Don't Look Up (女優霊 Joyû-rei) is a 1996 Japanese horror film directed by Hideo Nakata. The film set in a film studio where a War film is being made. On looking at the dailies during production, a scene is spotted that involves a scene without sound from an earlier film. This scene involves a horrified woman onscreen, with another woman, out of focus, laughing in the back. The footage looks familiar to the young director Murai, who insists he had seen it previously as a young boy. The film was made by Hideo Nakata while trying to fund production for his documentary film about director Joseph Losey. It was not a success in Japan, but prompted an English-language remake in 2009 which was directed by Fruit Chan. The film also influenced the creative choices Nakata would have for his popular film Ring in 1998.
