Cinema Today is reporting that some screenings of the hugely successful horror film Sadako 3D will soon be adding a whole new dimension to the movie-going experience which Kadokawa is calling “4D”.
Last September, several theaters in Japan screened Robert Rodriguez’s “Spy Kids: All the Time in the World in 4D” with a few additional “4Dx” features such as specific smells wafting through the theater or vibrations at certain points during the movie. However, Sadako 4D will apparently take things to a whole new level.
In keeping with the suspense/horror theme, moviegoers will have their legs grabbed, large clouds of white smoke will be pumped into the theater, and seats will even be fitted with velcro to bind people’s arms. Also, the theater will suddenly be invaded by a horde of real-life Sadakos who will come out of a large well.

Starring Satomi Ishihara, Koji Seto and Yusuke Yamamoto, Sadako 3D is yet another sequel the the classic J-horror film Ringu (The Ring) this time directed by Tsutomu Hanabusa (High School Debut) and, given the title, shot in 3D. Sadako 3D is scheduled for a May 12th release in Japan.
At a high school where Akana Aikawa works as a teacher, a rumor exists of a video. The video is purported to show someone committing suicide. Then Akane Aikawa’s student Noriko kills herself. During that time, more suspicious deaths occur one after another. The police concludes that the deaths are suicides. What the police miss is that a key element exists in all of the students’ deaths. All of them watched a video before they died. Akane Aikawa now holds the key to the revival of Sadako and must defeat her once and for all…...

Following on from the early teaser trailer that went out back in February a brand new full trailer has emerged for 'Ringu' horror follow-up 'Sadako 3D'. Tsutomu Hanabusa's new 3D installment is the latest tale in the franchise of J-horror 'Ringu' flicks and will be based on new novel 'S' (Esu) by the series' original creator Koji Suzuki. It's due to hit Japanese theatres from 12 May and hopefully an international release will soon follow. Satomi Ishihara (below), Koji Seto, Yusuke Yamamoto, Shota Sometani, Tsutomu Takahashi, Hikari Takara and Ryosei Tayama all star in the new story of Sadako Yamamura who'll most likely be aiming for some three-dimensional chills as she will no doubt be physically exiting TV and cinema screens near you soon. Check out the new trailer below....

The official website for Tsutomu Hanabusa’s Sadako 3D has been updated with a a new trailer.
The movie is a continuation of the blockbuster Ring franchise, which is based on a series of popular horror novels by Koji Suzuki. Director Hideo Nakata adapted the first novel in 1998, helping to spark a J-horror “boom” (okay, bubble) that dramatically boosted interest in Asian horror movies all over the world for a few years afterward. In 2002, Gore Verbinski directed a Hollywood adaptation that brought the story further into the mainstream.
Of course, being that it’s been over 14 years since the first movie, a few details had to change with the times. VHS is long-dead, so—like everything else—Sadako’s curse has been digitized and uploaded to the internet. Also, making it 3D is almost definitely all about recreating the iconic scene with Sadako slowly crawling out of a screen toward the viewer.

Am I currently in the market for another movie set within Koji Suzuki’s creepy little universe, a world where peculiar VHS video art can spell certain doom for those who watch it? Oddly enough, I am. However, I’m not entirely sure where Tsutomu Hanabusa’s upcoming “Sadako 3D” is headed. The person you see above is the film’s green-eyed villain, one Kiyoshi Kashiwada, portrayed by Japanese heartthrob Yusuke Yamamoto. His mission: Resurrect Sadako by any means necessary. It will be interesting to see which direction this one’s headed. Colorf me chin-scratchingly intrigued. Here’s a handy synopsis from Asian Media Wiki: At a high school where Akana Aikawa works as a teacher, a rumor exists of a video. The video is purported to show someone committing suicide. Then Akane Aikawa’s student Noriko kills herself. During that time, more suspicious deaths occur one after another. The...
