Spike Lee to Direct ‘Oldboy’ Remake?

Fresh clucking fodder for fellow film geeks: Spike Lee is in talks to direct the remake of the South Korean, Kafka-esque, Greek tragedy-style (read: very fucked up) revenge tale Oldboy.

At least it’s not Spielberg

Since it’s part of the Vengeance Trilogy, it’s sequel-ready — that’s three chances to butcher Park Chan-Wook’s films worse than Dae-su pummels the henchmen in the hallway.

Mark Protosevich (Thor, I Am Legend) is set to write the script, so try to imagine this discomforting, familial intrigue [spoilers!] in 3D, I guess. Sigh…
