Kristanna Loken (Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines), Benno Furmann (The
Order) and Alicia Witt will star in the $23 million movie The Ring, inspired by
Teutonic myth and Richard Wagner's Ring of the Nibelung cycle of operas, Variety
reported. Furmann stars as Siegfried, with Loken playing Brunhilde, and Witt
as Kriemhild, the trade paper reported. Julian Sands and Max von Sydow also
star.

Rola Bauer and Tim Halkin of Munich-based Tandem Communications are executive
producing the project, with financial backing from fellow Munich financier
VIP Media Funds, the trade paper reported. The Ring is set to start shooting
Nov. 17 in Cape Town, South Africa.

Uli Edel is directing, from a screenplay by Diane Duane and Peter Morwood, in
cooperation with Edel, from a story by Robert Cochran.
