I can't believe they've done it. I didn't hold out much hope for the American remake of Ring, the cult Japanese horror movie, but the US film crew seem to have catered to the American movie going public yet again.

The simplifying of the script even goes as far as explaining why the film is called The Ring as well, just so the movie goers don't complain or leave scratching their heads. The images made famous in the original have all changed into something more apt for the western audience and I wouldn't be surprised if Bin Laden is finally found to be to blame for the evil at the end of the movie.
It really is a shame that this has to happen, and I hope I'm wrong about the film, but it seems it is necessary, as the people who have already seen the movie are still coming out confused, complaining that it was not a simple story and they just couldn't get it. Go watch another Vin Diesel film then, you dolts and let us have an intellegent stab at something different for a change.
Quoting from another famous American, D'oh!

Yeah but Gandalf was cool.
Ring sucked. Was I supposed to be scared?
"Ooh ooh, I'm down a well, what's going to happen? Oh look, it's an old ladies hair."
Rubbish.

I thought the original was extremely spooky and the final scenes with the tv was very scary.
I want to see it but at the same time i don't if that makes any sense!

I didn't know it was Japanese, my friend didn't mention it. I assume he's seen the western version, and he said it was excellent
Naomi Watts though.
So it's not all bad.
Mind you, I haven't seen the original.

One of my favourite French films, L'appartement, is being remade as Wicker Park for the American market. This includes replacing the superb and fantastically big-nosed and ugly Vincent Cassel, with no talent assclown prettboy Josh Harnet in the lead role.
I imagine that the twisty plot will be massively simplified, and the ending replaced with something utterly implausible à la Signs and friends.
Gah
