Danny Boyle and Sympathy for Lady Vengence

Wow. Park Chan-Wook is the man! First, there's been talk of Spielberg and Smith doing an Old Boy remake and now the word is out that Danny Boyle, director of award winning Slumdog Millionaire, has been approached to direct Sympathy for Lady Vengeance. What strikes me as a bit odd, is although both films are part of the Vengeance Trilogy, and none of them really share the same story line, why is it that only Old Boy and Lady Vengeance are getting the attention? What about Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance???

All three were incredibly disturbing and after all it IS a part of a TRILOGY. Doesn't seem right to do only two of the three. And truth be told, although I personally was more affected by the Old Boy film, after hearing that Boyle might direct Lady Vengeance I am way more excited than Spielberg/Smith doing Old Boy.

Either way, I'm excited that people are finally starting to appreciate the talent coming out of Korea!
