Spike Lee's Oldboy, written by
Mark Protosevich (
The Cell,
I Am Legend) based on the original manga, tells the story of an advertising executive (
Josh Brolin) who is inexplicably kidnapped and held captive for 20 years. When he's unceremoniously released, he goes on an obsessive quest to find out who did this to him and why, enlisting the help of a young social worker (
Elizabeth Olsen) before he eventually tracks down an enigmatic man (
Sharlto Copley) who may have all the answers. Also co-stars
Samuel L. Jackson,
Richard Portnow and
Lance Reddick. "
Spike Lee is the right filmmaker to reimagine and put his touch onto arguably one of the most talked about thrillers in recent memory."
FilmDistrict will release Oldboy on
October 25th this year.
