Spielberg, Smith to Remake Oldboy Manga

November 23rd, 2008 | Tags: | Posted in Manga

News 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

Smith is set to star in Spielberg’s Oldboy.

How do you feel about an Oldboy remake? Are you glad it is based off the original comics and not the Chan-wook Park 2003 film?
