First we had the confirmation a few months ago of Spike Lee directing the Hollywood remake of Park Chan-wook’s, Korean masterpiece, OLDBOY. Now arrives another confirmation with Josh Brolin (NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN) as the film’s lead.
Deadline, who broke the story, have not much else to say about the cast or production but you can expect the two other principle castings to be announced in the coming weeks as the film seems to be fast tracked. Brolin was on the top of the director’s list from the get go which is a welcome casting to previous rumours of the Steven Spielberg/Will Smith team up. Here’s the trailer for the original just to remind everyone of its awesomeness.
Paul finished is BA in Film & Broadcast Productions during the summer and has somehow landed the position of Media & Marketing Manager in the London Korean Film Festival happening this November (plug). While at University Paul found his speciality lay in Script Development, scriptwriting and Editing. He has written, edited and director a small number of not very good short films but does not let that dissuade him from powering through. After the Koreans are through with him he looks to enter the paid world of Script Development. He likes incredibly bad horror films, East Asian movies, comics and lots of other stuff.
