FilmDistrict sent over several new (and some old) pictures from Spike Lee‘s Oldboy including the above look at Samuel L. Jackson and his bleached mohawk in the new film along with a brief video in which Lee talks about working with Jackson for the first time since 1991’s Jungle Fever.
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.
The film hits theaters on November 27 and has so far avoided any of the fall festivals though it isn’t out of the realm of possibility it shows up at Fantastic Fest at the end of September.
Check out the video below and I’ve included all 11 additional pictures that were sent over below and on the second page. Like I said, some you’ve seen, some maybe not.
