'The Ring 2' Has Lost Its Direction From Murro

[Wednesday, March 10th, 2004]
Commercial director Noam Murro has left the sequel The Ring 2 after almost five months of development, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Murro signed on to make his directorial debut on The Ring 2 in November but since that time has faced creative differences with the studio over the direction of the franchise and decided to step aside.

"This is a mutual parting based on two creative differences," DreamWorks co-head Walter Parkes said. "Noam Murro is an extraordinarily gifted director, and we intend without hesitation to try to work with him in the future."

It's unclear how Murro's departure will affect the start date or the involvement of Naomi Watts, who is attached to star in the movie.
