Oldboy will (in all likelihood) get an American remake by Spielberg, with Will Smith in the lead.

I can only hope they get someone like Martin Brest on the screenplay, just to make sure it has that air of quality about it.

Have either of these people actually WATCHED the movie they want to do? I mean what was the last American mass release movie that had an incest angle? Flowers in the Attic?

ETA: Of course it reminds me that Bret Ratner plans on directing a new Conan movie (http://blog.newsarama.com/2008/11/08/ratner-chooses-conan-over-beverly-hills-cop/)...

Spielberg always does films one (UK) rating level too low for the subject matter, so yes, ideal choice! :)
