The Ring | Remake This Movie RIGHT!

Rachel Keller is a journalist investigating a videotape that may have killed her niece and her three friends exactly seven days after watching it. After watching the video herself, Rachel begins a nightmarish race to find the truth and ultimately beat death for herself and her son before fate’s clock eventually runs out.

A Western reboot of 1995’s Japanese classic, Ringu, The Ring is already a horror classic in many aspects. Director Gore Verbinski did a marvelous job translating the fateful tale of Samara and her terrifying well of death, and audiences were terrified. As we approach the upcoming 3rd American version of the story, RINGS, we decided it was time to lay the foundation and Remake The Ring RIGHT!

Clips selected from the 2002 film, The Ring.

What IS Remake This Movie RIGHT?

Remake This Movie RIGHT! is a bi-monthly podcast where we take a classic film that is actively being remade by Hollywood studio execs, and craft our own version for a modern retelling. Does the story need updating? Should characters or motives be tweaked? Do we need more muppets? We take all factors into account, concoct our singular film, and then offer a Final Pitch to you in movie trailer form. By the end of each episode, we will Remake This Movie RIGHT!

Our show is broken down into three distinct parts:

The Original: We discuss the original film’s impact on us and history, some quick trivia bits, what worked the best from the film and therefore must remain in our upcoming remake, as well as what didn’t work or what needs to be changed for today’s audiences. Most importantly, should this film even be remade?

The Remake: We put together our movie! What story do we want to tell, how close to the original will it be, who will star, and ultimately who should direct our eventual cinematic masterpiece? Our hosts work together to put together one cohesive movie, but there is one caveat – Each host has one ‘CUT!’ throughout the episode to employ, which could completely derail the entire film.

The Final Pitch: This is where we summarize our remake by utilizing the voice talents of voiceover artist Wayne Henderson and present our finished remake to you in movie trailer parody form!
