The Official ‘Oldboy’ One-Sheet Has Been Set Free!
“Ask not why you were imprisoned. Ask why you were set free.”
FilmDistrict has premiere the first official theatrical one-sheet for Spike Lee’s Oldboy, starring Josh Brolin, Elizabeth Olsen, Sharlto Copley, Samuel Jackson, Bruce Hornsby, and James Ransone.
The poster takes an artistic direction, which I guess suggests Josh Brolin is released by means of a suitcase. Says the accompanying release, it also displays an actual shot from the film and not a composite – and they feel that it’s both modern and original – and certainly provocative.
A cool footnote to point out is that the Oldboy logo itself is Josh Brolin’s handwriting – inspired by the letters his character writes to his daughter through the film while locked up.
In theaters October 25, “Oldboy is a provocative, visceral thriller that follows the story of an advertising executive (Josh Brolin) who is abruptly kidnapped and held hostage for 20 years in solitary confinement. When he is inexplicably released, he embarks on an obsessive mission to discover who orchestrated his bizarre and torturous punishment only to find he is still trapped in a web of conspiracy and torment.”
I’ve personally actually heard some really good things behind the scenes – even though it’s going to be impossible to trump the Korean original, which is a true masterpiece.
The new trailer for epic survival thriller The Dog Stars warns to fear the survivors of the apocalypse.
Jacob Elordi (Frankenstein), Josh Brolin (Weapons), and Margaret Qualley (The Substance) try to maintain their humanity in the intense new trailer for Ridley Scott‘s survival thriller, releasing in theaters on August 28, 2026.
The film is “set in a world where survival is instinct, but humanity is a choice.
“Ridley Scott tells the story of Hig, a young pilot who, together with a military survivalist, Bangley, has carved out an efficient but isolated homestead in a brutal post-apocalyptic world until a mysterious radio transmission spurs Hig to venture into the unknown in search of the hope and humanity he still believes exists.”
Guy Pearce, Benedict Wong, and Allison Janney also star.
The film is based on Peter Heller’s bestselling novel and written by Mark L. Smith (Overlord, The Revenant) and produced by Ridley Scott, Michael Pruss, Mark L. Smith, and Cliff Roberts.
Check out the new trailer and poster below, which emphasize the thrills in the upcoming survival thriller. But it’s one that’s also filled with hope.
“I think people will be surprised and engaged, actually. I would say, hmm… charmed as well,” Scott says of the film. “Although, there is some violence.”
