This is one of the Asian films that has been in turnaround for a long time and I knew eventually that it would remade. It had been rumored at one point that the Olsen twins were going to star. Hopefully that doesn't pan out. Right now Dreamworks is setting up the project with Tom and Charlie Guard at the helm. The new revised Dreamworks tale will center on modern-day teenage sisters Anna and Alex Rydell who return home from a mental hospital only to find their recovery unraveling because of a cruel stepmother, clueless father and a lingering ghost. That doesn't sound to different from the original is about. I guess they are just trying to make it seem like they are putting a new spin on the film. The original was directed by Kim Jee-woon and the film was a hit in the box office in Korea. Production on A Tale of Two Sisters is scheduled to begin this fall. Keep it here for more on this as it comes down the pipeline.

this is horrible. this is a wonderful film and as much as i love this country we are horrible at remakes and we cannot convey Japanese horror to an American audience at all! they have basically ruined every j-horror film they have tried to americanize..it just doesn't work. people just watch the original, suck it up and deal with subtitles, you will get a MUCH better film...honestly! a remake is a remake whether it is Japanese horror film or a remake of a American horror classic it is just not the same.

What about The Ring?? I never saw the original Jap version but I thought the US version was pretty good.

the ring is a pretty good, but the original Ringu is better. however to me the ring wasn't as scary as the first viewing of ringu....
