This would be a left field choice should Firth accept. We last saw him in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and before that giving his Oscar winning turn as The King Of England in The King's Speech. A role like that of Adrian, the twisted villain in the very violent Oldboy story, would certainly be a big departure. Anyway, it appears he is the man that Mandate Pictures want for the role.

At one point actor Colin Firth was attached to play a key role in Oldboy director Park Chan-wook's English language debut, Stoker. That didn't work out but now Firth may very well end up playing the villain role in Spike Lee's upcoming remake of Park's Oldboy.
Twitch has learned that an offer is out to Firth for the part of Adrian, which means that - should he accept - he will be stepping into the villain role opposite Josh Brolin.
