The movie will feature an all new collection of characters, as portrayed by the likes of Matilda Lutz ( Somewhere Beauitful), Alex Roe ( The 5th Wave), and Johnny Galecki ( The Big Bang Theory). Javier Gutiérrez will feature a story centered around present-day events, picking up in real-time after Verbinski's first installment in the American Ring movie series. Rings, after being pushed back from a November 2015 release date to an April 2016 premiere by Paramount Pictures once before, will now hit theaters on October 28th this year instead. However, a third film in the American Ring franchise has been in production for sometime now, though now the release date for The Ring 3 aka. Many viewers and critics found the original Verbinksi remake to be an entirely engrossing and terrifying affair, though its follow up from 2005 was met with lesser fanfare, thus putting an end to the franchise for the immediate future. Verbinski's American remake from 2002 was based in part on the original Japanese film of 1998, though both versions have their ties to the original novel by horror writer Koji Suzuki (originally published in 1991).

There are perhaps few horror films from the 2000s that have remained as readily citable and culturally pervasive as that of director Gore Verbinski's The Ring, a genre film that introduced viewers to a certain VHS tape that renders the viewer subject to predetermined death brought upon them by Samara, a supernatural entity of an entirely vengeful nature.
