It doesn't look half bad... I predict it'll be quite a hit.

It does look appropiately creepy, but I think the little girl, who is the new Sadako, gets rescued in the end rather than the chilling ending of the original.

Why? Because it's a Hollywood movie.

Is this based off of something?

 

[Corinth]

A Japanese movie of roughly the same name.

The Hollywood mindset of "Hey, this other movie with the word Ring in the title did great! Lets try to cash in on its popularity and see how many suckers we can get?"

Edit: Sorry, smilies added.

So, is there a plot to this movie? THe preview isn't that good, since it tells you less then nothing. Just a bunch of confusing images and people dieing 7 days after watching a tape.

In the original, it's about this divorced journalist with a boy who investigates a series of strange deaths. All the victims have died 7 days after watching a tape. She gets hold of the tape and..

.. her son views it.

It's a race against time to unravel the mystery of the tape. The original ending is pretty chilling and 'nasty'. I would suggest you pick up the original and view it without knowing much about it, and watch it at night with the lights turned off.

They shouldnt have shown Gandalf comes back for those who didnt read the book to have some surprise.... overall good trailer

No use reposting the spoiler for people trying to avoid it.

That actually sounds sort of interesting, if a little predictible. The trailer, IMO, was junk. I like to actually learn something about the movie. But this seems to have a little promise. THanks.
