‘The Ring’ Reboot, ‘Rings,’ Infects First Viewer!
The latest tape has been discovered, and allegedly it’s a reboot.
TheWrap is reporting that casting is underway on Rings, which is the latest installment in The Ring franchise.
“Rings” is also the name of the short – directed by TCM 2 and TMNTs’ Jonathan Liebesman – that accompanied the purchase of The Ring 2 on home video in 2005.
Italian actress Matilda Lutz, pictured below, has been cast as the female lead in F. Javier Gutierrez’s horror movie Rings, says the site.
Walter Parkes and Laurie MacDonald are producing the horror film, which will once again feature Samara and a deadly video tape, though Rings will feature a fresh young cast rather than Naomi Watts.
Aviva Goldsman, David Loucka and Jacon Aaron Estes all had a hand in writing the script, which is based on the 1991 novel by Koji Suzuki.
The Ring was the incredibly 2002 remake of the J-horror classic, Ringu, which starred Naomi Watts as a woman uncovering the mystery behind a haunted VHS tape. It also served as some inspiration behind V/H/S.
The Vice Press Home Video label is back, and we’ve learned that they’re joining forces with Paramount Home Entertainment to bring Alex Proyas’ classic The Crow back to VHS.

In the 1994 movie starring the late Brandon Lee, Eric Draven’s fiancée is killed alongside Draven, setting the film’s revenge storyline into motion. It spawned a handful of sequels.
