Sam Raimi's next project

There's a new Sarah Michelle Gellar movie coming out called The Grudge.

My first inclination is to scream "Ring ripoff", but the similarities seem to be coincidental. Both deal with dead antagonists, both are western remakes of eastern films (In this case "the Grudge" is based on a film called "Ju-on"). Hell even this picture here, seems mighty familiar:

One neat difference is that the man behind the many Ju-on films Takashi Shimizu is actually directing the American version. Not to mention Evil Dead's own Sam Raimi producing. I'm optimistic.
