‘Rings’ Trailer Marks the Return of Samara and Her Curse!
Samara wants to be reborn in the official trailer for Paramount Pictures’ Rings, in theaters October 28th.
From F. Javier Gutierrez, the footage is extremely different from what was shown earlier this year, which told of Samara haunting a plane. Instead, the plane sequence ends the trailer, showing off shots that look inspired from “Twilight Zone’s” Nightmare at 20,000 Feet. In this incarnation, a new generation of horror fans learn the “rules” behind Samara’s reign of terror. When the tape becomes digitized, several new characters have seven days to get someone else to watch said video. Here, Samara finds all sorts of new ways to tell her story, as Sinister‘s Vincent D’Onofrio is once again used as a device to explain the characters what the heck is going on. In addition to some cool imagery, it’s got all of the sights and sounds of a Ring movie.
Matilda Lutz, Alex Roe, Johnny Galecki, Aimee Teegarden, Bonnie Morgan also star.
Penned by David Loucka and Jacob Estes and Akiva Goldsman:
A young woman becomes worried about her boyfriend when he explores a dark subculture surrounding a mysterious videotape said to kill the watcher seven days after he has viewed it. She sacrifices herself to save her boyfriend and in doing so makes a horrifying discovery: there is a “movie within the movie” that no one has ever seen before…
Rings is the third film in The Ring franchise, which began with the 2002 J-horror remake that was directed by Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean). A sequel was released in 2005.
“Mythic Quest” actor Chase Yi has been cast in a lead role in Paramount and Blumhouse’s new Paranormal Activity movie, Deadline reports this afternoon.
Ian Tuason (Undertone) will direct the eighth installment in the Paranormal Activity film franchise, set to release in theaters May 21, 2027.
As for character details or plot, well, those remain scarce at this stage.
While we wait for further news on whether the demonic Toby will reappear, Tuason previously revealed to Bloody Disgusting that technology will play a huge role in his vision: “Technology — camera technology — has advanced to a point where it’s become a big part of the film and what I want to do there.”
It’s fitting, especially as it was the original Paranormal Activity that inspired the filmmaker’s haunting debut, undertone.
Paranormal Activity, created by Oren Peli, first hit theaters in 2007. Its groundbreaking minimalist approach to found-footage ghost stories has spawned a seven-film franchise that’s grossed nearly $900 million worldwide.
Franchise originator Oren Peli will produce for Solana Films, with James Wan and Jason Blum producing for Blumhouse Atomic Monster. Michael Clear and Judson Scott will exec produce for Blumhouse Atomic, with Alayna Glasthal overseeing the project for the company. Other exec producers include Steven Schneider for Room 101, Inc., Dan Slater and Cody Calahan.
Also on the way soon is the Paranormal Activity stage play.
