oldboy directing by spike lee... leaked info

[Auger]

This movie is going to suck

The Whole Incest Plot is what made the movie

Now they want to take the shock of what made the movie so great

A good movie shouldn't have to rely on a single shock element of surprise.

Part of the reason why the original is not all that great to begin with, so I'm scratching my head at a remake.

Your logic may apply to movies in General, but as it pertains to 'Old Boy' you're way off

 

[DaylitoJames]

Why are they calling this "Oldboy" cause it sounds like a different movie, leave the remakes alone Hollywood.

What makes the original a classic to you? I'd value your opinion.

I kind of saw the twist coming, so I was entertainec until that brcame the fpcus of the movie. At least Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance didn't have the same buildup.

 

[ExodusNirvana]

This won't flop cause of Spike and Will but it sounds really stupid.

I'll be glad to pirate it.

I dunno when you seen the movie but there was no "build up" for me. I seen it around the time it came out in the U.S., fairly close to it's original release around '03. So there was very little hype surrounding it unless you were hardcore into info on foreign movies.

It wasn't like I went into it expecting a twist. I heard it was great, and was impressed by the direction, cinematography and acting. The twist was just some extra shyt. Take out the twist and you still have classic cinema like the hammer scene, the hallway fight, the editing when he's locked up, the octopus scene, etc. With the twist it's on another level.

"Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance" was aight. "Oldboy" and "Lady Vengeance" are his best movies. "Thirst" was aight too. That cyborg movie was trash.

If you like these kinds of movies "I Saw The Devil" is another classic.

yep all of my anticipation is gone now that they've removed the incest plot. and the soundtrack featuring lil wayne

Their basing this movie off the original Manga which DID NOT include the incest plotline...

The manga didn't include half the shyt they're talking about so that's a cop out. They didn't include the incest shyt because they're shook it would kill the movie.

"Sympathy For Mr. Vengeance" was my favorite then "Oldboy", and "Lady Vengeance" last but all of them I liked. "Thirst" is one of my favorite vampire flicks and I agree the Cyborg movie was dumpster status. Couldn't sit through it...

I agree with a lot of what you said going on for this movie but as for removing the incest plot I'm not gonna criticize Spike Lee for that since the Korean version was based on a Japanese manga which had nothing to do with incest. That was the version Will Smith and Steven Spielberg were going to adapt I think and then it got scrapped.

Now that I've read the OP the movie has no surprises for real. I don't feel like watching and it does sound like an atrocious film in the making but I won't swear it off till I see a trailer.

 

[x2y]

This is going to be trash.

 

[Young Bishop]

I'm wait before I can make a real opinion on this!

 

[courtdog]

SMH @ you clowns saying "What, no incest? NO THANK YOU!!!

The movie "could" still be good w/out Incest. Even if that angle does touch home with you anally abused fakkits
