Get Revenge With The Redband Trailer For Spike Lee’s ‘OLDBOY’

Way back in 2003 a small Korean film called “Oldboy” was released upon the world. Based on a Japanese Manga, it follows the tale of a man who is imprisoned in a room for over a decade without knowing why or who had captured him. Upon his release he goes on the hunt for the person responsible. Called one of the greatest “revenge” films of all time, Oldboy is a legend.

Well now we have ourselves the trailer for the US remake! The remake has been in the works since 2009, with numerous directors and studios on board at different points. Even a nice little lawsuit over the rights! Well now that everything is settled and the film is in the can, Spike Lee has given us what appears to be a faithful recreation of the Korean classic. Here is the official redband trailer.

This trailer got me so incredibly excited I hurt myself. It feels as if they captured the feel of the original film almost perfectly. And did we get a peak of the infamous hammer fight scene? I think we did!

The film is set to release this October 25th and it stars Josh Brolin, Elizabeth Olsen and Sharlto Copley.
