Oldboy, Spike Lee's long-gestating remake of the Korean
thriller, has finally bagged its villain, with District 9's Sharlto Copley
signing on as billionaire Adrian Pryce.

Finally having the two principles (Josh Brolin being the
protagonist) in place, Lee will be hoping that production can now begin to pick
up pace.
The film will follow Brolin's character, Joe Douchett ,as he
attempts to piece his life together after being suddenly released from 15 years
of captivity. Having been kidnapped and locked in a hotel room for years on
end, Douchett is understandably pissed off, and sets about attempting to piece
together what has happened to him.
However, as anyone who has seen the superlative original
will know, the quest for knowledge doesn't always lead the seeker down a road
they want to go. Indeed, producer Roy Lee has suggested that the new ending
will be even more extreme this time around.
"The ending will be something that the audiences will
all be … especially the fans of the original, will be very happy with,"
says Lee. "In fact, some may consider it to be a bit darker."
Elizabeth Olsen is still rumoured to be attached as a
caseworker who meets Douchette as his life unravels around him, and sets about
helping him to unravel the mystery.
