Ring 2 Movie Casting July Updates

Posted by:

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Meagen Fay joined the cast of DreamWorks' The Ring 2. Winstead, a veteran of the horror-tinged soap opera 'Passion' as well as the 'Wolf Lake' series and the MTV creature feature 'Monster Island', plays the younger incarnation of the character portrayed by Sissy Spacek, while Fay, whose credits include 'Kingdom Hosptial', is a suspicious neighbor of Rachel (Naomi Watts). Once set for a November 10 debut, the sequel, helmed by original Japanese director Hideo Nakata, will now open in early 2005.

I am really looking to this film especially becasue Hideo Nakata will be directing this one. Unfortunately though I feel like America is stealing all the great directors away from Japan. I mean we got Takashi Shimuzi now directing The Grudge and we already have Nakata doing another American project. Also I feel like Takashi Miike seems to be catering to a much more American audiences now after One Missed Call. Hopefully they will make their way back to Japan to direct some more blockbuster films.
