Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Looks to be a pretty good year for the Ring franchise. You got this Hollywood sequel and also the Japanese head to header that brings the Ring girl up against the Ju-On girl. I imagine their hair will get tangled together at least once.
I'm a pretty big fan of both original Ring films. Gore Verbinski knocked the US remake out of the water and that very first Ring film was a perfect fit at a perfect time. I remember being showed that movie actually on an unlabeled VHS before it came out. It actually felt dangerous.
The new sequel looks to be The Ring via Final Destination a little bit (and has the dubious honor of having Akiva Goldsman on the writing staff), but I'm pretty nostalgic for this particular monster, so I'll cut it a little slack. I spent most of the trailer going "Fuck it, why not?" "A blind Vincent D'Onofrio? Fuck it, why not?" "Samara on an airplane? Fuck it, why not?"
So, hit play below and watch this bad boy. Fuck it, why not?
