And the havoc that could be caused if it got uploaded to YouTube?

I just read that news from the director. I guess so called news sites post just about anything these days.

I still have a VHS. I wonder how much they could modernize The Ring without making it too digital. Wasn't there already some kind of Internet horror movie? Or maybe that cellphone one that was really bad. I think that was a Japanese remake too.

It is a good Japanese horror remake. Probably the best or at least top three.

You might be thinking of Pulse?

It could be very interesting if it is done right.

I have seen the short film "Rings".

That's it. I barely recall the movie except that it was bad. I believe the original Japanese one is completely different. I haven't seen it yet.

I've heard the remake is bad. I can't seem to find the original version anywhere.

Pulse was pretty terrible.

I find it strange that they are using Rings as the name for the next sequel if they already used it for a prequel short. But I guess im not Hollywood.

I thought that was strange too. It confused me because I remember it just being called The Ring 3 and had a pretty cool poster. You think maybe it'll expand on the original short film?

Also just saw that this is set to come out in November, and principal photography started in March.

Still no trailers or posters.
