Still no villain with the start date rapidly approaching. They will have to take anyone with a pulse who accepts the role soon. Oh, that is happening now. Just cancel the doomed piece of shit NOW.
Variety reports that Sharlto Copley (District 9, The A-Team) has been offered the role of the villainous billionaire in Old Boy. If accepted, Copley would be taking a part that has had some pretty big names previously attached to it, including Clive Owen, Colin Firth and Christian Bale.
