Spielberg, Smith to Remake Oldboy Manga
Sunday, November 23rd, 2008News of an Oldboy remake, acquired by Steven Spielberg, had surfaced a few weeks ago, but now Will Smith has been quoted:
We’re looking at that right now. Not the film though, it’s the original source material. There’s the original comics of ‘Oldboy’ that they made the first film from. And that’s what we’re working from, not an adaptation of the film
