Fear Dot Com?

[Arnold M]

Does anyone know the current status of the Ring and Kairo remakes in the 
U.S.?

This evening I saw a commercial on TV (in Seattle) for an upcoming film 
called "Fear Dot Com."  The story seems to be something about a haunted 
internet site.  "Do you want to watch?"  If you do you'll apparently be 
exposed to some strange images and be killed 48 hours later.  There's a 
trailer available on the internet site (www.feardotcom.com, I think) which 
is a little bit different from the one I saw on TV, but if any of you get 
the chance to watch you might see a few familiar images--a spooky-looking 
woman crawling on the floor on all fours, a man using the internet with his 
back to a wall covered in messy black writing ("tasukete tasukete"?), a 
woman's fingertips slowly reaching over the edge of a table.  For a second 
I was sure this was Kairo, but the trailer on the site made me think more 
of the Ring.  Does anyone know, is this one of the rumored Hollywood 
remakes we've been waiting for, or did Warner Brothers just borrow a few 
ideas from recent Japanese films and make their own new(ish) story?  Fear 
Dot Com is coming out on the 30th of this month.
