Brolin Is Oldboy

He was previously rumoured but now it's official, Academy Award-nominee Josh Brolin is starring in the remake of  Chan-wook Park's 2003 cult classic "Old Boy" says Deadline.

Mark Protosevich wrote the adapted screenplay from which Spike Lee is calling action.

The story centers on a man kidnapped and held for 15 years in solitary confinement without explanation. He is eventually released and sets out on a path of revenge.

Shooting on the remake is now scheduled to kick off in March once Brolin wraps Ruben Fleischer's The Gangster Squad and before he does Jason Reitman’s "Labor Day" in June. 

Doug Davison and Roy Lee will be producing.
