Paramount Developing 'The Ring 3D'
Tue, April 27, 2010 
Heat Vision is reporting that Paramount Pictures is developing a third installment "The Ring" franchise to be titled Ring 3D.
The new film will be written by David Loucka, who wrote the upcoming Dream House and House at the End of the Street.
Walter Parkes and Laurie MacDonald are in negotiations to return as producers, and Vertigo and Benderspink are executive producing.
The first installment, directed by Gore Verbinski (the "Pirates of the Caribbean" films) and starring Naomi Watts, earned an impressive $249.3 million worldwide in 2002. Watts reprised her role in director Hideo Nakata's The Ring Two, which made $161.5 million in 2005.
According to the trade, "the new film is being fashioned as more teen-centric than the first, and though the logline is being kept under wraps, the aim is to reinvent the franchise."
What do you think, will the ring still be relevant after what's already been a five year hiatus from the sequel? Or is that why they've decided to make it more "teen-centric". This must mean that Samara from the first two films will be crawling out of cell phone screens as opposed to TV's?
Hollywood is in desperate need of more new original ideas. I'd be willing to bet in a few years we'll be getting a remake or reboot to this same franchise.

That kid climbing out of the TV in 2D was freaky enough...
I thought it was scary too, I just don't understand why they're making a "teen centric" sequel now...
David Dorfman (Aidan is 17). I cannot wait to see David in Ring 3D. I love David Dorfman. He is awesome.
