Here is the premise http://www.kristanna.com/thering.htm

Based on one of Europe's favourite classic tales, "The Ring" (former working title) will draw from the unanimous appeal of the original saga of Siegfried the dragon slayer, which inspired "The Lord of the Rings" by J.R.R. Tolkien and Richard Wagner's opera cycle. Targeted at an international audience, this fantasy-adventure will captivate viewers with its story elements of universal, timeless appeal: the story of a simple swordsmith's son, who heroically saves his country time and again, not even knowing that he too is heir to a throne - set against the backdrop of a century-old curse that will overshadow the brave, young man's undying love to a beautiful woman.

"The Ring" (former working title) is written by Uli Edel together with Diane Duane and Peter Morwood based on a story by Bob Cochran ("24", "Attila"). Co-produced by VFX-Oscar® winner Volker Engel ("Independence Day", "Godzilla") and his partner Marc Weigert ("Independence Day", "Muppets From Space") from Uncharted Territory. Production designer is Albrecht Konrad ("Faraway, So Close", "Aimée & Jaguar") who will be joined by costume designer Barbara Baum ("The House of the Spirits", "Aimée & Jaguar"). "The Ring" (former working title) will be produced by Tandem Productions "The Ring" GmbH & Co. KG (a subsidiary of Tandem Communications) and Film & Entertainment VIP Medienfonds (2&3) GmbH & Co. KG in association with Sat. 1, Channel Four and Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment.

sounds 'okay' I'll see it just for Kristanna, maybe rent it or something.

It looks like it.

At best, it can be a sweeping, human, fantastical costume epic.

At worst, it can be a painfully boring, pretentious mess.

The Ring of the Nibelungs made a B-series film with the talentless terminatrix? PLZ NO!
