It appears there is more progress being made in Spike Lee’s redo of Oldboy. Deadline is reporting that Josh Brolin has been attached to the film as the lead.
There’s a film version which people initially thought this would be based on. I didn’t even know there was a manga version. One hopes that the name will get changed, however. I don’t think I need to explain the implications of a black man appearing in a film with ‘boy’ in the title.
