Josh Brolin on the set of his new film Oldboy on Monday (October 8) in New Orleans, La.

The 44-year-old actor plays an everyday man who has only five days and limited resources to discover why he was imprisoned in a nondescript room for 15 years without any explanation.

The Spike Lee-directed film also stars Elizabeth Olsen and Samuel L. Jackson and is expected to be released sometime in 2013.

Wow, It's based on a S. Korean film of the same name directed by Chan-wook Park, which you can watch on netflix.

Curious if the ending is going to be as twisted / dark as the original.

Of course it wont. This is going to be a horrible film. You shouldn't remake a great movie like OldBoy, especially so soon. It's just wrong.

Why not? The twist itself isn't that dark for Hollywood.

And it's not like there was a lot of the sex shown in the original too so Hollywood doesn't even need to be worried about that part either.

Not dark?

The father learns that he ****ed his daughter. The daughter is being held captive, with the evidence of their incest just in arms reach. The father, not wanting to harm the innocence of the daughter, cuts his tongue out, then has himself hypnotised so that he wont even know it's his daughter, and continues to live with her as a lover......

Not only that, but the raw emotion in that scene is just as epic as it can get. You get to see this guy, who went from being a drunk to being a bad ass, just grovel at the feet of the man he wanted vengence on. You see him twist in pain and emotional agony, and the roller coaster of highs and lows.

Honestly, I haven't seen an American movie that has put that kind of feeling in me. Choi Min-Sik is one of the best actors of this time. All the movies he acts in, are just excellent.

We had a Bollywood (Hindi) remake of the same a few years back, the story was nearly word to word of the original barring the incest angle (Indian audiences couldn't gulp that down).

The Indian film insipte of being a copy of such an iconic Korean film was not half as good as the original.

The Indian film had some kick ass music though!

That remake is what makes me fear any others. It even had a matrix "blue" hue through out the entire movie. And the scenes at the end were just horrible. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :p

using the same title is a bad idea because of the familiarity & comparisons with the original. plus spike lee directing this type of movie will be interesting. I'm not a fan of remakes done by hollywood e.g.godzilla, the departed, the grudge and other asian horror films come to mind.

I agree, they should have come up with their own title.

Also, you didn't like The Departed? I thought it was a very fine film, and a great interpitation of the original tale.

Well it was a good movie, the thing was I already saw the original and knew what was going to happen. It just wasn't the same. =/

    • You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG

      I was using searxng for about a year , self hosted, but results were starting to timeout and eventually it became unusable so I switched to degoog. Much better for my needs, more polished and add-ons like maps and calculations etc

    • Laptop Processor Question

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, I am not as familiar with AMD CPUs as I am with Intel's, but as I understand it, that's a mid-range CPU from about three years ago.  I would think it to be fine for everyday casual-type use.  A larger SSD might be better, but with storage prices these days that's a decision that has to be carefully thought about. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.5

      By Copernic · Posted

      Ocenaudio 3.19.5 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.5 changelog: Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows (DirectSound and ASIO) Fixes several crashes and memory corruption issues Fixes opening several headerless files at once, which previously dropped all but one Improves batch export by suggesting and remembering the destination folder Fixes accented and non-Latin characters in VST plug-in and compressed-archive file names Adds zstd compression support and updates the archive library Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
