I was rather looking forward to it myself, though personally after reading the Japanese novel (translated, of course) and also reading a manga based on the original novel (also translated. It's by Misao Inagaki if anyone is interested) I think I prefer the Japanese version, and am quite interested in watching that, as I enjoyed the book more than the American film.
I'll probably still go to see Ring 2, if only because I've been looking forward to it.
