The Ring Virus


Specialty distributor Tai Seng will release the first domestic edition of the The Ring Virus on June 21st. This Korean adaptation of the novel Ringu (and Hideo Nakata's Japanese film) arrives with a letterboxed transfer, English, Mandarin and Korean Dolby Digital 5.1 tracks, Cantonese Dolby Digital Stereo and removable English and Chinese subtitles. Extras will include an image gallery, filmographies and trailers. Retail is $19.95.

So it's basically the Hong Kong R0 DVD packaged by Tai Seng in R1 land? Makes sense, you know, since Tai Seng does that for all their releases...

And didn't Tai Seng put this out months ago? I thought they put this almost half a year ago?

This is different from the Ringu put out by Dreamworks when The Ring first came out on DVD, right?

right

Yes, August 2004. This has to be a re-release.

not sure guys....just posting what i found....hope someone can clear all this up

Is the only difference between ringu, that there are different actors? Or is it a different story.

same story, i had a hard time getting into this one

You and me both. Man, I thought Ringu sucked! I mean you find out halfway through the movie that

I liked "The Ring Virus", they added some things that the Japanese original Ringu didn't have and that the US version took from (the US version basically took the Korean and Japanese stories and melded them together). If memory serves.

My thoughts exactly!
