‘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.
Brendan Fraser is back for the upcoming fourth installment in The Mummy franchise from directors Radio Silence, and Michael Johnston (Obsession) is now in talks to join him.
The Hollywood Reporter lets us know tonight that Michael Johnston is in “early talks” to join The Mummy 4, which will release in theaters on October 15, 2027 via Universal.
Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, and John Hannah will reprise their iconic roles as Rick O’Connell, Evelyn O’Connell, and Jonathan Carnahan in the upcoming movie.
Radio Silence duo Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillett (Ready or Not, Scream 5-6) are directing from a script by David Coggeshall (Orphan: First Kill).
Plot details are being kept under wraps at this time, but the brand new sequel is expected to disregard the events of the third movie, in which Rachel Weisz did not appear.
“It’s just really beautiful and scary and sweeping, and it’s awesome,” Gillet teases. Bettinelli-Olpin adds that the film “has all of the heart and the character that you could hope for.”
A remake of the classic Universal monster movie that took an action-adventure approach, The Mummy was released in 1999 and grossed $417 million worldwide. It was followed by The Mummy Returns in 2001 and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor in 2008.
