Paramount Scares Up THE RING....3-D!

I thought we were done with the whole J-Horror thing? No? I thought watching Ed Burns sleepwalk his way through One Missed Call would've been the deathknell. Apparently, Paramount has other ideas and has decided to double down on the whole ordeal as they've decided to bring back the granddaddy of American J-horror remakes, The Ring. Only this time it'll be...in 3-D! Dunh dunh dunh!!!! 

Paramount has hired writer David Loucka(The Dream Team) to pen the script, which is being pushed as a "teen-centric" reimagining of the franchise.  Know what that sounds like? Straight to DVD. Just like Pulse 2 or The Grudge 3 bypassed theaters, I doubt that The Ring will gain any sort of theatrical distribution without it's main lead. The chances of Naomi Watts returning are slim and none, and slim just went out for a smoke break.

The Ring involved a video tape that when played and watched, would lead to the death of the viewer within a week. Even now I'm still confused about how all that worked. I think there was a girl in a well or something. So the question now is, do they up the ante by making it a Blu-Ray that kills folks? Or if they wanna stick with the nostalgia theme, a laser disc?
