Spike Lee to direct 'Old Boy' remake

It's been a while since we last heard anything about the "Old Boy" remake Steven Spielberg and Will Smith were supposed to be involved with, but word is the project is back on track with Spike Lee possibly in talks to direct the film. Pretty cool, huh?

Twitch says Lee is indeed considering the Hollywood version of the fantastic Park Chan-Wook movie, about a man who after being imprisoned for years, hunts down those responsible for locking him up in the first place. Mark Protosevich is writing the script.

No word yet on whether Will Smith will be involved with the remake. Although I would have loved to see Spielberg taking the lead on this one, I admit Spike Lee would indeed a very intriguing choice. Lee recently helmed "Miracle at St. Anna."

Jackie Robinson biopic in the works

Baseball fans, get ready, because Legendary Pictures has announced it's developing a film about Jackie Robinson, the first African American Major League Baseball player. Brian Hegeland ("The Order," "A Knight's Tale") is set to direct and former Walt Disney Studios Chair Dick Cook will be the executive producer.

This is not the first time someone has tried to bring Robinson's story to cinemas. In fact, Spike Lee once tried to direct a film about the baseball star with Denzel Washington as the lead. Robert Redford has been trying to breathe life into this story for many years as well. Only time will tell if Legendary Pictures can finally make it happen. (Via Deadline)

'Inside Man' sequel details

The Hollywood Reporter says Universal is currently working on the sequel to Spike Lee's 2006 hit "Inside Man." Terry George, director of "Hotel Rwanda,"is apparently in negotiations to write the screenplay. 

Specific details about the follow-up's plot are unknown at this point, but the story will not pick up immediately after the first film. Denzel Washington and Clive Owen seem interested to reprise their roles, Lee said. The director will return behind the camera, with Brian Grazer back as producer. 

Lee's "Miracle at St. Anna" is scheduled to open Sept.26, 2008.
