Trivia: The film's title "The Ring" refers to the recurring ring/circle imagery seen throughout the film, as hinted by the tagline "Before you die, you see the ring." Somewhat oddly, this idea was completely original to this American remake. In both the original Japanese film and in the original novel series that inspired it, the title "Ring" is actually a reference to the neverending nature of the curse... it just keeps going on and on in circles. The filmmakers of this remake decided to make the ring literal in addition to being metaphorical.
