Then all went quiet on the Sadako front, until 7 years later Japan decided to revive the black haired spirit for the social media generation, with the disastrous efforts that were Sadako 3D and its sequel, both directed by Tsutomu Hanabusa, released in 20 respectively. Hollywood then attempted to reinterpret the character for western audiences with a re-make in 2002, which was followed by a sequel in 2005 (interestingly, also directed by Nakata). Between 1998 – 2000 there was another Japanese interpretation on the original novel ( Rasen), a direct sequel, also helmed by Nakata, a prequel ( Ringu 0), a Korean version ( The Ring Virus), and a Japanese TV series ( Ringu: The Final Chapter). The Ringu saga awakens with Sadako DX, an upcoming thriller from Hisashi Kimura ( Masked Ward, Murder at Shijinso), who is directing off a script by Yuya Takahashi ( Lupin the IIIrd: Fujiko Mine’s Lie, Kamen Rider Ex-Aid).Īccording to ANN, Sadako DX stars Fuka Koshiba ( Yokai Housemate, Girls Step) as Fuka Ichijo, a college student with 200 IQ, who tries to unravel the curse of Sadako (the character who appears in the Ringu films).īased on a novel by Koji Suzuki, Sadako initially appeared to terrify viewers in a 1995 Japanese TV movie, entitled Ringu: Kanzenban, however the character didn’t really catch on until the release of director Hideo Nakata’s 1998 adaption, Ringu.
