Spike Lee could be directing the Oldboy remake

*Spike Lee has entered talks to direct the American remake of Park
Chan-Wook’s iconic _Oldboy_.*

According to _Twitch Film_, the _Malcolm X_ director is currently in
negotiations to make the film, which has long been twiddling its
thumbs in pre-production.

The original film follows a man who’s kidnapped and locked in a
room for 15 years, only to be released into a minefield of mind games.

Previously, Steven Spielberg and Will Smith were attached to the
remake in 2008. In light of Lee’s negotiations, it’s
unclear if either of them are still attached in any capacity.

The script for Hollywood's _Oldboy_ has been written by _Thor_’s
Mark Protosevich, and the film will be produced by Doug Davison and
Roy Lee.

Spike Lee is far from a journeyman remake director, and it’ll be
interesting to see if he actually signs on to the reboot. If he does,
this remake could end up being something quite special.
