Director Spike Lee is currently filming his remake of the 2003 South Korean revenge thriller Oldboy, which was also an adaptation of a manga. Josh Brolin (Men In Black 3), Elizabeth Olsen (Silent House), Sharlto Copley (District 9), James Ransone (Sinister) and Samuel L. Jackson (Marvel's The Avengers) all star in the film, which will be distributed by FilmDistrict. It has previously been stated that the movie will be released in 2013, but we haven't received a specific date until now. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Oldboy is set to hit theaters October 11th, 2013. According to the site, the film's story follows "an advertising executive (Brolin) who is kidnapped and held hostage for 20 years in solitary confinement for an unknown reasons. When the ad executive is 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 (Olsen) and ultimately to an illusive man (Copley) who allegedly holds the key to his salvation."

I hope Spike Lee's remake is just as good as the 2003 South Korean film.

I'm not really a fan of Spike Lee either but you try being black and working in Hollywood and not being named Will Smith.

Jesus... seriously? He didn't intentionally do that.

You seem to have some sort of agenda. America would probably be better off without people like you, too. So sick of people using this site as a [frick]ing soapbox.

Re-read what I wrote... where did I call you racist?

I'll wait...

"So if I dont vote for Obama does that make me a racist as well?" Again, I never said that but way to jump to conclusions.

No, the address Lee posted was of another couple's house and they received the "threats" or whatever. I could care less about Zimmerman - the man killed an unarmed kid and tried to justify it.

But I'm done with this little tit-for-tat; "a wise man told don't argue with fools because people from a distance can't tell who is who."
