Hollywood’s latest attempt to mine more money from The Ring franchise has had a few issues, with the release being pushed back a couple of times. However, now it’s on its way and a trailer has arrived.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘A new chapter in the beloved RING horror franchise. A young woman becomes worried about her boyfriend when he explores a dark subculture surrounding a mysterious videotape said to kill the watcher seven days after he has viewed it. She sacrifices herself to save her boyfriend and in doing so makes a horrifying discovery: there is a “movie within the movie” that no one has ever seen before…’

However, he put it on hold while working on Marvel’s Ant Man, but after his somewhat abrupt departure from that project, he went back to it. However, it’s only now we’re getting out first look with a couple of pic via EW.
Following the muted and somewhat confused reaction to Prometheus, 20th Century Fox has been keen to show the follow-up will be something more familiar.
