Hideo Nakata (中田秀夫 Nakata Hideo, born July 19, 1961, in Okayama) is a Japanese film director
Nakata most familiar works to Western audiences are Ringu, Ringu 2 and Dark Water. Ringu was later remade in America as The Ring. Nakata was scheduled to make his English-language debut with True Believers, but later pulled out; he was soon offered, by DreamWorks, to direct the movie, The Ring Two, the sequel to The Ring —which, in turn, is the American film remake of his own Ringu 2— which he accepted, making The Ring Two his English-language debut.
