"Oldboy" (2003) ist ein koreanischer Rachefilm von Chan-Wook Park (u.a. "Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance"), der auf einem 8-bändigen japanischen Manga basiert...
Oh Dae-Su (Min-sik Choi), ein durchschnittlicher Geschäftsmann und Familienmensch, wird von Unbekannten scheinbar grundlos entführt und in ein fensterloses Zimmer gesperrt. Es vergehen viele Jahre ohne jeden menschlichen Kontakt. Jahre, in denen sich Oh Dae-Su immer wieder fragt, wer sein Peiniger ist. Von Hass getrieben fängt er an, seine nackten Fäuste an der Zellenwand abzuhärten. Einzig der Gedanke an Rache zählt noch...
Plötzlich, nach 15 Jahren, findet sich Oh Dae-Su in Freiheit wieder. Doch sein Albtraum ist damit längst nicht am Ende... er fängt gerade erst an...
"Old Boy" kam am 2. September 2004 in die deutschen Kinos...
Ein "Oldboy" US-Remake ist seit längerer Zeit geplant, nun sogar unter der Regie von Steven Spielberg und mit Will Smith in der Hauptrolle, die allerdings die Comic-Vorlage neu verfilmen wollen...

AnimeNewsNetwork.com berichtet über einen Rechtsstreit in Sachen "OldBoy"-Remake...
Futabasha, the Japanese publisher of Garon Tsuchiya and Nobuaki Minegishi's Old Boy manga, is suing the Korean film production company Show East over the rights to remake the story into a Hollywood film. In the story, a man who was imprisoned for over a decade hunts down his mysterious former kidnappers to take revenge. Show East had produced the popular, critically acclaimed 2003 Korean film version that Chan-wook Park directed. The lawsuit was revealed at the Seoul Central District Court on Wednesday, although the lawsuit was actually filed on Monday.
Futabasha is suing to confirm the lack of a binding contract between the two parties, due to an alleged breach. Futabasha asserts that Show East violated its basic agreement with Futabasha, and thus nullified it, when Show East pushed for the production of a film remake with America's Universal Pictures. Show East signed its contract with Futabasha over film rights in September of 2002, and signed a second contract in December of 2003 that amended the original one to cover other materials.
3 million people saw Park's Old Boy film in South Korea. The Variety entertainment trade news source reported last November that director Steven Spielberg (Saving Private Ryan, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Jaws) and action star Will Smith (Independence Day, I Am Legend, Men in Black) were discussing a possible collaboration to remake the film. However, later that same month, Smith told the Film School Rejects website that Spielberg's team was adapting the original Old Boy manga, and not remaking Park's film version.
Dark Horse Comics published the manga in North America from 2006 to 2007, and the manga won an Eisner Award for Best U.S. Edition of International Material - Japan in 2007.

Film School Rejects zitiert Will Smith...
[...] we heard it straight from the star's mouth that he is definitely starring in Steven Spielberg's Oldboy... with a twist. Smith wanted to make a very strong point that this is not an adaptation of Chan-wook Park's 2003 film. So what is it an adaptation of?
We're looking at that right now. Not the film though, it's the original source material. There's the original comics of 'Oldboy' that they made the first film from. And that's what we're working from, not an adaptation of the film...," said Smith.
Apparently Spielberg wasn't acquiring the rights to the film Oldboy, he was acquiring the rights to the original source material of the graphic novel 'Oldboy.' I guess the next question would be - what does this mean? This means that fans can rest a bit easier knowing that no one is trying to make a better Oldboy for an American audience. This means that Spielberg is free to truly adapt the source material and not try and copycat the brilliance of Park's masterpiece. This also means that it will likely be an entirely different film, however, but the graphic novel is still very close to Park's movie. [...]

