Sony’s reboot of The Grudge horror franchise – which originated in Japan – has been assigned a summer 2019 theatrical release date.
Next to The Ring, the biggest hit of said American remakes was 2004’s The Grudge, distributed by Columbia Pictures.
Unlike The Ring – which was directed by future Pirates of the Caribbean helmer Gore Verbinski – The Grudge was helmed by Takashi Shimizu, director of all prior entries in Japan’s Ju-on: The Grudge franchise.
The Grudge reboot haunts theaters on August 16, 2019.
