After speculation for years after the sequel coming out in 2005, Paramount has finally confirmed the remake of the Asian sensation Ringu 3 otherwise known as The Ring over in America. The Ring 3, finally being confirmed after 7 years of negation is said to be focused more on teens rather than a mother and her child as the other two films. It will most likely be a sequel rather than a prequel according to Paramount. The Ring was actually one of the first horror movies I watched back in 2002 where the first was released.
Naomi Watts, the star of the previous two films will most likely not be involved with the project because it will now be about teens. It is not known who will play Samara, the evil little girl in the tape as the original actress, Daveigh Chase, is now in her mid 20's so new casting will be needed.
Speculation on how to come about it though are worrying fans of the franchise. It's obvious that VHS tapes are not used in today's society so it will be interesting to see how they come about it. I'm thinking, maybe someone transformed it into a DVD file.
Already teasers have been spread on the internet as you can see. I for one will be seeing it. What a great move made by paramount.
In other news, Scream 5 is "up to Bob Weinstein" say Wes Craven, the popular horror director.
"Well no one has called me about it" laughed Craven. "At the moment, I have no idea what the plans are for the franchise-it would be down to [the producer] Bob Weinstein to decide on that."
I'll let you know on any further details on both these productions.
