Amber Tamblyn will topline "The Grudge
2," the sequel to the 2004 horror hit for Columbia Pictures and Ghost
House Pictures. Director Takashi Shimizu, writer Stephen Susco and
producers Sam Raimi, Rob Tapert and Taka Ichise all are returning.
Arielle Kebbel and Teresa Palmer also have been cast. Tamblyn will play
the younger sister of Sarah Michelle Gellar, who returns long enough to
pass on the movie's supernatural curse. The sequel delves into the
secrets behind the grudge's wrath and introduces a seemingly unrelated
host of new characters who find themselves connected by the curse.
Kebbel and Palmer ("December Boys") play American schoolgirls in Tokyo.
Mandate Pictures' Joe Drake and Nathan Kahane will executive produce
alongside Vertigo's Roy Lee and Doug Davison. Matt Tolmach and Shannon
Gaulding will oversee the production for Columbia. Michael Kirk and
Drew Crevello will oversee for Ghost House.
