How the holy fuck
Is this remake going to work?
I don't understand.

Ew ew ew ew ew
ew ew ew ew ew ew ew

Seriously. Spike Lee's doing an American version starring Josh Brolin and Elizabeth Olsen, and there's a certain plot twist that's so dark and disturbing it left me wondering how the hell Lee's going to pull it off. Will he change it? Downplay it? The obvious, and preferable, answer is none of the above, because it works in the original Oldboy and is essential to, y'know, the plot of the entire movie.
But damn. I guess I'm just surprised that something so thoroughly messed up (this was my approximate reaction to THAT SCENE) would be getting the Hollywood treatment. Even if it is being directed by Spike Lee and not, I dunno, Michael Bay.
