Spike Lee's Oldboy Will Feature New Elements, Characters to 'Throw Off the Audience'
Oldboy producer Roy Lee recently spilled some vague details on Spike Lee's Josh Brolin-starring remake, promising a "darker" retelling of Park Chan-wook's Korean thriller also adapted from the original manga. "It's very similar, but we've added new elements. Or, Mark Protosevich has come up with new elements to it that will throw off the audience who have seen the original movie because there are new characters and new situations that present themselves in a way that changes the story but eventually go in the same direction." Sure, Spike. Let me just go get my hammer... [Collider via Slashfilm]

Darker?! Yeah, because the original "Oldboy" was such a light-hearted romp...
The only way it could be darker is if, at the end of the movie, the characters come off the screen and start raping me.
They could just go ahead and give it the Bewitched treatment. Wouldn't you love seeing Will Ferrell coke binge his way through that?
Now that would be a 4-D experience!
