Despite Japanese publisher's case vs. Korean studio, Director Spielberg and actor Will Smith are still moving forward with Dreamworks' plans to remake Park Can-Wook's manga-based Oldboy film. The lawsuit is between the film's Korean studio, Show East, and the manga's Japanese publisher, Futabasha and is over the Hollywood remake rights.

Reuters reports that Show East and it's production partner Big Egg (who comes up with these names?) have both shut down. CEO of Show East, Kim Dong-Ju, has reportedly "disappeared" and Big Egg's former staffers are also unreachable. A spokesperson for Futabasha acknowledged that the publisher cannot confirm if Show East is bankrupt or how that status will affect the lawsuit.
