Is this his attempt to one up the new The Ring(s)?
I just saw the trailer and I was amazed, I thought I was watching the trailer for Rings (you know, the third film in The Ring universe). It's a whole new film by Verbinski!? Fantastic! Did he get snubbed for the third one? Or did he say no? Or are they taking the franchise into B-level territory, so budget?
Always, this interests me way more than Rings at the moment.
