First Official Poster For Spike Lee’s "Oldboy"

FilmDistrict has officially released the first poster for Spike Lee's remake of Oldboy along with news the red band trailer will be released this Wednesday, July 10. The studio was explicit in noting the above poster is "a shot from the film (instead of a composed comp) and is a nod to the trailer." 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. Oldboy hits theaters on October 25. (ropeofsilicon)
