Spike Lee's OLDBOY Remake Has a New Release Date

Movie Oldboy Spike Lee about 11 years agoby Joey Paur

Spike Lee's Oldboy remake was originally scheduled to be released on October 11th, 2013 now it will be released on October 25th, 2013. It's not a drastic change, only two weeks. It moves the remake away from Sin City: A Dame to Kill, and closer to both Ender's Game and Thor: The Dark World.

The movie stars Josh Brolin as Joe Doucett, with Elizabeth Olsen, Sharlto Copley, and Samuel L. Jackson. Here's the synopsis:

OLDBOY follows the story of an advertising executive (Josh Brolin) who is kidnapped and held hostage for 20 years in solitary confinement without any indication of his captor’s motive. When he is inexplicably released, he embarks on an obsessive mission to discover who orchestrated his bizarre and torturous punishment only to find he is still trapped in a web of conspiracy and torment. His quest for revenge leads him into an ill-fated relationship with a young social worker (Elizabeth Olsen) and ultimately to an illusive man (Sharlto Copley) who allegedly holds the key to his salvation.

I'm interested to see how this turns out. To read up on all of our Oldboy news coverage click here.
