"I Am Legend" Writer to Pen "Old Boy" Remake

Posted: November 19th, 2008 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
I Am Legend Writer to Pen Old Boy RemakeSubmit Comment
"I Am Legend" co-writer Mark Protosevich is in early talks to pen the remake of "Old Boy," which will re-unite him with "Legend" star Will Smith. Steven Spielberg is also attached to the new movie.

DreamWorks secured the remake rights from Mandate Pictures, which also is staying involved in the project. Although the studio was meeting with several high-profile writers to do the adaptation, Smith invited Protosevich to meet with Spielberg on the project.

Mandate acquired the 2003 Korean film co-written and directed by Park Chan-wook from Universal, which picked up the rights in 2004 with Vertigo Entertainment (The Eye, The Grudge). The original film, which like much edgy Asian cinema includes some disturbing material, detailed a man's mysterious kidnapping, 15-year imprisonment and feverish quest for revenge upon being released.
