ROY LEE (Producer) earned his first motion picture producing credit as Executive Producer on Gore Verbinski’s 2002 blockbuster The Ring.  He went on to produce the 2004 haunted house horror The Grudge, which, upon its October 2004 release, broke the record for the biggest opening weekend of all time for a horror film.
