Remaker Focused on "The Host" and "The Ring 3"
by Scott Weinberg | January 08, 2007
Discuss Article
Since producing the American version of "The Ring" in 2002, producer Roy Lee has stayed firmly within the realm of the "re-imaginings" by producing movies like "The Grudge," "The Ring 2," "The Lake House," and "The Departed." And he's not done yet! Seems we can expect a "Ring 3" and a remake of "The Host," too.

According to Bloody-Disgusting.com, Mr. Lee's "plan is to hold the film for a few years and go into the franchise "with a new fresh story," and perhaps going back and doing the prequel thing -- because the hardcore Ringfans really want to know Samara's backstory. (Me, I'm done with the whole series, American and/or Japanese.) Unfortunately for those fans, another "Ring" flick is (at the very least) a few years away.

And while we don't have any additional news on the project, Roy Lee is also preparing a remake of "The Host," which opens in American theaters on March 9th.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! People in Hollywood like this guy should seriously be locked up. The only good thing this guy did was "The Departed". Everything else was worse than crap.

I liked The Ring. Although The Grudge was cheesy and I can't say that I'm looking forward to The Ring 3, the trailer for The Host looks pretty good.

well u know these horror movies, killers always come back from the dead, which produces lame sequels (eg. Friday the 13th/ nightmare on elm st.)

If it's a prequel though, it doesn't matter at all how the 2nd one ended. I really don't want another one. I'm not a big fan of the J-horror remakes period, I am kinda looking forward to One Missed Call though.

I just want to see the original Host.
But these remakes do have their place, some people just can't stand reading subtitles and The Ring and Departed remakes were very good. The Grudge was a big disapointment and I didn't bother with the Lake house or Ring 2.
The Host!!!!!
