Film District has just annouced a new release date for their Spike Lee directed remake, Oldboy. The film, which stars Josh Brolin as an advertising executive who was kidnapped and held hostage for 20 years in solitary confinement before being released, was originally scheduled to hit theaters on October 25th. Now, thanks to a rather crowded weekend, the studio has opted to hold the film's release until November 27th.
Oldboy, which is a remake of a 2003 South Korean film by the same name, co-stars Elizabeth Olsen and Sharlto Copley and is directed from a script by Mark Protosevich.
About Stephen Davis
I owe this hobby/career to the one and only Stephanie Peterman who, while interning at Fox, told me that I had too many opinions and irrelevant information to keep it all bottled up inside. I survived my first rated R film, Alive, at the ripe age of 8, it took me months to grasp the fact that Julia Roberts actually died at the end of Steel Magnolias, and I might be the only person alive who actually enjoyed Sorority Row…for its comedic value of course. While my friends can drink you under the table, I can outwatch you when it comes iconic, yet horrid 80s films like Adventures in Babysitting and Troop Beverly Hills. I have no shame when it comes to what I like, and if you have a problem with that, then we’ll settle it on the racquetball court. I see too many movies to actually win any film trivia contest, so don’t waste your first pick on me. My friends rent movies from my bookcase shelves, and one day I do plan to start charging. I long to live in LA, where my movie obsession will actually help me fit in, but for now I am content with my home in Austin. I prefer indies to blockbusters, Longhorns to Sooners and Halloween to Friday the 13th. I miss the classics, as well as John Ritter, and I hope to one day sit down and interview the amazing Kate Winslet.
