A remake of the spooky Japanese film Ringu, The Ring starring Naomi Watts was a massive hit in the early 2000’s. It not only made the phrase “seven days” a creepy part of pop culture but also inspired Hollywood to remake a ton of other Japanese films thanks to its success.
Although the movie is undoubtedly creepy, it also raises a bunch of questions. Like what happens if you’re not anywhere near a phone when you watch the tape? What happens if you’re standing next to a Jumbotron when Samara decides to crawl out of the screen? Why didn’t Rachel ask her son, who was communicating with Samara, for a bunch of information? Why did Samara’s dad bonk Rachel over the head before having his electricity party? And why did this ghost leave so many clues?!
To answer all these questions and more, step inside the pitch meeting that led to The Ring! It’s super easy, barely an inconvenience!

pitch meeting the grudge :)
Pitch meetings I would really like to see are. The hero "teen" movies of the 2000's. Like Jumper, Push, I am Number 4, & etc etc. It was the wave of movies back in the day.
Thanks for the video! your videos always cheer me up! ^-^ greetings from the Netherlands!
AMERICAN HISTORY X!
Make a pitch meeting about The Neon Demon!!
“well she looks like she died but also kinda like someone just got her the most thoughtful gift” 😂 never gonna be able to unsee that now
Lmao I died
This has me rolling
I never thought I would’ve able to laugh at such a grotesque image.
I loled at work, it was tight.
Because the Japanese version of the scared dead face spooked me so much, I avoided to see when watching the Hollywood version. Until today. And it's hilarious! Thanks, Ryan!
'She goes to the horse farm and start to get to the *BOTTOM* of this.'
'How does that go?'
'Oh, not *WELL*
'
"Oh, really?"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah! Actually, it's gonna be super easy, barely an inconvenience!"
Dang. That went completely over my head while watching the vid.
These videos are full of weird details like that, I find.
@@pentelegomenon1175 I know what that feels like!
lol, totally missed that xD
"It's an adaptation of a Japanese film called 'Ringu' "
"Oh okay so does it have... Hobbitu's in it"
I COULDN'T LMAO
That joke was so hillarious!
🤣🤣🤣 hell yeah
I just now got that……
Should've said hobitto
So f*****g funny! Just Genius! 😁
I watched the ring and right at the end my mother called me... I had a frickin heart attack
Did you see the video after the credits?
I was watching it on VHS and when she got the last call, I got a call on my land line ringing in time with the tape. I guess I should have answered.
@ Yes. Wait for my call.
@ How can you expect a response from a dead guy?
That's funny 🤣
I died laughing about "first year film student pretending to be edgy"
"Pretentious ghosts Artists are tight"
Same hahah
Possibly my favorite line in the video.
Although the Samara Vs Godzilla line gave it a run for its money.
You seem pretty talkative for a dead person.
If you're going to quote someone how about actually quoting them accurately?
"Misquotes are really taut"...
@@allahspreadshate6486 "saying what other people said but in a slightly worse version is what I do on daily basis."
-An Engineer student
What I wish had been included:
"And so then she has her creepy son make a copy of the tape, and then we're going to insinuate that everyone in the audience is going to die a week after watching this movie."
"But didn't you say that if someone copies the tape, that breaks the curse?"
"Yes."
"Did you just encourage the audience to make bootleg copies of this movie and give them to their friends so everyone is immune to the curse?"
"Whoops!"
"Whoopsie!"
Underrated
"Making bootleg copies is tight!"
@@earthling_za "No Sir, it is not!"
"Oops!"
"Oopsie!"
YEAHYEAHYEAH
Accidentally encouraging pirates is tight!
"Well, i have a Samara vs Godzilla script i can pitch ya"
Now i wanna see that movie
Yep
THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEn!
Samara vs Godzilla is TIGHT 🖒
It will be super easy.... barely an inconvenience!
