That’s probably not going to be its name. There are too many other things around at the moment with “Ring” in the title.
But never mind that. After four years of seeing nothing but paper, of pushing characters around through draft after draft, the production has finally come up with something visual, something Peter and I can stare at and think, “It’s really going to happen…!”
Our connection in South Africa, where shooting is about to begin, sent us this very rough bit of cut-together tape. He says: “[The producers say,] Just make sure they know that the title is a working title only, and that this material is not made with a professional camera, or by a professional cameraman.”
The file is 6 megabytes of “Real” format video, an “.rm” file. In it you can see some of the sets being built: artists working on fine detail: an early CGI rough of one battle scene, done by Uncharted Territory, who did the special effects for Independence Day and Godzilla: and the fight arranger working with some of the on-scene fighters in South Africa, while the director (Uli Edel) watches. The background music is by JCR.
Enjoy! Because we sure will…
