Not only is America in debt to China for tons of cash , but also apparently for gargantuan ogre movie estimate . After Korean gargantuan monster flick The master of ceremonies took the populace by storm , a Chinese picture crew set to work making what they calleda “ focalise ” sequelto the saga of a toxic beast defeated by a feisty family of misfits . Now Gore “ The Ring ” Verbinski is make noise about doing an American reboot too . Verbinski made a name for himself with The Ring , a smart , scary take on the Japanese revulsion picture ( and novel ) called Ringu , about a videocassette haunted by the vengeful spirit of a murdered girl . There are no giant monster in The Ring , but the ghost was visually terrific – as were the flickering images on that deadly tape measure . Can Verbinski do it ? peradventure , if he draft the help of San Francisco special effects house The Orphanage , the same group that brought Hostie to magnificent life in The Host . A more interesting question to me is whether we ’re go to see more of these localized reboots and sequels of democratic franchises . Could be a good source of gross for Warner if they were to let Chinese studio do their own versions of Dark Knight and the sequel to it . Plus who does n’t want to see Batman in Hong Kong – but done right?Universal Remaking the Host[via Dread Central ] Thanks , Avery “ Friend of Kaiju ” Guerra !
