Amber Tamblyn will topline the sequel
The Grudge 2, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Director Takashi Shimizu, writer Stephen Susco and producers Sam Raimi all are returning. Arielle Kebbel and Teresa Palmer also have been cast. Tamblyn will play the younger sister of Sarah Michelle Gellar, who returns long enough to pass on the movie's supernatural curse.
The sequel delves into the secrets behind the grudge's wrath and introduces a seemingly unrelated host of new characters who find themselves connected by the curse. Kebbel and Palmer ("December Boys") play American schoolgirls in Tokyo.