They did do some odd crossovers with the original Japanese versions of some of these horror films. For instance I've seen 'Sadako vs Kayako' which pits the spirits from Ringu and Ju-on(The Grudge) against eachother. Sadako Vs Godzilla does sound a lot more fun though.
He's not only extremely funny but he also speaks a wonderfully clear English and me as a non native speaker enjoy listening to him. I have learned a lot of English with him
That’s great!
I feel like this fact would be deeply touching to him
Yeah, same feeling here!
Tracher: "So how was today’s English test?" Kid: "Actually it was super easy, barely an inconvenience”
It's wonderfully clear and polite Canadian English!
"...and try to get to the bottom of this"
"And how does that go?"
"Oh not well"
Foreshadowing in pitch meetings is tight.
Also, "bottom of this" and "well" 😉
@@feynstein1004 lmfao
Well, It was a well tho
@@feynstein1004 Yeap! xD
very perceptive...good one
“...yeah that is a little suspicious
And also, she was gray.”
Couldn’t stop laughing
And her jaw was unhinged.
@@melonman6522 wow wow wow
Must be a “hobbitu”
Ok
Thought this comment said gay for a moment.
“Died but someone got her the most thoughtful gift” god that’s hilarious and true
What the hell is with your pfp
@@VicDScott No joy on a reverse image search, and I can't read text that small, but I sure want to know as well as you.
Beautiful name btw
Somebody got her an adorable puppy wrapped in a baby rabbit wrapped in a baby kitten.
"Very inconsiderate" "Very creepy and slightly threatening." I just love the way these Pitch Meetings show all the holes and ignorance of so many plots of so many films. Keep up the awesome work.
except in this case two of the 'plot holes' solve each other :>
how did she get in the closet if she died.
Why didn't she kill him right away.
Well Duhhh pretty obvious she didn't kill the first girl right away but persued her while she tried to hide.
"Oh, movies about rings are super hot right now. Does it have hobbits on it?"
"No. It's an adaptation of a japanese movie, called Ringu."
"oh... okay. So, does it have *hobbitus* on it?"
That part really took me by surprise. Love it.
I didn't fully get it. :(
In Brazil "The Ring" is called "O Chamado". Like, "The Calling".
yeps Hobbit would be something like Hobbitto or Hobittu in japanese
Thanks, u guys. 😁
@@drogadepc Same in Russia - "Звонок" (spelled "zvonOk")
"So it was trouble, I was right."
I'm gonna use this while watching horror movies now.
Using that sentence while watching horro movies is thight
Our new catchphrase
wowowow
well ok then
Fine, you were right. Now can you get allll the way up off my back now?
- “Well she looks like she died but also kinda like someone just got her the most thoughtful gift”. That image was one of the scariest single frames of any film I had ever seen, and now I can't see it without giggling. This guy is magic in all the right ways (:
Please tell me I’m not the only one who says “Barely an inconvenience” along with him
I also repeat those words.
Nope I am too lol
Ever since he started saying it with the exact same intonation and rhythm every time, I haven't been able to resist it.
Saying "super easy, barely an inconvenience" is tight
I do the same.
Samara vs Godzilla
*TAKE MY MONEY NOW!*
A supernatural being that kill you within 7 days vs a giant lizard-like creature that can destroy everything in its path.
I'd watch that for sure. I wonder how Godzilla gonna fit into that well.
In Japan they did make the ring vs the grudge
Yeah, not I feel like I’ve been robbed having not been allowed to see this movie.
geardog24 I’ve never wanted to see something more
@@HarbingersBuddy Godzilla vs king kong vs Samara vs momo
"Well I do have a Samara vs. Godzilla script I can pitch you"
"Um no that sounds awful" lol killed me
"Your loss, sir," was great. :D
I'd watch it. Extraneous crossovers are TIGHT!
I generally try to hold my laughter while watching, cause I'm usually in a public place, but this line broke me.
I would soooo watch that movie.
Wow, wow wow! 💵
For the first time I'm dead at the first line "The Ring, after Ringu"- "Hobbits? Ok how about.. Hobbit-uuus?"
