Old Boy Comic to be Adapted not Film!

Good news from movie land today as we get wind that Steven Spielberg will be adapting the comic book version of "Old Boy" and not the film.  Guys over at FilmSchoolRejects.com were on the red carpet for Will Smith's new film, Seven Pounds, and they asked the superstar about the new film.

FSR: So what is it an adaptation of?

Smith: We’re looking at that right now. Not the film though, it’s the original source material. There’s the original comics of ‘Oldboy’ that they made the first film from. And that’s what we’re working from, not an adaptation of the film…”

Well knowing that have decided to go that route I feel like the fan blast mail I get will subside until further notice.   Only thing that still has me confused about the whole thing is that if Spielberg optioned the source material how can it be that different from the Chan-Wook Park film if he obviously used the same material.  We shall see and don't worry as soon as we have something we will let u know!
