I'm one of those people who watched the japanese Ringu before the american remake, and liked both. I am looking forward to the american Ring 2, especially after seeing the trailer, but I am VERY relieved to note that it's an original script rather than a rehash of the japanese Ring 2.
I am a bit concerned that these Japanese inspired movies are all a little "samey", and I hope that the new Ring 2 bucks that trend.
