Steven Spielberg's Oldboy Remake Is Dead
DreamWorks was in the process of obtaining the rights to the original Japanese manga by Nobuaki Minegishi and Garon Tsuchiya with Mandate. The film was going to be based on that manga and not the Oldboy film, but it seems that DreamWorks and Mandate couldn't see eye to eye and have left the project.
We'll be sure to keep you posted on any new developments about this project as soon as we have more information.
Oldboy was released March 25th, 2005 and stars Min-sik Choi, Ji-tae Yu, Hye-jeong Kang, Dae-han Ji, Dal-su Oh, Byeong-ok Kim, Seung-Shin Lee, Jin-seo Yun. The film is directed by Chan-wook Park.
