Ringu director signs up for Inhuman

By Matt Holmes /

Director Hideo Nakata (Ringu) and producer Taka Ichise (The Grudge) are to re-team for a new horror movie at 20th Century Fox and Regency Enterprises. The movie will be titled Inhuman and the pitch from Eric Heisserer is said to be loosely based on a real life Japanese murder case. Nakata's only Hollywood movie so far has been his remake of The Ring Two which is generally regarded to be the worst film of his career but remarkably he has plans to shoot a sequel to it with The Ring 3. I'm willing to give Nakata another go with a Hollywood film. His Japanese stuff is excellent and now he has been given the reigns to do a film that is far removed from any stuff he has released previously, he should be able to show off his real talents to the Western world. source - variety
