So Josh Brolin (who should be frikkin BATMAN not that ponce Afflek) is staring in the remake of the classic film 'Oldboy'.

I cant wait for this. i really want to see how they deal with the hallway hammer scene and the general story from a more western prespective. Obviously the reasons the main character in the original film does what he does is based on cultural acceptabilities that we wouldn't give a drokk about in the west so i wonder...... Will he chop it out? or will he give a drokk?



trailer

Dont tell me none of you's pansy boi's have seen Oldboy?

Really?

I have seen Oldboy

Seen some 'making of' about it too, certainly some interesting scenes

Trailer looks good.

Is this 'im?

twas part of a trio of films on the theme of revenge. classic cult styles.

Guy is just taken from the street and locked up in a room for 15 years then let out but doesn't know what the drokk why. has to go find out for himself and the answer is a bitch.


@wurly:

Going over a mate who has the trilogy's tonight. Might recommend watching it tonight. Classic film

Does that mean they're remaking the rest of the trilogy then?

The original oldboy is awesome.

@nath: you never know. the other two never got the same recognition. maybe a little too far away culturally for a western audience. Twould be good though.

@rob: You cant beat a good bit of shadowboxing

Yes, seen oldboy - excellent film. Can't believe affleck is going to be Batman though. Seriously? He's a massive mincer!

And Batman vs Superman? Haven't read the comics, so maybe it makes sense to somebody. But a new concept to me. Will be interesting to see which way it goes though!
