Unnecessary-Remake News of the Day: It’s official: Mandate Pictures released a statement today confirming that Spike Lee will indeed be directing the studio’s remake of Park Chan-wook’s critically acclaimed adaptation of Nobuaki Minegishi and Garon Tsuchiya’s manga series Old Boy.

“It’s a great honor to put this special project into the hands of such a gifted writer and iconic director,” Mandate President Nathan Kahane said in the statement.

A remake of the South Korean film has been in the works for a while, with various actors and directors — from Justin Lin to Steven Spielberg, and even Will Smith — attached at times.

Very unecessary, indeed.
