'Oldboy' Trailer...Better Than I Hoped

With the weird poster yesterday and the fact that Spike Lee directs I wasn't keen on this remake. (I didn't know what to make of Josh Brolin in this role, either. Just didn't click somehow). However, you'd never guess Lee directed this film and Brolin is totally dialed-in.

Camera/framing, editing, choice of color palette, all look excellent. Lots of forward motion. Good trailer.

Poster for Spike Lee's take on 'Oldboy' doesn't inspire. It's good, no doubt about that, however I'm not sure what this look has to do with this type story. It's odd in the wrong way. And, Spike Lee? Is he right for this? I wondered about him directing as soon as the announcement was made but this freaky poster only makes me wonder more.

Granted, it's too soon to tell. I do like the title design and this detail, though.
