Lionsgate Television is teaming with Park Chan-wook to develop an English-language TV adaptation of Park's iconic film "Oldboy."

Park directed and co-wrote the original film, which was itself loosely based on the Japanese manga of the same name. Originally released in 2003, “Oldboy” tells the story of a man who is kidnapped and held prisoner in a sealed hotel room for 15 years. “This series adaptation of ‘Oldboy’ will feature the raw emotional power, iconic fight scenes and visceral style that made the film a classic.”
