The U.S. film industry is no stranger to adaptations of popular Asian movies, but the early 2000s were especially loaded with Asian horror movie remakes. The frenzy started in 2002 when Dreamworks Studios put its spin on Hideo Nakata’s “Ringu,” more commonly known as “The Ring.”
During the next decade, Hollywood continued to feed the hype with the releases of “The Ring Two,” and other remakes such as “The Grudge” (three of them!), “Dark Water,” “Pulse,” “The Eye,” “One Missed Call,” “Shutter,” “Mirrors” and “The Uninvited.” Eventually, the trend died down, but like most of the spirits in these movies, it was only waiting for the right time to strike again. Leave it to Paramount Pictures to awaken the ghosts of remakes past with its upcoming release of “Rings” on Feb. 3, 2017.
“Rings” is expected to scare a whole new generation of movie-goers, and to prove that, Paramount Pictures staged a prank for some unsuspecting TV shoppers.
