Not much detail though on how much her character would be used or not but he really had nice things to say about her personally. I'm guessing because they are already working on the script and they don't even know if she's coming back or not that her role won't be a very big one this time around.

This comment contains a reference to the end of the film so I'm trying the spoiler tags.

I'm all for characters coming back from the dead, and I'm all for SMG working as much as she likes. That said, I think the movie is scarier (and better) if her character dies at the end. I guess it would be cool if she were the monster.

It's all spoiler for The Grudge:
I really think that someone else should take over the lead in the next movie. It's of course not that I don't like Sarah, I love her. But it would be wrong for The Grudge 2. Part of The Grudge mythology is sort of like "No one escapes, everybody dies, it sucks to be you". If Sarah would return she would have survived and that would be so very wrong. So get a few new characters to kill and also, kill the cops from the last movie before the credits.

I´m agree with you, Djungelurban.

I totally agree with Biff and Djungelurban.

Thanks Djungelurban, you said what I meant to say. (Looking back at what I wrote originally, it sounds like I'm contradicting myself).
I meant that I think it's great that Buffy, Angel, Spike etc. came back from the dead, it all works with their stories. Karen, on the other hand, could really only come back as a grudge-holding ghost if the movie were to stay true to itself.
But then, Djungelurban said that already.

I agree with the invisible comments, although it depends on what they do with it. I suppose it's possible to come up with an interesting angle.

Funny how they went from "she MIGHT return in SOME capacity" to "we'd love to have her if she wants to do it!" in about a week...ah, Hollywood.

In reference to the invisi-comments, it is one or the other. You can't have both things happen and be internally consistent to the story (as Djungelurban said). From an utterly selfish point of view, I would like to see SMG more on screen and if this was the only way (sorry, neither Revolver nor Southland Tales seem like the type of movie I watch), then I would take that and pretend that I didn't have the above thought. Hey, I can be inconsistent too!

the movie was awesome and i would love to see her back.....cant wait.

Well on the commentary for the first Grudge, one of the other cast/crew members says to Sarah, ''So Sarah did you ____" And Sarah responds very oddly....''I can't say." Fill in the blank with the spoiler people :).
