Four Unused Posters for Spike Lee’s ‘Oldboy’ Remake Starring Josh Brolin
Four great unused posters or “key art explorations” for Spike Lee’s Oldboy have been released online. A remake of Chan-wook Park’s revenge thriller of the same name, Josh Brolin stars as an ad exec who is kidnapped and held hostage for 20 years in solitary confinement. When he is inexplicably released, he embarks on an obsessive mission to discover who orchestrated his punishment, only to find he is still trapped in a web of conspiracy and torment. Elizabeth Olsen, Samuel L. Jackson, & Sharlto Copley also star. The film opens on October 25th. Design by artist Juan Luis Garcia (via Rope of Silicon).
Oldboy follows the story of an advertising executive (Josh Brolin) who is kidnapped and held hostage for 20 years in solitary confinement without any indication of his captor’s motive. When he is inexplicably released, he embarks on an obsessive mission to discover who orchestrated his bizarre and torturous punishment only to find he is still trapped in a web of conspiracy and torment. His quest for revenge leads him into an ill-fated relationship with a young social worker (Elizabeth Olsen) and ultimately to an illusive man (Sharlto Copley) who allegedly holds the key to his salvation.
I like them all but the first one is definitely my favourite. Check them out below:
