Charlize Thereon has revealed she is in talks to star in an American remake of Park Chan Wook's Korean thriller, Sympathy for Lady Vengeance.
The original tells of a woman who is incarcerated for 13 years for a murder she didnt commit, before being released and setting off on a path of revenge against those that wronged her.
It appears that the director is involved in the remake to some extent, with Theron quoted as saying "he came to me and said he really wanted us to do this. He wanted to see that story told in an American society."
With the Oldboy remake seemingly dead in the water, this appears to be the film most liekly to introduce a mainstream audience to Chan Wook's unique worldview, depending of course on how much survives the Hollywood studio system.
