As I sit here still cringing over the idea of Steve Spielberg and Will Smith commercializing the incredible Oldboy, Smith is already running around Hollywood looking for someone to pen the remake. According to THR, Mark Protosevich – who wrote the first draft of I AM LEGEND – is in talks to write the film where a man gets kidnapped and held in a shabby cell for 15 years without explanation. Suddenly, he’s released and given money, a cell phone and clothes and is set on a path to discover who destroyed his life so he can take revenge. Has anyone else accepted this news yet? I’m still trying to force it down.
