"Oldboy" Japanese Theatrical Poster
According to TTB, visionary director Park Chan-wook (Old Boy, Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance) is attached to direct a film adaptation of Project Itoh‘s (Metal Gear Solid: Guns of the Patriots) science fiction novel, Genocidal Organ.
Here’s what you can expect from the plot (via Amazon):
The war on terror exploded, literally, the day Sarajevo was destroyed by a homemade nuclear device. The leading democracies transformed into total surveillance states, and the developing world has drowned under a wave of genocides. The mysterious American John Paul seems to be behind the collapse of the world system, and it’s up to intelligence agent Clavis Shepherd to track John Paul across the wreckage of civilizations, and to find the true heart of darkness—a genocidal organ.
We’ll keep you updated on Genocidal Organ as we hear more. Until then, Park Chan-wook is currently putting finishing touches on his forthcoming film, The Handmaid. Stay tuned!
