See, I don't think they do. In his old age, Speilberg is getting sentimental, so we end up with interesting and rather gruesome adaptations of War of the Worlds, where *spoilers* the kid ends up surviving, even though the majority of humanity didn't. Stevie needs to stop with the sappy endings already.

Sadly this is one of the more sensible comments here.

Read the article. It’s not a remake.

It’s not an adaptation of a cult classic Korean film. It’s an adaptation of the graphic novel. So far the story presented in the graphic novel, has not yet been told in a pure form. So it could very easily be truer to the manga’s intent. Than the Korean cult classic. I have faith in Stephen Spielberg, and am looking forward to this movie.

It will work because it's based on a popular manga, and it will adhere more strictly to the manga concepts unlike the Korean film, which added very vulgar elements. You can be sure it won't have a tongue being cut out, because that wasn't in the manga, but that's not toning down the movie, it's just not making it more grotesque than the story (of the manga) was ever originally intended to be. That's not castration. That's restoration. No?

They're not keeping anything from the movie. They're not even necessarily looking at the movie. It was a manga first.

This is going to be horrible, I despair that when someone thinks of ‘Oldboy’ that this westernised film will be at the forefront of their mind instead of the Korean classic – the Korean movie is dark, twisted, beautiful, heartwrenching and part of it’s atmosphere is the due to it being an eastern movie, with an eastern premise and feel about it – it just will NOT work adapted through Western cinema. I really don’t think Will Smith can pull off this character, he plays good guys, or guys that are a bit bad but turn out good in the end – I doubt he has the capacity to pull off the tempestuous character of Oh-Dae-Su with his thirst for revenge, his teetering on the edge of madness – Spielberg will butcher the character, it’s practically a guarentee, he’ll bend it to fit Will Smith’s normal type-cast.

Why does Hollywood have to ruin these cult classics.

There’s no reason to beat around the bush. Steven Spielberg and Will Smith are attempting to remake Old Boy. This is an outrage.

Oldboy is a masterpiece.

Remade it is a bullshit. Is a sin.

Hollywood is really poor of ideas…

i saw the original film and i absolutely love it… if i am to watch its credibility with my fellow Americans, who refuse to watch a subtitle movie out of pure laziness (yes they do exist), be washed away by the man who raped his once great films and the star of such things like: the fresh prince, hancock, i am legend, men in black… all works i hate with a fiery passion. i expect to be compensated for their guaranteed destruction of this film in the form of their public execution.
