Oldboy is going to be one of the most polarizing films of the year when it’s released to theaters this November. Fans of the original Oldboy have been up in arms over the first trailer that released back in July. As I so eloquently put it, Spike Lee’s American remake is practically a shot-for-shot re-envisioning; despite how amazing the Korean version was, when you’re adapting a film for American audiences, you can’t simply just re-tell the exact same story with the exact same shots. However, audiences that haven’t seen or aren’t familiar with Park Chan-wook’s version were amazed by the latest trailer, and with good reason: Despite Spike’s attempts at simply glazing over the Korean version with American shine, Oldboy, at its root, is an amazing revenge film.

Recently, a new behind the scenes featurette for the film was released that not only shared some mini-interviews with Samuel L. Jackson, Elizabeth Olsen, Josh Brolin, and Spike Lee, but also showed some new footage from the film. And, once again, based off of the new scenes shown, it looks like Spike isn’t attempting to distance himself from the Korean version as much as he should. Sure, he attempts to reason this by attempting to claim his film is closer in line to the Oldboy manga and not the Korean film.

Reasonable excuse? Sure. However, it’s just not working for me, Spike. I’ll watch your version of Oldboy; I’ll probably even enjoy it. Will I be happy with it or myself? Probably not.
