Warner Brothers have bought up the remake rights for Park Chan Wook’s classic Korean movie SYMPATHY FOR MR. VENGEANCE, according to trade paper Variety.
The new movie will be written by Brian Tucker (BROKEN CITY) and produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Mark Vahradian.
In the original film, the women two different men love most are murdered, and the men set out on violent quests to punish those responsible. Trouble is, they themselves are the ones responsible and only one of them will have vengeance.
The flick is part of the infamous Korean ‘Vengeance’ trilogy, also containing the violent OLDBOY, which is also in remake territory over at Mandate and Vertigo.
