"District 9" Star in Talks for "Oldboy" Villain Role
Posted: April 12th, 2012 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
Somewhere between attending Knicks games and threatening the lives of innocent people, Spike Lee will direct a remake of "Oldboy," which currently has Josh Brolin and Elizabeth Olsen on board to play the male and female leads.
The villain role has been offered to Christian Bale (The Dark Knight) and Colin Firth (The King's Speech), but both actors passed. And now comes word that "District 9" star Sharlto Copley is in early talks to play the villain.
If the deal works out, Copley will co-star as a mysterious billionaire out to destroy the life of Brolin's character, who is kidnapped and imprisoned for 15 years for unknown reasons, only to be inexplicably released and begin his search for answers. Olsen will play a caseworker who helps him investigate the past.

@ bandolero999:
Well I really liked him in Spiderman 2 & 3, maybe Bardem, Fiennes or Butler, like I said before I really don't care who is cast, but not Murdoch he is too smoochy and funny, put somebody else.... In your case, with whom you should fill the role? Anyone in mind?

Agree with above statements. I love Copley, but he's too funny for this. Sure, he showed in 'District 9' that he can do serious too, but a villain he's not. Although, since this movie will suck regardless, it could be fun watching him flexing his acting chops.
Olsen can help investigate my pants
Anyone u mentioned except Franco.his best role is a white suburbian drug dealer.
