mikejonas moderator (11/15/02 3:28:44 pm) Reply	Re: Scare Samara I guess it depends on the actor's psychological well-being to begin with. One would think that someone Daveigh's age is old enough to know the difference between fantasy and reality. And since she's exposed to all the creative processes behind it--from makeup to lighting to camera setups to interacting with the other actors and the crew--a lot of the illusions that may bother any other pre-teen viewer would be shattered for her. Samara crawling out of the TV and spooking her probably wouldn't faze Daveigh, since she knows that she herself had to endure gobs of makeup, being drenched with water, and having to do what must've been multiple takes, in order to make that scene happen on screen. For someone David Dorfman's age, it may be a somewhat different issue--he may have done his scenes not completely aware of what the movie is about. His scenes, compared to Daveigh's, are rather mundane when taken out of context, and I could see how watching the finished product, if he was unaware of all the other elements of the story, may upset him.

You would think so, but read this except from an interview with Daveigh: Q: Was it fun to play someone so evil in The Ring? A: Chase: It was really fun. It is not your typical character. Usually they are looking for a happy-go-lucky kid, but Samara was a pretty interesting character to play. I just kind of took my own voice and put this freaky twist on it. The producer for this movie told me she was a lot like Linda Blair in The Exorcist. I saw part of that, and what really freaked me out was when she was crawling upside down and backward down the stairs -- kind of like the spider. Q: The audience was screaming at your final scene in The Ring. Did it scare you? A: Chase: The ending actually totally freaked me out. I covered my eyes and my mom looked over at me and saw me cover my eyes and she was like, ``Daveigh, that's you. Why are you scared of yourself?'' It really freaked me out because (the character) is all creepy. http://www.ohio.com/mld/ohio/entertainment/gossip/4492262.htm

He said the Ring was a depressing piece of material to work on and would have to think twice about directing a sequel. Either he doesn't have the stomach to do true horror or its just part of the hype machine.

O Deka K citizen of the Loopworld (11/15/02 4:42:56 pm) Reply	Re: He scared himself That's not how Verbinski sounded in the TV spots. He sounded pretty excited, from what I recall. I remember him saying something like, "It's set up perfectly for a sequel."

samarasmybiach shambler (11/15/02 4:52:17 pm) Reply	$$ Talks He said the Ring was a depressing piece of material to work on and would have to think twice about directing a sequel. Oh, he'll do it. He may have felt this way right after finishing the project, but sucess (and cash) has a funny way of changing one's perspective. By the time the home video audience has sampled The Ring on DVD, there will be a huge hunger for a sequel, and he would be crazy not to jump on board.

mikejonas moderator (11/15/02 5:02:00 pm) Reply	Not SHOULD he do it, but should HE do it? I think some of the criticism that's been leveled at The Ring is directed at Verbinski's work; he gets points for getting the mood and ambience right, but he may not have had the knack for horror (his previous credits, as you may know, include "Mouse Hunt" and "The Mexican," not to mention the Budweiser frogs). I wouldn't mind seeing someone like Fincher or Demme or Cronenberg take a whack at The Ring 2.

Ghetto Ring out from the well (11/15/02 5:25:53 pm) Reply	Re: Not SHOULD he do it, but should HE do it? Just imagine George Lucas doing it: Final scene- 20-year-old Aiden, who is turning to the dark side aas a result of his exposure to Samara, sees his tv turn on. He tries to turn it off, but fails. The picture of the well appears, and suddenly a mysterious figure crawls out of the well, into Aiden's room and says, "Meesa kill you now". Aagh the horrror! This is Samara?! -One man, one obsession: The Ring!
samarasmybiach shambler (11/15/02 5:34:12 pm) Reply	Directors just not Steven Speilberg or George Lucas please Or Chris Columbus. I wouldn't mind seeing someone like Fincher or Demme or Cronenberg take a whack at The Ring 2. Good choices. Fincher could obviously pull it off, and Demme is a talented director. As for Cronenberg, just the thought of him directing a Ring film gives me the creeps (in a good way). I'd throw in Sam Raimi, but he's a little busy right now...

Listen to the Scream commentary. He and Williamson toss the word "postmodern" off more than should be legally allowed. And their repeated clapping-each-other-on-the-back for the TV having the blue screen in the background? God, I almost drove a lit Q-tip into my ears...but I just turned off the track instead. Craven bad, fire good.

I totally agree Ten99, I don't think I have ever seen Craven in an interview where he wasn't beating his chest over some small thing he did that worked but wasn't revolutionary. You say psycho like its a bad thing!
Huw Lines everyone will suffer (11/18/02 4:43:11 am) Reply	Re: No Craven!!!!!!! I agree about Cronenberg. Bernard Rose (Paperhouse, Candyman) would be another interesting choice for director of a Ring film. He has a great sense for sinister atmosphere and detail.
