Variety's Justin Kroll Reports:








Well this is a surprise. If the rumors are true that Christian Bale will be signing on soon, and we already know Josh Brolin is on board that would seem to be one heck of cast. Add in Spike Lee who redeemed himself recently with the thrilling and intelligent, Inside Man. I would hope a scheduling issue arose. If not, then I would be worrying about the what changes have been made in order to adapt this complex and salacious story to the American audience.

Oldboy is about a man who is abducted on the day of his daughters birthday. He is locked away in a tiny room for fifteen years. During those years he tries to commit suicide, but is prevented by his captor. And once he has finally figured out a way to escape, he is set free.

He is given new clothes, a cellphone, and money. He encounters a female chef named Mido, they have a strong attraction to each other and become lovers. Although he has found happiness with Mido he still wants to figure out who kidnapped him all those years ago and more importantly why.
