Spielberg NOT Remaking Oldboy

Many fear fans were less than thrilled to hear that Steven Spielberg was to remake Chan-wook Park’s classic Oldboy. The presence of Will Smith in the lead role was hardly reassuring.

Now it’s being reported that Spielberg will not be remaking Oldboy. He’ll still be makingOldboy, just not remaking it.

Confused? I’m not surprised!

It appears that rather than base his movie on the Korean classic, Spielberg intends to go further back and work from the original manga comic books by Nobuaki Minegishi and Garon Tsuchiya. So it won’t be a remake of the first film, rather an alternative take on the original source material.

I’m still not convinced.
