The future of The Ring franchise in the States has been an uncertain one for some time now. In Japan, there have been five  films as well as two TV series. In the U.S., we’ve only got two films and now the next planned installment, The Ring 3D, may be getting a new script.

Deadline reports that Paramount is in talks with screenwriter Akiva Goldsman to pen a new draft of the script, with F. Javier Gutierrez directing. Goldsman is best known for writing Oscar-bait like A Beautiful Mind and Cinderella Man, as well as flops like this year’s A Winter Tale.

He seems like an odd choice to bring in for a Ring film. Well, “seems,” isn’t really an appropriate word – he is an odd choice. Then again, it’s been 10 years since The Ring Two, maybe the franchise could use a different approach. Like Samara could utilize Blu-ray technology rather than come out of a VHS tape. It might take a while until she can find someone with a VCR nowadays, y’know?
