The Wrap is reporting that the latest installment in THE RING franchise has found its lead and been given a new title.

Paramount’s upcoming relaunch of the series, which was previously known as THE RING 3D, will now be known as RINGS. Despite being a reboot of the franchise, it’s believed that the new film will still keep the continuity of the previous movies in the US run of RING films.

As for talent involved, Matilda Lutz, a relative newcomer, has been confirmed to be the lead of the film. Academy Award-winning Akiva Goldsman is working on the script, which will be directed by F. Javier Gutierrez. Plot-wise, it’s believed that we’ll see more of Samara and the sinister video tape that’s been so prominent in the series.
