It seemed the general genre community was in agreement on one thing recently: The Steven Spielberg/Will Smith OLDBOY adaptation was absurd! Agreed? Agreed. Well it seems our prayers have been answered!

According to LatinoReview the project is officially dead! Whether it was because the insane backlash from fans isn’t really known but what we do know is that DreamWorks and Mandate could not reach an agreement on the material so DreamWorks have walked, taking Spielberg and Smith with them!

Well that came out of nowhere huh? But alas this is great news isn’t it?! Spielberg and Smith are two of the most talented guys working in the industry today… but they have no place anywhere near any sort of OLDBOY adaptation. I’m pretty sure even they’d understand that. So for now there is NO OLDBOY film on the way. Good news right? Enjoy it while it lasts because I’m sure this one will pop up again sometime soon…
