21st October 2004 The Grudge Update:
Ho hum it's yet another remake of a superior far
eastern horror movie. At least this one has the director
of the original Takashi Shimizu back to helm the remake.
Why it needed a remake is beyind me, especially after
the box office success of eastern hits such as Crouching
Tiger and Hero. But hey, I guess our overpaid American
movie stars need something to do. It gets released in
the US tomorrow and in the UK on 5th November.

2nd April 2004: The Grudge Update:
Ted Raimi has been talking about The Grudge "I
play this character called Alex, who is the head of
a nursing home in Tokyo, where Sarah Michelle Gellar
temps. She's a student and she temps at this place,
and I send her off to this home where a woman dies.
It's a terrifying story about angry ghosts in Tokyo
and what happens to a bunch of Americans when they are
confonted with this horror. It's a very good story and,
interestingly, it's told in this Japanese style, which
is that everybody suffers. Everybody suffers in a Japanese
horror film."

The Islander has sent in the following info on the filming
of The Grudge "
I'm here in Tokyo at the moment on an internship, and
in yesterday's newspaper here The Daily Yomiuri , they
had a bit on the english remake of "grudge"
which sarah michelle gellar is shooting here, a few
quotes from the folks involved and a listing of the
cast below.
"I wanted to remake the film in Japan because I
felt I would be comprimising myself too much to do it
in Hollywood. Here, I have more control and I've availability
to the cast and crew I want to work with - not people
handed to me", says Director Takashi Shimizu, who
helmed the original "Ju-On". "We have
Sarah Michelle Gellar and Jason Behr both fresh from
very popular television shows and I think they'll great.
This will be great role for both of them. It will be
interesting to see Sarah in a different light I think,
playing more of a victim than we have use to see her
as the vampire slayer".
Shimizu says many of the same cast from the original
are back and they have re-created many scenes.
Starring are Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jason Behr, Clea
Duval, William Mapother, Bill Pullman, Emilie De Ravin,
Kadee Styrickland, Grace Zabriskie, Theodore Raimi,
Bebe Neuwirth, Takako Fuji, Brittney Powell
I also just found two pictures on a Japanese message
board which is of Behr and Gellar at a game here in
Tokyo.here's the link to the pictures :

Columbia Pictures has acquired domestic distribution rights to the English language remake of Japanese horror thriller Ju-On (The Grudge), which is being produced by Sam Raimi's Ghost House Pictures. The film's title refers to a curse which befalls someone who dies in the grip of a powerful rage. Those who encounter this murderous supernatural curse die, and a new one is born, passed like a virus from victim to victim in an endless, growing chain of horror (it says here).
Thursday 13th March 2003: The Grudge Update:
Stephen Susco is apparently in negotiations to adapt
The Grudge for Senator
International and Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert's Senator-based
genre arm Ghost

and directed by
Takashi Shimizu. Susco will adapt the work, which centres
on a murderous
supernatural curse spawned from a grudge held by a person
who dies in the
grip of powerful anger. The curse is then passed, like
a virus, from victim
to victim in a growing chain of horror across a quiet
neighborhood. Shimizu
is set to direct.
