No official reason was given regarding the delay. Originally slated to bow on October 25th, it will now open wide against Disney's "Frozen," "Black Nativity" and the Jason Statham film "Homefront" among the Thanksgiving holiday weekend's wide releases.
The older film centered 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.
Josh Brolin has been cast in the lead. Elizabeth Olsen will play the part of the caseworker Marie who helps investigate the past of Brolin's character. "District 9" star Sharlto Copley will play the villain in the remake. Samuel L. Jackson is expected to take on a small but key role as the head of the motel where Brolin's character has been held hostage. James Ransone ("The Wire," "Inside Man") will play a doctor who works with Olsen's character
Mark Protosevich wrote the adapted screenplay from which Spike Lee called action.
