[edit] Review on The Grudge 3
During post-production on the film, Takashi Shimizu discussed ideas of creating another sequel, "During the script meeting, Our ideas didn't go anywhere good, and we couldn't come up with anything interesting to stop the curse, so if that's the case, I would rather just go for something that could never be stopped. But who knows, maybe something can be stopped in The Grudge 3".[1] During Comic Con 06, Sony officially announced plans of creating the sequel.[2] Takashi Shimizu stated he was offered to direct the sequel but would rather produce the film instead.[3] Moviehole recently reported that the film was putting out a casting call for new actors to play Kayako and Toshio, since Takako Fuji (Kayako) and Yuya Ozeki (Toshio) have passed on the opportunity. [4] Bloody-Disgusting reports that Shawnee Smith, who appeared as Amanda in the Saw films, has finished filming her scenes for this movie. It is unclear whether not the film will get an R-rating or PG-13.
