SMITH IN TALKS TO REMAKE CONTROVERSIAL MOVIE
WILL SMITH is in talks to remake a controversial Korean movie that was linked to a U.S. university massacre.
Oldboy, released in 2003, follows a man’s violent quest for revenge after he was shamed at high school.
South Korean-born Seung-Hui Cho’s murder of 32 students at Virginia Tech in 2007 was linked back to the film, after a photograph was found of him recreating a pose from a poster promoting it.
DreamWorks and Universal secured the rights to remake the movie earlier this year (08), and Smith has confirmed he is interested in recreating the film although rumours Steven Spielberg will direct have been denied.
