Josh Brolin joins Oldboy remake

The movie is based on the 2004 movie by Park Chan-Wook, and is being adapted by Mark Protosevich, best known for his work on I Am Legend, who will also co-produce.

The Dark Knight Rises star Christian Bale is expected to play the leading villain.

Josh recently finished filming on Men in Black 3 with Will Smith, and will next shoot Gangster Squad alongside Sean Penn and Ryan Gosling.

Will was initially planned to star in a remake in 2008 with Steven Spielberg directing, but the project never got off the ground.

Oldboy will begin filming in March 2012.
