Remaking The Ring: My Casting Choices

I’m back with my next Remake Article!! Today, I picked one of my favorite horror films, The Ring. The Ring follows Rachel Keller, a journalist who investigates a string of mysterious deaths that are all connected by a strange videotape. As always, I made my casting choices based on age, looks, and how I picture their overall performances. Because I don’t know a lot of child actors, I decided to omit the characters Aidan Keller and Samara Morgan from this article. I hope you enjoy and let me know who you’d cast! (REMINDER: this is just hypothetical fun!! I respect everyone mentioned and this series isn’t meant to tear anyone down or be disrespectful!!)
