Settling Another Grudge

By Garth Franklin Tuesday October 26th 2004 09:19PM

The Sarah Michelle Gellar-led US remake of "The Grudge" was always expected to do well at the box-office. Many just didn't expect how well though and when that $40 million tally came out on the weekend, pundits everywhere were shocked.

Naturally when a horror film based on an existing franchise and costing just $10 million to make happens to quadruple its budget on opening, the word 'sequel' immediately comes to mind. 

Thus today when <a href="http://www.creature-corner.com/" target="_blank">Creature Corner</a> spoke with producer Roy Lee, he was already talking more movies: &quot;The Grudge 2 is now being fast-tracked, as we speak, and we&rsquo;re now working on the details. We were very proud of the film and I think people went to see it because it was a good film which is the most important thing. 

It&rsquo;s too early to say what our approach will be with The Ghost because the writer, Craig Rosenberg, is currently shooting a movie called Half Light and won&rsquo;t be able to start working on the script for The Ghost until he completes his film. We&rsquo;re all very excited about it.&quot;

Thanks to 'KC'
