OLDBOY FEATURETTE (Video) – When news of an American remake of Oldboy arose, many fans responded with skepticism since the 2003 South Korean film garnered international acclaim. Despite the film’s mounting expectations, director Spike Lee emphasizes that the upcoming thriller is adapted from the original manga and ignores how the 2003 film approached the source material. In this featurette, stars Josh Brolin, Elizabeth Olsen, and Samuel L. Jackson comment on the story’s dark twists, unpredictable surprises, and the intense thrills. Oldboy also stars Sharlto Copley, Michael Imperioli, Richard Portnow, and Lance Reddick.
“There’s such an element of mystery to it: very nebulous and very strange.” – Michael Imperioli
“It’s a roller coaster of a film that’s hard to compare to any other film.” – Samuel L. Jackson
“It’s an experience, and that’s what I want going to the movies – I want to be moved…anything goes. It’s just wide open; it’s the most difficult thing I’ve ever done.” – Josh Brolin
“I want people to feel so punched in the gut that their jaws drop.” – Elizabeth Olsen
PLOT: An advertising executive is kidnapped and held hostage for 20 years in solitary confinement. When he is inexplicably released, he embarks on an obsessive mission to discover who orchestrated his punishment, only to find he is still trapped in a web of conspiracy and torment.
