Sissy Spacek is returning to the horror genre -- where she enjoyed one of her earliest successes as the telekinetic heroine of 1976's "Carrie" -- as she steps into "The Ring 2" for DreamWorks and director Hideo Nakata.
The Oscar-winning actress joins Naomi Watts and Simon Baker in the film, due to start shooting in mid-May. It's unclear exactly who she will play in the ongoing tale of a mysterious videotape that proves fatal to viewers because the script is being closely guarded; sources close to the film said the filmmakers want to keep a level of mystery around Spacek's character.
She was totally creepy in "Carrie." I'm sure she won't let us down this time either.

She's always worth watching, and instantly gives credibility to the sequel. I probably wouldn't have bothered with it before hearing this.

I place Spacek in a VERY small group of actresses who constantly give magnificent performaces. Spacek, Streep, Redgrave, Dench, and that is about it. I can't think of one shitty performance in her filmography.
I also love how she, like Meryl Streep, put acting behind raising a family. If a role interfered with the lives of her children, she turned the role down. That, and her constant refusal to play the diva, makes her a class act.
PS. There was no way Halle deserved to win the Oscar over Spacek's performance in "In the Bedroom."

She has been excellent in everything from "Carrie" to "Coal Miner's Daughter" - - I haven't seen "The Ring - part one", but will probably give it a view now that part two will feature her - - thanks for the info :)
