Trailer is up for Ring Two
Looks interesting. Considering that I liked the first one, I'll probably check it out. Doesn't look like it was based on the original autor's sequel novel Spiral, but that might actually be a good thing.
This is kind of "The Ring" related... We just got finished watching The Grudge on DVD. My question is, what, if any, are the connections between this flick and The Ring? I obviously ask, 'cause both were originally Japanese, and the main baddie chick looks/acts/crawls nearly identically to that freaky deaky wacko chick in The Ring.
Was it the same writer? Director? Any admitting of influence from one to the other? Did The Ring still come first in Japan? I watched the commentary and extras on The Grudge, and didn't hear a peep of a mention regarding The Ring. If that's really the case, then I'd cry foul if I was involved with The Ring, 'cause this thing completely ripped it off, especially with the scary chick, bangs all hangin' in front of her face, stop motion crawling, materializing out of nowhere, etc... If I didn't know better, I'd have almost thought this was The Ring's sequel, and that it was the same girl (with slightly more Asian eyes).
Thoughts?
