Spike Lee has entered talks to work on a remake of Korean drama “Oldboy”, about a man who is kidnapped for 15 years before being released without explanation.
Spike Lee, 54, famous for his movies about race relations and the role of media in modern-day life, is in talks for a new version of the 2003 Korean project.
The original movie is about a man gets kidnapped and held in a cell for 15 years with no explanation when one day he is given money and a phone and released, allowing him to find out who destroyed his life and act our his revenge.
This project would be Spike’s first since his 2010 documentary ‘If Got Is Willing and Da Creek Don’t Rise’ about the Gulf of Mexico and the effects of Hurricane Katrina and the BP oil spill in the region.
Spike has been nominated for two Oscars in his career.
