Remakes and sequels in one! Not content with remaking a foreign movie and then sequelisationing (?!) the remake, it looks like they are set to sequelise the sequelisation of the remake!! You got to love Hollywood.
IGN Film Force have a snippet or two from the production guys behind some huge earners of late, including The Ring.
We asked the two about potential upcoming sequels to two of their recent hits, Ring 2 and Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events. “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.”
The clever bunch at IGN then pressed on to the subject of casting the Ring…there’s a joke or two in there…
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.”
So not much information really, but there is definite progress towards a third movie. I haven’t seen the second yet, and being a huge fan of foreign film and in particular Japanese and Spanish horror, I’m still not sure I will watch it. So I doubt I’ll be going anywhere near a third.
What about you? Are you a fan of the remake and its sequel and are keen for a third? Or are you a Japanese horror fan and think it’s a complete travesty?
