Parkes and Laurie MacDonald, with Roy Lee, Mike Macari, and Michele Weisler serving as executive producers. The film is the first installment in the American Ring series and a remake of the 1998 Japanese film, itself based on the 1991 novel by Koji Suzuki. Principal photography took place from November 2001 to April 2002, primarily in the State of Washington, with cinematographer Bojan Bazelli. During post-production, editing was completed by Craig Wood and the score was composed by Hans Zimmer.
