The Grudge (previously titled Grudge) is an upcoming 2020 American supernatural horror film written and directed by Nicolas Pesce, from a story by Jeff Buhler and Pesce, and produced by Sam Raimi, Robert Tapert, and Takashige Ichise. The film takes place in the same concurrent timeline as the 2004 film of the same name,[3] while also serving as the reimagining of the American film series, which was based on the Japanese Ju-on films. It stars Andrea Riseborough, Demián Bichir, John Cho, Betty Gilpin, Lin Shaye, and Jacki Weaver.

In 2011, a sequel was announced, with a release date for 2013 or 2014. By March 2014, it was officially announced that a reboot of the franchise was in the works, with Buhler set to write the script. By July 2017, The Eyes of My Mother filmmaker Nicolas Pesce was hired for rewrites, based on Buhler's script, and to direct the film. Principal photography on the film began in May 7, 2018, in Winnipeg, Manitoba and finished on June 23, 2018.

Sony Pictures Entertainment plans to release the film on January 3, 2020.

Premise

"A single mother and young detective (Andrea Riseborough) 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. "

Development

A fourth installment in The Grudge film series was first announced in August 2011 to be developed by Ghost House Pictures and Mandate Pictures.[9] It was also announced that the film would serve as a reboot of the franchise; it wasn't confirmed whether the film would get a theatrical release or be released direct-to-video like The Grudge 3.[10]

Later in November, Roy Lee, who was an executive producer of the previous three films, revealed that it still wasn't decided in what direction the franchise would go with the fourth American installment. According to him, they were still "hearing takes from writers on what they could bring to the table on what their thoughts are on a new version of [the franchise]".[11]

On March 20, 2014,[12] it was announced that Jeff Buhler—writer of The Midnight Meat Train and Pet Sematary[13]—had been hired to write the script and that the film would be produced by Ghost House Pictures and Good Universe.[14][15] Buhler later confirmed in April that the film wouldn't be based on the 2004 film or any of the Japanese Ju-On films. Instead it would introduce new ghosts, characters and a new mythology. Buhler also clarified that while the mythology would be pushed forward, they still tried to keep the "concept and spirits" of the films.[16]

In early July 2017,[17] it was announced Nicolas Pesce, writer and director of The Eyes of My Mother,[18] had been hired as director and that he would be rewriting Buhler's draft of the script.[19][20] It is unknown if the reboot will retain the characters of Kayako and Toshio. Pesce has stated that the film will be: "[much] darker, grittier, and more realistic."[21]

Casting

On March 3, 2018, it was announced that Andrea Riseborough would be starring in the film.[4] Later, Demián Bichir was added to the film,[5] followed by John Cho[6] and Lin Shaye[8] a few days later. On April 30, 2018, Jackie Weaver, Betty Gilpin, William Sadler and Frankie Faison were cast in the film.[7]

Filming

Principal photography began on May 7, 2018, in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and finished on June 23, 2018.[22] Additional photography took place in June 2019.[23]

Release

The Grudge is slated to be released by Sony Pictures Entertainment on January 3, 2020.[24] The film had previous release dates of August 16, 2019, and June 21, 2019.[25][26]
