Will Smith may finally get his chance in doing a film with Steven Spielberg. Smith and Spielberg never did a movie together. Universal Studios is in negotiations with Steven Spielberg to direct and Will Smith to star the lead in the remake of “Oldboy” which Dreamworks is in the process of securing the remake rights.

“Oldboy” is a 2003 Korean film which is about a man who gets kidnapped and gets held in a shabby cell for 15 years without explanation. Suddenly, he is released, been given money, clothes, and a cell phone, and vows to get revenge on whoever destroyed his life.

Spielberg had always wanted to make a film with Will Smith and the opportunity may actually happen.

I’ve always wanted to see Spielberg and Smith work together too. This is going to be cool. Looking forward to it.
