[...] there is brand new "talk" of continuing on with The Ring franchise with a potential third film in 3-D. No other details were available at this time. Originally conceived as a trilogy (much like the Japanese originals), in the 2002 remake by Gore Verbinski, which grossed nearly $250m at the box office worldwide , a young journalist must investigate a mysterious videotape which seems to cause the death of anyone in a week of viewing it. The sequel, The Ring Two, took in over $150m. [...]

CS! sprach mit dem Drehbuchautor Ehren Kruger...
CS: [...] There's been word recently of a "Rings" prequel, which is strange since DreamWorks is not really the same company. Have you heard anything about this and is it anything you'd want to be a part of?
Kruger: I doubt that I would be involved with it. I don't know that I have too much more to bring to that world thematically, but never say never.
CS: It's kind of interesting, because your movie created a different origin for the Samara character in some ways, so I wondered if you had more of that origin sketched-out that may be used in the prequel.
Kruger: One of the difficult things of making a horror sequel in general is because the horror genre is so founded on surprise. Whether it's "The Ring" or "Alien" or "The Descent," you're experiencing a situation where you don't know what the rules are or what's going to happen. There is no pattern for you to start predicting, so it just makes it scarier. It's very difficult to make any kind of horror sequel that doesn't fall into a prescribed pattern or beats of the first.

[...] Sci Fi Wire had posted a small news bit teasing the future horror films of big time Producer Roy Lee, one of those films was The Ring Three. We got excited about the blurb and decided to go straight to the source for more. Here's the news directly from the horses mouth... as of right now the plan is to hold the film for a few years and go into the franchise "with a new fresh story," Lee tells Bloody-Disgusting. So the good news is that one day we might see the return of Samara! The original plan was to tell the origins of Samara in a similar fashion to the Japanese film "Ring o: Birthday". In the 2001 smash hit remake, a young journalist must investigate a mysterious videotape which seems to cause the death of anyone in a week of viewing it. Watch this spot for any news as it comes in. Right now Roy Lee is working on a remake to the Korean smash hit The Host.

[...] Parkes and his wife and partner, Laurie MacDonald, revealed that there will most likely be a "Ring 3." Says MacDonald, "We're doing a lower budget, almost going back to a original in a way. Not in story, but in scale." [...]

Bei SuicideGirls.com gibt es ein Interview mit Kôji Suzuki, dem Autor der "Ring"-Romane...
[...] If Ring 3 was to be made in the US I would love to write the screenplay for that. Ring Two diverged from the original story but since Spiral is the real sequel I would want it to have elements of that in it. I would like a movie sequel that's not just a repetition of previous works. I would love to show that a movie sequel could actually be a very good movie. [...]

IGNFF sprach mit den Produzenten Walter F. Parkes und Laurie MacDonald über Fortsetzungen...
[...] "We had a year of sequels," MacDonald laughed. "Ring 3, we're talking about. We actually had kind of a cool approach to it. That's kind of in the beginning stages. Lemony Snicket's is still something Paramount is interested in pursuing and we're going to be talking with them more."
Parkes talks about the two films: "It's easy to scale down Ring 3 as a small picture that's not incredibly expensive. Lemony Snicket's, [there is] the creation of the world, and therefore they tend to be expensive. And there's Jim Carrey, so you have to be absolutely certain that the market's there and the idea's there before you embark on that."
So does that mean Ring 3 could feature an entirely new cast? "Not necessarily, but it's by it's very nature a small, intimate movie."

Mit einem Einspiel von knapp 15 Mio. Dollar hat "Ring 2" am vergangenen Wochenende Platz eins am internationalen Boxoffice belegt. Dabei profitierte der Film von insgesamt acht zusätzlichen Starts, die erfolgreichsten davon in Italien (2,7 Mio. Dollar) und Russland (1,8 Mio. Dollar). Insgesamt steht "Ring 2" damit außerhalb Nordamerikas bei einem Einspiel von etwas über 31 Mio. Dollar. [...]

Nachdem zuletzt vor allem Komödien das Publikum in die deutschen Kinos lockten, stand den Kinogängern der Sinn jetzt wieder nach Horror: Der mit 438 Kopien gestartete "Ring 2" setzte sich an einem insgesamt schwachen Wochenende mit etwa 330.000 Zuschauern (ohne Previewzahlen) an die Spitze der Charts und verdrängte damit "Hitch - Der Date Doktor" an dessen fünften Wochenende von Platz eins. Der Original-"Ring" war vor zwei Jahren mit 228.000 Zuschauern angelaufen und kam insgesamt auf eine Mio. Besucher. [...]