THR.com berichtet über das US-Remake...
Nothing brings people together like $584 million in worldwide revenue.
In a potential high-profile star-writer reunion, "I Am Legend" co-scribe Mark Protosevich is in early talks to pen the remake of "Old Boy" that boxoffice king and "Legend" star Will Smith is developing with director Steven Spielberg.
DreamWorks secured the remake rights from Mandate Pictures, which also is staying involved in the project. Although the studio was meeting with several high-profile writers to do the adaptation, Smith invited Protosevich to meet with Spielberg on the project.
DreamWorks declined comment. The rights deal with Mandate is not complete.
Mandate acquired the 2003 Korean film co-written and directed by Park Chan-wook from Universal, which picked up the rights in 2004 with Vertigo Entertainment ("The Eye," "The Grudge"). The original film, which like much edgy Asian cinema includes some disturbing material, detailed a man's mysterious kidnapping, 15-year imprisonment and feverish quest for revenge upon being released.
A slew of Asian remakes have found their way into American theaters and onto development slates in the past few years. Screenwriter William Monahan won the best adapted screenplay Oscar in 2007 for translating the Hong Kong thriller "Infernal Affairs" into the 2006 best picture winner "The Departed," at Warner Bros. And Brad Ingelsby is adapting the 2000 Korean gangster movie "Die Bad," which "Quantum of Solace" director Marc Forster is negotiating to helm for Universal.
DreamWorks has engaged in a flurry of activity since its departure from Paramount two months ago. At that time, Spielberg and co-chairman and CEO Stacey Snider took 17 projects with them that DreamWorks had developed at Paramount, which retains an option to co-finance and co-distribute any resulting production.
"Old Boy" would be DreamWorks' first acquisition since the move, though Mandate might retain some ownership role in the film. Spielberg has been working on directing the first of a planned series of "Tintin" films with fellow producer Peter Jackson.
The CAA-repped Protosevich also has written "Poseidon" and "The Cell," and he worked on "Thor" for Marvel Studios.

Variety.com berichtet über den Stand der Dinge in Sachen US-Remake...
Steven Spielberg and Will Smith are in early discussions to collaborate on a remake of Chan Wook-park's "Oldboy." DreamWorks is in the process of securing the remake rights, and the new pic will be distributed by Universal.
In the 2003 Korean original, a man gets kidnapped and held in a shabby cell for 15 years without explanation. Suddenly, he's released and given money, a cell phone and clothes and is set on a path to discover who destroyed his life so he can take revenge.
Spielberg had been looking for an opportunity to make a film with Smith, who would play the kidnapped man if all the pieces fall into place. Spielberg is looking for a writer to begin the development process.
The film was originally set at U and then found its way to Mandate. [...]

CS! sprach mit dem Regisseur Justin Lin...
[...] At one point, Lin was also slated to direct a remake of Park Chan-Wook's Korean action-thriller Old Boy, so we wondered whether that might be something that will still happen. "That was a situation where the studio had purchased a property and I love the original movie," he said. "Everybody has their opinions on remakes and if the goal was to basically make a Xerox copy, then I wouldn't want to make that. It's a tough movie to remake. It's a big challenge. In the last year, if anything, I've been protecting it a little bit, because if it's not the right situation, then I'm probably not the right guy for it. I think it's one of those things that came and as a young filmmaker, I just want to try things whether I succeed or fail. That one, because it's at a big studio, and I think for all the pieces to fall right and to be able to make the film correctly, I don't know if I'm even the right guy to do that. These are things that I've learned, especially with other films, sometimes you go and make it just to make it and have fun with it. That was one where I was very protective and if one element wasn't correct - that's where I'm standing. If it's not totally there, it's not worth it. I personally haven't been able to find the right fit nor the right rhythm, so we'll see. I honestly will probably move on from that." [...]

While attending a screening of his hilarious new film, Finishing the Game, at this year's Sundance Film Festival, Director Justin Lin chatted a bit with Bloody-Disgusting about the delayed remake to Oldboy. He tells us that right now it doesn't look like it will happen. He says he has a lot of other projects in the works and that the only way he'd make it is if everything "gelled" together right. He loves the original film and wouldn't want to disrespect it. So the short answer is don't expect a remake to Oldboy - at least from Justin Lin. In a recently paroled middle-aged man, who spent 15 years in prison without any explanation as to why he was jailed, seeks revenge on those who conspired against him.

