At the premiere of his movie SEVEN POUNDS, Will Smith explained that the Oldboy he’s working on with Steven Spielberg isn’t a remake. “We’re looking at that right now,” he tells Film School Rejects. “Not the film though, it’s the original source material. There’s the original comics of `Oldboy’ that they made the first film from. And that’s what we’re working from, not an adaptation of the film…” I’m sorry, does it make a difference? The problem isn’t that they’re remaking a masterpiece, it’s that Will Smith and Steven Spielberg are remaking a masterpiece. I can’t wait to see the PG-13 version of this story….
