DreamWorks is currently working to secure the remake rights to Chan-wook Park’s 2003 film Oldboy. Steven Spielberg and Will Smith are in early discussions to collaborate on the remake, with Smith potentially starring and Spielberg potentially directing. They’re currently searching for a screenwriter to begin developing the project while Spielberg finishes directing Tintin.

Oldboy centres on a man’s mysterious kidnapping, 15-year imprisonment and feverish quest for revenge upon being released.
