Oldboy Remake Film's Set Pictures Posted

The Just Jared entertainment news website has posted 20 images from the set of Spike Lee's remake of Chan-wook Park's live-action film Oldboy.

The images feature actor Josh Brolin (Milk, Men in Black 3), actress Elizabeth Olsen (Silent House, Martha Marcy May Marlene), and Lee.

The movie began filming this month, and it is slated for a release on October 11, 2013 in the United States.

Sharlto Copley (District 9, The A-Team), Samuel L. Jackson (Jungle Fever, Pulp Fiction, The Avengers), and James Ransone (Sinister, Inside Man, The Next Three Days) are also attached to this planned remake of Chan-wook Park's live-action film Oldboy, which is itself an adaptation of Garon Tsuchiya and Nobuaki Minegishi's manga.

The entertainment trade publication Variety earlier described the Korean film's story about "a man who's kidnapped and imprisoned for 15 years. When he's finally released and begins looking into the reason for his captivity, he soon finds out that his kidnapper has even more torturous plans for him." (The original manga has the protagonist imprisoned for a different number of years and does not have the Korean film's added plot twist ending.)

Thanks to Daniel Zelter for the news tip.
