Ju-On aka Grudge?

I did a search, but didn't come up with anything.

I'm really confused...wasn't this movie released already...a year ago on DVD? Isn't there a 2nd one out as well?

I saw a preview for Grudge in the theaters Tuesday night, and thought "odd, this looks like the cover of that movie Ju-On". I went online, and from what I can tell, it's an american remake. I think.

Is this a remake?

-JR

*edit* ---> One large reason I was confused was because Sarah Michelle Geller plays the main character in the US preview. But, when I went to look online, IMDB and Empire Movies have conflicting information on cast/date of release.

Actually I think the original may be getting played in some theaters as well.

It's the original Japanese film that is opening in selected cities today, including the Angelica Film Center here in NYC, with reviews appearing in the dailies.

Yes, that's right. If you have versions of the TV movies with subs, you've got a boot.
