Spike Lee's Oldboy - First Trailer Out (1 Viewer)

Usually I'll knock a remake for straying too far from the original but this pisses me off that it looks like a direct remake. If Brolin eats a live octopus I'll never watch Do The Right Thing again

 
Cool.

Would love to see an Asian director take on the reprise of Do the Right Thing, set in the Gangnam District instead of Bed-Stuy.

"Yo, Jung-ho! Why ain't there no Italian guys on your wall?"

 
someone remind me how the original ended...

didn't it turn out that the main guy was sleeping with his daughter, or something like that?
 
I actually have a question maybe someone can help me with. It might be cultural which is leading to my confusion

I don't really get what old daisu did wrong. He was telling his friend what he saw. That doesn't really constitute starting a rumor.

Also, if she wasn't really pregnant, what the hell was her brother talking about with words getting her pregnant.
 
Yet another movie that didn't need to be remade. Get some original ideas, Hollywood! You suck!!!!
Really? The original is subtitled, and only geeks and film snobs have actually seen it. I don't think this falls into the "didn't need to be remade by Hollywood" category at all. Heck, Hollywood didn't even make the first one.

Not sure I need to wrap this, but just to be safe:

The fact that he has a live tv feed in his cell looks like a potential indication of some sort of change to the story.

The original made $600,000 in the US BO

Dibs on the over

 
Was hoping Spike was going to do something with the story, but it looks like he just took the story and made it as Hollywood-ed the #### out of it, ugh.

 
More people posted in this thread than people who actually saw this movie. One of the biggest flops of the year. Made less than 2M in its opening weekend.

 
Horrible week for it to be released. Elizabeth Olson has a great rack. Brolin should've been cast as Batman.

 
Is this really the ending of the new one? If so no wonder it's getting such bad reviews.

In this one, we find out that the villain's entire family was one big incestuous clan. Brolin's character does in fact report them, leading to the villain's family being deported and the dad going crazy and shooting everybody before turning the gun on himself (the villain survives the encounter, of course).
 
Just watched it.

I liked it but was incredibly far-fetched. Made "the game" seem plausible. Brolins decision in the end pissed me off too.

Worth it though for Elizabeth Olson.

Yes
 
Yeah it was predictable and bad. Elizabeth is much better looking and a far better actress than her sisters though.
