Terwijl Rings door critici de grond wordt ingeboord en het internet grappen maken over deze erg slechte film, is het de regisseur F.Javier Gutierrez die heel blij een interview gaf aan de website Coming Soon. Alleen kan ik je garanderen dat deze franchise dood is en deze regisseur niet echt blij hoeft te zijn op deze productie die twee jaar lang op de plank heeft gelezen voor dat het een release kreeg.

ComingSoon.net: What prompted you to sign up for this?

F. Javier Gutierrez: I was involved in "The Crow" at the time, that movie got delayed. I met Walter Parks and Laurie McDonald, the producers of the "Ring" franchise some time ago after my movie "Before the Fall." I got a call from Walter asking if a new chapter in "The Ring" was something I'd be interested in. I felt attracted by the challenge.

CS: Obviously when you're doing a sequel you want to bring new ideas to the table. What was the big new idea you wanted to exploit for "Rings"?

Gutierrez: The fact that it happens 15 years later is kind of exciting. We open a lot of doors to play with new technology. We are surrounded by not only TVs but cell phones and iPads. That's something that's exciting to explore. The idea of a video inside the video and tracking Samara also.
