co-stars Samuel L. Jackson, Elizabeth Olsen, Lance Reddick, Michael Imperioli, James Ransone and opens in US cinemas on 27th November and the UK 6th December.
