Spike Lee is in negotiations to direct a remake of 'Oldboy'.
The 54-year-old filmmaker - famed for his movies about race relations and the role of media in modern-day life - is in talks for a new version of the 2003 Korean project by Park Chan-wook, with Mark Protosevich writing The Script.

Doug Davidson and Roy Lee are set to produce the project, which would be Spike's first since 2010 documentary 'If Got Is Willing and Da Creek Don't Rise' about the Gulf of Mexico and the effects of Hurricane Katrina and the BP oil spill in the region.
