News Roundup: Rings, Blue Things, Grey Things


Girl of the Rings

There was some speculation about Rings, the upcoming film in 'The Ring' series, that it would be a prequel to the original tale of a haunted VHS tape and a water-logged little girl. Presumably this speculation came about by those who care. However CinemaBlend relays director F. Javier Gutierrez's tweet that it is in fact a sequel. Meh. Still not interested.

Better Smurfs, please?

In case you never saw it (please, for the love of God, don't) the CGI-animated Smurfs was the cinematic equivalent to a giant turd in the toilet that not only doesn't flush but it in fact clogs the plumbing, overflowing the toilet, and ruining your entire life. /Film says a traditional animated version is coming to theaters 2017. It can't be as bad. It just can't.

'50 Shades' Sequel Probably Doesn't Need a Director

By all accounts, 50 Shades of Grey was a terrible movie with stilted performances, zero charisma, and an unhealthy lesson for viewers about anything sexual. Perhaps director Sam Taylor-Johnson had already checked out during production of the first film. So naturally, Taylor-Johnson has opted not to return to the sequel. I'm sure that won't derail the sequel train but maybe it'll flog the studio into developing something better.
