Spike Lee’s remake of Korean cult film “Oldboy” is fast becoming one of the most interesting projects work it’s way into the festivals and fans psyche. At first it was a pessimistic moan that yet another Asian film was being “reworked” for American audiences. I for one have always preferred the original with subtitles but occasionally a western director manages to get it right-the “rework” for “Apartment 1303” sure didn’t! Anyway with more and more light being shed on Spike Lee’s vision of “Oldboy” interesting is really taking root with genre fans. The red band trailer and this haunting and reflectively cryptic banner displayed at Comic-Con have really raised my brow and peaked captivated my intrigue.
