A few weeks ago, rumors circulated that Steven Spielberg and Will Smith were planning a remake of the 2003 film Old Boy.
Meanwhile, the director and actor have confirmed that the film will not be a remake but an adaptation of the original manga by Garon Tsuchiya and Nobuaki Minegishi. According to current information, Mark Protosevich (The Cell, I am Legend) will write the screenplay.
The manga tells the story of a man named Shinichi Goto, who is kidnapped and locked in a windowless room. He must endure 10 years there with only a TV as his connection to the outside world. Intense physical training and meals delivered through a slot keep him alive. When he is finally released, he sets out to find his mysterious tormentor, which marks the true beginning of his ordeal.
