The Grudge will be remade again by Ghost House Pictures
The franchise started with director Takashi Shimizu's Ju-On, which was spawned after two straight-to-video releases in Japan. Takashi Shimizu also directed the Japanese sequel Ju-on 2 and then the American remake The Grudge in 2004, along with its sequel, The Grudge 2, in 2006. The Grudge 3 was released straight to video in 2009, although it's the only movie in the whole series which wasn't directed by Takashi Shimizu. Toby Wilkins took over directorial duties for The Grudge 3.
It isn't known if Takashi Shimizu will return to direct this new remake. It is also unclear if Ghost House and Mandate are eyeing a theatrical release or if it will go straight-to-video.
The Grudge was released October 22nd, 2004 and stars Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jason Behr, William Mapother, Clea DuVall, KaDee Strickland, Grace Zabriskie, Bill Pullman, Rosa Blasi. The film is directed by Takashi Shimizu.

@ROFLitschristian It's a real piece of sh!t. Looked like it was made with a home camera and MS Paint. Just watching the trailer you know how it will all play out. I think the name was Terror Toons

@bawnian-dexeus What? Never heard of that one. Sounds like a better version of Stay Alive.

@ROFLitschristian Lol. In this case, sure. But in general, any genre has it's fans. Like that incredibly horrid comedy horror movie about toons coming to life and killing theses teenagers the way cartoon characters hurt each other

What do people see in these films? The first one was such a train wreck I was laughing the whole time. And the second one: turned it off when the girl peed herself. This is one of the dumbest film series ever, like we really need more.
