UPCOMING FILM -- Oldboy Trailer

This isn't necessarily a horror movie but I'm passionate about this!
Check out the trailer for the remake of Oldboy, of course it doesn't look horrible. My issue simply is why remake such a masterpiece? To avoid spoilers, I'll just say, those who haven't seen this movie just know that it has such an insanely STRONG story line that it's hard to remake something like it. More importantly, why even try? Can't you just like the movie and watch it everyday without ruining it for everyone else? Huh, Mr. Spike Lee?




Anyhow, the release date has been changed from the October 11th, 2013 to October 25th, 2013! So, who's going to check it out?
SYNOPSIS: Oldboy tells the story of a man who is kidnapped and imprisoned on his daughter’s birthday. For fifteen years, he is held captive, and, upon his release, must begin his journey to find the reason for his imprisonment. He soon finds out that his kidnapper has plans for him more tortuous than his solitary confinement.

UPCOMING FILM -- Oldboy REMAKE

This isn't necessarily a horror movie buuuuut I had to talk about this! I think Spike Lee is a pretty cool director...at times but this is getting ridiculous! Yes, it's ridiculous because he hopped on the remake train but he's not remaking just any movie! To avoid spoilers, I'll just say, those who haven't seen this movie just know that it has such an insanely STRONG story line that it's hard to remake something like it. More importantly, why even try? Can't you just like the movie and watch it everyday without ruining it for everyone else?

It's also ridiculous because how is it "A Spike Lee joint"? Someone give me a valid reason on how it is because it's not. It's not his. Simple. He just decided to remake it.

Anyhow, it's going to hit the theaters on October 11th, 2013.
