What news on the Oldboy Hollywood bloodbath remake? We haven’t been hearing much sneaking out about this, but Moviehole have come in with a few really early word of mouth possibilities. Not in stone mind you, just some gossip, but good thoughts and worth talking about none the less.
I’ve heard the following whisper myself around the traps – so there might be something to it. It is early though – so predicting the weather in August might be easier.
According to Bloody Disgusting, Thomas Jane – “The Punisher” mightn’t have been much chop and mightn’t have set the box office on fire but it’s seemingly done wonders for his career – is up for the lead in the recently announced U.S remake of Korean hit “Oldboy”.
According to the site, they’ve heard a few whispers of a Jane link to the remake, but it took an interesting turn this weekend when Jane was spotted at the Nuart theater in California checking out Tartan’s Korean vengeance flick.
Very light and tenuous, so yes, predicting the weather tomorrow in the UK might be even easier! Still, what does everyone think? Are there better suggestions out there from the Hollywood pool of talent? Boll anyone?
So far it’s attracted the Director and writing team of Better Luck Tomorrow, which seems to have received some fair reviews. Has anyone seen this in comparison?
