Release Date Change for Spike Lee’s Oldboy

Spike Lee's remake of Oldboy was set for release on October 11th, but the date has been changed and we'll have to wait a little bit longer to see it. FilmDistrict has moved the release back to October 25th, putting the movie up against Paranormal Activity 5. No reason for the change was given, but it's possible that they wanted to move it further away from Sin City 2, which opens the week before.

"OLDBOY is a provocative, visceral thriller that follows the story of an advertising executive (Josh Brolin) who is abruptly 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 bizarre and torturous punishment only to find he is still trapped in a web of conspiracy and torment.

Co-starring Elizabeth Olsen and Sharlto Copley, OLDBOY was directed by Spike Lee, from a script by Mark Protosevich (I Am Legend, The Cell, Thor). The film was produced by Roy Lee, Doug Davison and Nathan Kahane."
