  |  @   |  

A new trailer and a collection of new posters have been released for Oldboy, the remake of Park Chan-wook’s South Korean 2003 classic of the same name being directed by Spike Lee.

For those not familiar with the original, it tells the story of a man (Josh Brolin) who’s kidnapped and held in a hotel-like prison for many years without any explanation and then released, leading him to begin a quest to find who did this to him and why, and then get his revenge.

The new trailer and posters (seen above in smaller form; hit the source link below to find larger versions) focus on the prison. Check out the trailer below.

Today is National Fortune Cookie Day and the Oldboy remake is celebrating.

  |  @   |  

Spike Lee‘s adaptation of Park Chan-wook‘s Oldboy has had some bumps during the pre-production process, which almost led to the film’s demise. But like the character itself, Lee refused to give up, and now we have our first look at the film starring Josh Brolin, Samuel L. Jackson, and Rooney Mara.

Brolin plays a man who is kidnapped for no apparent reason and held captive in a hotel room. Released 20 years later without any explanation, the former captive has a thirst for vengeance on those who forced him to live locked away from society and charged with a vicious crime he did not commit.

Hit the jump to see the first trailer for Oldboy.
