Andō soon learns of a mysterious cursed videotape, haunted by the spirit of a murdered young woman. After he finds a cryptic note in Takayama's stomach, Reiko and Yōichi also turn up dead. The movies Sadako 3D and Sadako 3D 2 would later continue the story of Takanori Andō, Mitsuo Andō's son.įollowing the events of Ring, the body of Ryūji Takayama, former husband of Reiko Asakawa and father of Yōichi Asakawa, is examined by his friend and rival, pathologist Mitsuo Andō. Takahashi and Nakata were later recruited to produce another sequel, Ring 2, which replaced Rasen as the sequel to Ring, not based on Suzuki's works, and thus ultimately ignores the story of Rasen. After their release, Ring became an enormous success while Rasen floundered, quickly becoming the "forgotten sequel". The two films shared a few cast members and had the same production team, but different directors and screenwriters Rasen was written and directed by Jōji Iida whereas Ring was written by Hiroshi Takahashi and directed by Hideo Nakata. The studio hoped this would increase revenues, because the Ring story was already a successful novel and television series. Ring and its sequel Rasen were released in Japan at the same time. It is directed by Jōji Iida, and, as with the first movie, is based on the novel Spiral (novel) by Kōji Suzuki. Ring 2: The Spiral ( らせん Rasen) is a sequel to the movie Ring.