SciFi.com berichtet über das US-Remake...
Roy Lee, who produced the English-language remakes of Japanese horror films The Ring and The Grudge, has more than a dozen films in development next year that will also be based on Asian hits, Variety reported. Lee has produced seven remakes so far, including Dark Water, The Lake House and The Departed.
Among the films Lee is producing is Host, which holds the all-time record for biggest box office in Korea. Lee told the trade paper that he is currently trying to figure out a way to remove the pic's underlying anti-American stance, while making it more than a generic monster movie. Lee's other upcoming projects include The Invasion - starring Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig - The Eye, Ikiru, Oldboy and a third installment in the Ring franchise.

SuicideGirls.com sprach kürzlich mit dem Remake-Regisseur Justin Lin...
[...] DRE: I've heard a couple rumors of rumors about the Oldboy remake. That the main character will eat tacos instead of squid. Is that correct?
Justin: [laughs] We're just playing around. We went from tacos to burritos but right now we're so far away from it being a reality. I love that film and the only reason I wanted to explore that avenue is because it really spoke to me. I didn't sign on to make a Xerox copy of the original because it's a masterpiece. I wanted to explore other themes within it. If I was going to come close to making a Xerox I hope I have enough sense to stop that process. Oldboy is one of those projects where structurally it's so solid and it brings up so many great themes that you could give it to ten different filmmakers and it would be interesting to see what comes out of each of them.
So far Universal has been very open to anything. I told them that I'm not signing on unless we're not going to water down the ending. It has always been important to make sure that it's understood up front what we're trying to accomplish.
DRE: Is Nicolas Cage still attached?
Justin: We don't have formal attachments. It's a great movie and any actor in their right mind would want to be a part of it. I know he said publicly he'd be interested in it. I just don't think we're at that stage yet so hopefully after I wrap this movie I'll have a little bit more time to play around and see what comes up. [...]

Bei AICN gibt es ein Interview mit Fabian Marquez, dem Drehbuchautor des US-Remakes...
[...] when asked about writing the film during the panel discussion, Marquez mentioned that a lot of set pieces like the one-take fight scene, themes, philosophy, and plot points would remain. Also, he mentioned that tomorrow, Friday the 22nd, was the day that he'd be turning in a rough draft, the 7th or 9th or so, to Universal. So we are still in the very, very early stages. Marquez also mentioned the original Korean film to be "a masterpiece" and that what he's written so far has been an "homage" to the original.
[...] Marquez mentioned that Russell Crowe is interested in playing the main character, Oh Dae Su. Hell yeah! I'm fine with that! He can play 3 weeks ago, after all! Aside from Chris Rock's Oscar jokes, for the villain, when I asked, there wasn't anywone attatched or interested or named or whatever either. However, Marquez mentioned that he would like to see John Cusack play Lee Woo Jin. Hell yeah again! Imagine John Cusack in that role! [...]

Bei Moviehole gibt es neue Gerüchte zum US-Remake...
I've heard the following whisper myself around the traps - so there might be something to it. It is early though - so predicting the weather in August might be easier.
According to Bloody Disgusting, Thomas Jane - "The Punisher" mightn't have been much chop and mightn't have set the box office on fire but it's seemingly done wonders for his career - is up for the lead in the recently announced U.S remake of Korean hit "Oldboy".
According to the site, they've heard a few whispers of a Jane link to the remake, but it took an interesting turn this weekend when Jane was spotted at the Nuart theater in California checking out Tartan's Korean vengeance flick. [...]

