Whether or not you’re excited about the remake of Oldboy, you have to admit the first official poster is eye-catching. The logo is in Josh Brolin’s own handwriting and is, according to the press release accompanying the poster, “inspired by the letters his character writes to his daughter through the film while locked up.”
Film District’s set to open Oldboy, directed by Spike Lee, in theaters on October 25, 2013. In addition to Brolin, the cast includes Elizabeth Olsen and Sharlto Copley.
The Plot:
Oldboy is a provocative, visceral thriller that follows the story of an advertising executive (Josh Brolin) who is abruptly kidnapped and held hostage for 20 years in solitary confinement. When he is inexplicably released, he embarks on an obsessive mission to discover who orchestrated his bizarre and torturous punishment, only to find he is still trapped in a web of conspiracy and torment.
