Writer-director Nicolas Pesce's (THE EYES OF MY MOTHER, PIERCING) upcoming reimagining of THE GRUDGE sports a killer cast which includes Lin Shaye, John Cho, Demian Bichir, and Andrea Riseborough. And today we have a killer new featurette to share with you guys.

This new version just earned an R rating from the MPAA for "disturbing violence and bloody images, terror and some language" and takes place in America and – get this – happens at the same time as the 2004 Sarah Michelle Gellar flick. It follows:

A single mother and young detective discovers that a suburban house is cursed by a vengeful ghost that dooms those who enter it with a violent death. Now, she runs to save herself and her son from demonic spirits from the cursed house in her neighborhood.

And if this one is successful, Pesce has ideas for several more sequels:

 If we were to make more, I would want to do ones that were in Africa and in Europe and in Australia.  It’s about showing you that this thing is sprawled much further than we thought, and it’s way bigger and way more scary that way, I think.

Directed by Nicolas Pesce from a screenplay he wrote himself based on a story by Jeff Buhler based on Ju-on: The Grudge by Takashi Shimizu, THE GRUDGE is produced by Sam Raimi along with Robert Tapert and Takashige Ichise. It stars Andrea Riseborough along with Demián Bichir, John Cho, Betty Gilpin, Lin Shaye, Jacki Weaver, Frankie Faison, and William Sadler. THE GRUDGE is set to hit theaters on January 3, 2020.