[...] Nicholas Cage married a 21 year old Korean American girl a few months back and is here in Korea now doing double duty, promoting National Treasure and meeting the inlaws. Now this rumor is not even second hand, it's more like third hand, but it goes like this. Supposedly a friend of a friend of a friend met Cage, and they spoke about what he might be doing next. The rumor goes that Cage is very much interested in starring in the American version of Oldboy. I have nothing to back this up, but thought maybe you could confirm it one way or the other. Personally I'm not a huge Nicholas Cage fan, but having seen the original Oldboy and loving it, I think Cage might be perfect. That being said, I'm not sure a new version needs to be made at all. The original was a classic in its own right. [...]

Spiegel Online liefert eine Kritik...
[...] ein kunstvoll konstruierter, kühner und kompromissloser Psycho-Thriller, der beinahe alle Stilmittel einsetzt, die am Kino faszinieren. Chan-wook Park schlägt narrative Haken und dreht visuelle Pirouetten, geschickt pendelt er zwischen Derbheit und Eleganz, zügellosem Schrecken und hypnotischer Schönheit.

Bei der NZ gibt es eine Kritik...
[...] die Handlung entwickelt sich keinesfalls zum ausbalancierten Gut-Böse-Spiel nach klaren Regeln. Der Film wird vielmehr zum Drama seiner leidenden Figuren, bei dem die Grenzen in der zunehmend komplexen Handlung bis zum absolut unberechenbaren Showdown verschwimmen.
Ein Genrefilm, der nicht den Rachegesetzen des Genres gehorchen will und dabei zu einer sehenswerten Zumutung wird. Ein Schlag vor den Kopf, den man erträgt, weil man so explosives und vor Intensität geradezu die Leinwand sprengendes Kino nur selten sieht.

Bei artechock gibt es eine Kritik...
[...] OLD BOY ist eine Rachegeschichte, eine Art koreanische Version von KILL BILL. Obwohl hier weitaus weniger Menschen sterben, schockiert der Film manchen durch seine Brutalität. Denn wo Tarantino alles ästhetisiert, zeigt Park einfach die Dinge, wie sie sind: Zähne werden im Dutzend gezogen, und zwar ohne Narkose. Zur Prügelei nimmt der Titelheld gleich einen Hammer, auch Messer, Bretter und anderes kommen zum Einsatz, wenn er sich mit Dutzenden von Schlägern auseinandersetzt. Auch Tiere kommen zu Schaden: Ein Tintenfisch wird bei lebendigem Leib verspeist, poetisch ringeln sich die Fangarme der sterbenen Viechs noch um Mund und Nase.
[...] ein schöner Film, voller Poesie, brilliant geschnitten, mit nahezu perfektem Gleichklang von Bildern und Musik. [...]

Universal Pictures has acquired remake rights to psychological thriller Old Boy from Cinemark Asia. A writer is expected to be brought onto the project soon.
The original film, directed by Park Chan-wook, follows a man who has been kidnapped by unknown captors and held in a room for 15 years. On the anniversary of his capture, he is put to sleep and wakes up in the middle of a city. The plot centers on his search to find out who kidnapped him and why.
The film was released in South Korea to critical acclaim and box office success in November.

AICN meldet...
[...] The working title of Park's next film so far is 'Old Boy', apparently based on the Japanese manga of the same title. The plot works as so. A healthy twenty year old male is kidnapped and imprisoned in a small room by gangsters hired by an unknown client. The duration spent in the room goes on until the deal expires, which happens to be 10 years. The man has no idea who the client is, nor does he know the reason behind his imprisonment. Upon being released, the unleashed man begins his hunt for the client responsible for his lost ten years.
Casting for the young man has already been decided. Actor Min-Shik Choi, who most recently starred in Strokes of Fire, [ the film responsible for director Kwon-Taek Im's Cannes Best Director Award ] is set to star as the young man. Choi is one of the most respected and loved actors working today, and has starred in some of the most influential Korean pictures in the last ten years, including No. 3, The Quiet Family, and the record-setting Swiri, all three which he incidentially co-starred with Sympathy leading man, Kang-Ho Song. "Sympathy for Mister Vengeance has a low temperature to it while Old Boy's will be high. That's why I've opted for hot blooded Choi rather than cold blooded Song." [...]
