Rumors have been going around the internet that Steven Spielberg and Will Smith are going to be remaking Chan-Wook Park’s Classic Old Boy. This Film School Rejects article clears it up a bit, saying Spielberg will be adapting the story from the graphic novel, rather than the film. A lot of the Old Boy fans are against the Spielberg/Smith project but I really don’t care either way. It would be interesting to see where they take it, but personally I must say I find Spielberg’s work is pretty whack and would expect this to suck.

I’m sure most of you who subscribe to the Bloglin are more than aware of Chan-Wook Park’s films. If not, check out the fight scene above and then go rent Old Boy! While I was in London I caught another of Park’s films on TV, I’m a Cyborg, But that’s OK, which was really odd and i was unaware Park had even directed until earlier today..

When is Hollywood going to bring him over to be the next John Woo? Maybe Team him up with The Rock?!
