Word came earlier this month that Steven Spielberg and Will Smith were going to collaborate on a remake of Oldboy, a classic Asian film. However, Will Smith has refuted the news story, noting that their new project will actually be an adaptation of the comics by Garon Tsuchiya and Nobuaki Minegishi.

Said 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…"

They are currently looking for a writer to begin the development process.
