So Dream Works has bought the rights to a Korean movie called Old Boy and Will Smith is working to recreate it with Spielberg. Rumor has it that Mr Smith will also be starring in it.
Honestly I don't think America would take the film well and it could seriously hurt Mr Smith's career.
Plot Summery of Old Boy
"On the day of his daughter's birthday, Ho Dae-su (Min-sik Choi) gets completely drunk and is arrested. His best friend No Joo-hwan (Dae-han Ji) releases him from the police station, and while calling home from a phone booth, Dae-su vanishes. Indeed he has been abducted and imprisoned in a room for fifteen years. One day, he is suddenly released, receives clothes, money and a cellular and meets the Japanese chef Mido (Hye-jeong Kang), and they feel a great attraction for each other. However, Dae-su seeks for his captor and the reason of his long imprisonment. While looking for revenge, Dae-su discloses deep secrets from the past. "

Oh that's just the tip of the iceberg for the plot. He ends up sleeping with his daughter not knowing it's her. The rest? Well I do not want to totally ruin the movie for you but it is pretty heavy and wild.
Have you seen Old Boy?
What do you think of it being redone for America?
Do you guys think it will have to be rewritten a bit?