The "Yeah yeah yeah" is far and away his most underrated response. Always hilarious.
I agree! That's my favorite part. I love that!
"Also she was gray" never even wondered why her family never looked into why she was gray. 😄😄😄
or the fact that her face looked like the scream mask
Yeah, having a heart attack does not usually cause instant desiccation of your face. Usually. But I'm not a doctor.
Oh my god, Christal, you can't just ask people why they're gray.
Look I need you to get all the way off my back with this one
She was the Grey Hulk.
Ryan's "wow wow wow wow"'s are always so funny
Can we also talk about his WwWhat?
Also I DON'T KNOW
I love those lol
Easily impressed eh
Wow wow wow
"well I do have a Samara versus Godzilla script"
"nope that sounds awful"
"your loss, sir"
Best dialog ever.
Please do a Pitch Meeting for The Blair Witch Project. It would be super easy, barely an inconvenience.
“So after they finish filming they start heading back to the car, and Heather points the way with the map and compass”
“So they have a map and a compass and a solid understanding of their starting location and destination, getting back to the car should be super easy, barely an inconvenience.”
“It should be but it’s not.”
“But all they have to do is walk in a straight line, point A - point B hypotenuse and all that.”
“Yeah but the guys don’t like that path so they decide to go a different way.”
The Blair Witch Project needs a disclaimer...telling people to take a Dramamine before watching.
"you have 7 days to live"
Me: super easy barely an inconvenience
*Starts binging Pitch Meetings
"Finally it will stop..."
Having 7 days to live is tight!
We just have to pirate the film it’s all g
B randon that escalated quickly 😂
I can't be the only one to want to see 'Samara vs Godzilla".
Can I?
I'd watch it
You can defeat her with a very small travel TV and a fly swat.
@@Rapscallion2009 but does godzilla have either of those things?
Sounds lame.
People who care about either of those franchises would hate it.
I watched Ringu on an old busted up VHS tape with my flatmate and our friend. Was probably the most horrifying experience I had watching films, especially as the VHS tape kept warping and flickering every so often. My flatmate was so petrified after the film that he refused to give our friend a ride home without me being in the car - as he didn't want to be on his own for the drive back to ours. Good times.
Your flatmate was a scaredy cat and a mean friend for not giving him a ride home. You should throw him/her/them down a well.
Japanese horror movies are something else!
"What happens if you watch the tape and you're nowhere near a phone?"
Now I am envisioning singing telegrams being sent to people with the message "Seven Days" sung in a variety of ways and with jazz hands.
"watching people read does make for great cinema"
Only when it’s Gandalf
Indeed, indeed, indeed, indeed.... Am I doing it right?
Good*
watching people read is tight!
Me : “All of them?”
Boss : “All of them.” (stern eyes looking right at me)
Me : 😵
If you see a movie with an interesting, though provoking concept, good chance a Japanese movie already did it.
ALLLLL OFFFFF THEMMMMMM!
@@nahor88 You're dead right on that part. Remember the Mirror shattering scene in Inception? Stolen from Paprika (japanese anime), or the bathtub scene in Requim for a dream? Stolen from Perfect Blue or Monster, can't remember.
I really want to see The Ring Girl vs Godzilla.
@@zidbits1528 Perfect Blue
son: "So the secret to beating the curse is..."
Rachel: "NO! No spoilers!" *hangs up*
"Pretentious artist ghosts are tight!" probably my favorite non-sexual use of that joke.
"And then Rachel gets hit in the head with a TV."
"Whaaaat?"
😂😂😂
Producer guy looked so very confused at that moment. lol
She seems to get hit in the head a lot during this movie.
Yeah, it's kind of a theme.
But she doesn't seem to suffer any long term effects from them.
Nope.
Why?
I dunno!
Well, okay then!
Let's just say that the Japanese version is very different. If it was like the American version I doubt we would have ever heard about it.
@@kaisersoymilk6912 drink your soymilk, hipster.

