The 'OLDBOY' Red Band Trailer Is Here!

"Ask not why you were imprisoned, ask why you were set free."

Courtesy of Yahoo! Movies, we have the highly anticipated first RED BAND trailer to Oldboy, Spike Lee's remake of Chan-wook Park's Oldeboi, the dark and disturbing (to say the least) Korean cult revenge film based on a Japanese manga series of the same name. Following the release of the poster on Monday, we now have our first sneak peek at the film which promises to be darker than its source material, which if you have seen the original, is one hell of a high bar to hit.

Lee’s remake, starring Josh Brolin, Elizabeth Olsen, Sharlto Copley and Samuel L. Jackson is set for an October 25th theatrical release.

Warning, this is the RED BAND trailer:

Official Synopsis:

"OLDBOY follows the story of an advertising executive (Josh Brolin) who is kidnapped and held hostage for 20 years in solitary confinement without any indication of his captor’s motive. 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. His quest for revenge leads him into an ill-fated relationship with a young social worker (Elizabeth Olsen) and ultimately to an illusive man (Sharlto Copley) who allegedly holds the key to his salvation."