HollywoodReporter.com meldet, dass das Drehbuch zu "The Ring 3" bereits in Auftrag gegeben wurde... Laut Chicago Sun-Times würde Hideo Nakata auch gerne bei Teil 3 Regie führen... Von einem Prequel (siehe "Ringu 0") ist die Rede... Bei AICN gibt es eine Kritik von Moriarty...
[...] From moment to moment, director Hideo Nakata does a nice job of creating mood and atmosphere, but the film's just too ludicrous to work. Rules go out the window, meaning anything can happen, meaning nothing really matters. Samara seems unnaturally powerful this time, and randomly able to do anything she wants to anyone she wants.

Mit einem deutlich besseren Startergebnis als "Ring" schoss "Ring 2" an die Spitze der US-Charts. Das zunächst geschätzte Einspiel von 36 Mio. Dollar ist eher mit dem Start von "Der Fluch - The Grudge" zu vergleichen, ein weiteres amerikanisches Remake eines japanischen Horrorhits, das vor einem halben Jahr in den USA angelaufen war. [...]

Bei iFMagazine.com gibt es ein Interview mit dem Drehbuchautor Ehren Kruger...
[...] It's a given there will be more RING movies, but Kruger notes he didn't lay the groundwork for a RING 3, although there is still a lot more material to explore.
"Well, we haven't explained everything, but the story is structurally self-contained," he says. "It has a proper ending. And if Rachel thought things were bad when she had seven days to live, this situation is worse."
And if there is another follow-up, Kruger is still undecided if he would be involved. "There will be one if you want one, if you know what I mean - democracy in action," says Kruger. "I don't know if I'd be involved. I suspect the story would be radically different from 1 or 2, but I suspect Samara would be in it." [...]

Bei Moviehole gibt es ein Interview mit Naomi Watts...
[...] While Watts did not need to appear in this week's Ring Two, the actress concedes she was contractually obliged to star in the spooky thriller. "Back then, I really didn't have the power of choice," Watts concedes, yet having said that, she had no qualms revisiting the world of The Ring, this time directed by Hideo Nakata, who helmed the original. "The first one was a good script, the film did very, very well and it went beyond a genre piece, with an extreme character in it which is quite rare in a genre, where there is usually just running and screaming," the actress explains. "The Ring 2" picks up six months after the horrifying events that terrorized Rachel Keller (Watts) and her son Aidan (David Dorfman) in Seattle. To escape her haunting memories, Rachel takes Aidan and moves to the small coastal community of Astoria, Oregon, to start fresh. However, Rachel's resolve quickly turns to dread when evidence at a local crime scene - including an unmarked videotape - seems eerily familiar. Rachel realizes that the vengeful Samara is back and more determined than ever to continue her relentless cycle of terror and death. Watts says that her "character had a lot more substance and it was about confronting the situation, the psychological aspects to it, and moral dilemmas, which I think have come up again in the sequel. They took a long time with the script, DreamWorks are very clever people, they know how to make it right and they persisted. We have a great director, who directed the original one, and we have a great cast. I think there is always that fear of doing any sequel but we took our time in trying to make it the best we could, while also give a nod to the audience." [...]

Bei Moviehole gibt es eine Kritik zu "Ring 2"...
[...] The movie starts off pretty average but it gets much better once the spookiness get going in full swing and it does build on the foundation that the original set forth on the life of this tragic yet very evil child.
It could have been a run in the mill sequel with no originality but it handles itself well in the story department and delivers a few genuine shocks and surprises during the course of the film. One of them is the character of Sissy Spacek, who has a small but pivotal role and her performance is actually pretty creepy in itself.
There is a nice twist that that links both Ring films together because of her character but I will not spoil it for you. The movie as whole is really pretty good but not as good as first film in terms of its sheer creep factor. [...]

[...] This was a rough working cut of the film that we got to see, and they prefaced that many of the effects were not done yet, and that there were other issues such as sound, much etc, that had not quiet gotten to the polishing stage yet [...]
I got the impression that the director might have wanted to use more of the disturbing imagery in this one and just got clamed down on by the machine of Hollywood. However, there were some aspects that harkened back to the original that really got the hair on my arm sticking up.
Over all I would give it a B+ / A- [...]