Screen Rant's Pitch Meeting, is the best series on CZcams!
Oliver Shea YESSSS!!! I agreeeeee!!!!
Pitch Meetings are TIGHT!
Yeah yeah yeah!
Agreed.
Only thing that comes to my mind just a little worse is nba game of zones by bleacher report
0:48 I can't never see that scene without thinking about that now.
Re-watching all these older pitch meetings from months ago is tight!
"What happens if you're no where near a phone?"
Your pager goes off. Obviously...
What happen if you're no where near a pager? Pigeon?
@@hainguyentri6924 Yes.

I used to cover my tv with a blanket after watching this movie, as if that would save me. The day after I saw it in the theater I got a bloody nose....
I've watched all the Pitch Meetings. All of them. I need more.
Wow wow wow wow wow
Same. They are addictive. I haven't even watched some of the movies Ryan pitched
Fair enough.
Surely it must have been really hard to watch them all. (Obvious setup)
@@Squiddyize actually it's super easy, barely an inconvenience. The channel has a playlist with all of the videos so you can binge them
"If he was headed upstairs to electrocute himself, why bother bonking her on the head?"
"I don't know. He felt like bonking her on the head."
"Well okay then."
"Because I put it in the script"
"But why?"
"Because I put it in the script"
I'll need you to get all the way off my back sir
sylverscale I thought it was so she can’t stop him?
I didn't hear the 'on the head' part first time I heard it.
And she didn't die?
Nope!
Well, okay then!
The Ring 1 is one of the scariest film's I've ever seen.
It is genuinely a scary movie.
I watched it while high.
That was a mistake.
Yes
Scaringly bad.
If you mean original Japanese Ringu, then yes. But these American adaptions are generally just bad.
A bit like Dark Water. Even with Jennifer Connely, it was just awful and not much scary.
The original was a masterpiece.
When you remove cultural connections from movies like these, they lost their meaning.
"What if it's spooky?"
"Yeah yeah yeah" 😂
Do Fight Club one of these days as you have Screenwriter Guy and Movie Executive Guy being more alike than they know and then have them realise ...
That's a brilliant idea!
Great idea... Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow
Realize that one of them is actually Edward Norton?
Shan Wickremesinghe genius!
Do you think it will be hard to film that?
"Like someone got her the most thoughtful gift!" LMFAO I never noticed that before but now I can't unsee it XD
"What if you watch the tape and there's not a phone nearby?"
"Unclear."
But where has there ever been a VCR _not_ near a phone?
"oh that's a strange strategy" this is how I feel everytime I watch a horror movie
"So, what does she look like?"
" Well, she looks like she died but also kinda like someone just got her the most thoughtful gift."
If I could laugh any louder or longer at that joke, I think my neighbors would phone the police for help.
JustBrowsing and you would probably get shot by the police
I like the thought of explaining to the police you are concerned for your neighbour because they are laughing.
Funniest part:
"It's part of it, I don't know it's just part of it..."
"Ok, if you say so..."
His delivery...
"She looks like she died, but also like someone just got her the most thoughtful gift..." 😂😂😂
Samara vs Godzilla would be super tight.
Also Godzilla is ALSO Japanese so getting them together would be super easy-barely an inconvenience.
"So...does it have hobbitus?" I died.
Me too!😹
NPC# 8675309 yeah I agree
Making Godzilla watch the tape is honestly a pretty genius way of defeating him
Getting him to answer a phone may be a bit of a challenge though.
@@snowangelnc fish-messenger thing

I love the ending when his implication of remaking every Japanese horror film sounds vaguely threatening. "All of them"

"Most thoughtful gift" - funniest line this year.
"movies about rings are super hot right now"
it felt like i was about to sneeze but got interrupted
"...first year film student's attempt at being edgy."
That about sums up the video tape......and first year film students.
Also sums up a good chunk of horror movies.
I'm a first-year film student, and honestly, I had no intention of being edgy, but some of our professors not only encourage, but demand the edginess. It's quite annoying to be completely honest.
@@notAshildr Well,......I guess....be edgy! ;-)

Isn't that DeFranco movie a two hour long pitch meeting?
I think Halloween episode was supposed to be a horror movie, not a horrible movie.
It's famously self-made
It fits with the pitch meeting format because he is both people so he could be pitching to himself
I want to see Dark City or Videodrome ...
2:27 "Because what if it's spooky?" Brilliant

True story: I watched The Ring at friend's house when I was 12 or 13. In the middle of the movie the phone rang and we all started arguing over who should answer it. His parents answered it in the other room so we were all relieved. But then they shouted that the phone was for me!

These Pitch videos are better than any antidepressant. You really have found a funny and legitimate entertaining niche. Very believable you are two instead of one. I imagine having coffee with both of these characters. Keep it up!
"up to her I guess" lmao
I always anticipate the "super easy, barely an inconvenience" part so I'd say it along

That closet scene traumatized us all
I remember watching this at the movie theater when i lived in oregon and the theater was huge and packed and when the closet scene happened everyone in the theater screamed at once
They really gave us no time to look away t happened so fast and with no warning
Most jump scares it seems there is some kind of forboding but not this time just BAAAAMMMMM
These are the best things on CZcams hands down!
Weird, the way I remember the movie Leslie Nielsen pushed the ghost girl down a well.

Absolutely!
Except Ryan George's own channel. They are equally as brilliant x
If the Ring was made in 2021:
