Lionsgate Television backs Park Chan-Wook’s bold vision for Oldboy series.
“Lionsgate Television shares my creative vision for bringing Oldboy into the world of television,” Park said.
“I look forward to working with a studio whose brand stands for bold, original and risk-taking storytelling.
Upon his sudden release, he must uncover the reasons behind his captivity within five days.
Currently, there are no streaming options available for the movie in the West.
Should the series move forward, it would not be the first English-language adaptation of Oldboy.
An American version directed by Spike Lee and starring Josh Brolin was released in 2013.
Park has previously worked on projects including The Handmaiden, Snowpiercer, and HBO’s limited series The Sympathizer.
