The Ring Two

[MacGuffin]

The sequel to The Ring has just begun shooting, and a poster of sorts is already out. The promotional ad below appeared in Variety magazine, and when a teaser poster reaches theaters, it may very well be a similar or identical design. "It begins again," reads the tagline.



Release Date: March 18th, 2004 (wide)

Cast: Naomi Watts (Rachel Keller), Simon Baker (Max Rourke), David Dorfman (Aidan Keller), Sissy Spacek, Emily Van Camp (Emily)

Director: Hideo Nakata (Ringu, Chaos)

Screenwriter: Ehren Kruger (The Ring, Arlington Road, Scream 3, Reindeer Games; cowriter of Impostor; he's also got The Brothers Grimm and Blood and Chocolate coming soon)

Premise: Following the events of the first movie (in which mysterious video tapes seemed to cause people who saw them to die seven days later), investigative reporter Rachel Keller (Watts) and her son Aidon (Dorfman) move away from the big city life of Seattle to the small town of Asheville, Oregon. Soon enough, however, Rachel discovers a case in which those pesky tapes seem to be up to their seven-days-later-you-will-die shenanigans, even as developments arise which threaten her relationship with her son. Returning to Seattle to investigate the case of Samara Morgan (the ghost girl from the first movie), Rachel begins to uncover secrets behind the entire phenomenon... (Baker plays a coworker at Rachel's newspaper; Van Camp plays a teenage girl whose boyfriend died after seeing one of the video tapes.)

They're rushing this through production to have it out in the fall. Good luck.

nothing beats a good trailer. this one succeeded in making me gasp out loud(embarassingly) causing my roommate to laugh at me.  if you go through the trailer frame by frame there are some cool images.

this movie was funny by the way.

this movie was funny by the way.

yeah, unintentionally. like when she puts the contents of those capsules in the kids sandwich. that was ridiculous.

watching the beginning, u'd think it was a comedy, the audience was laughing a lot at the lameness of it a lot, but at the same time they jumped at least 4 times on cue. the movie sucked tho, it's forgettable, uninpsired, just crap. shit just happens, it doesn't make any sense. everything seemed halfbaked, eg. gary cole.

there were a few cool shots but other than that, nothing to recommend. franchise officially dead.
