In the original published script for  the Ring were several scenes that never made it into the film, or that appeared in a different form. Below is a complete breakdown for each scene, with links to the longer ones that have been translated in their entirety. Please note that (with one exception, noted below) I have no information on whether any of these were actually shot.

The conversation between Asakawa and Komiya the cameraman ends with Asakawa announcing that she will take the tape of that day's footage home in order to look it over.

Following the conversation with her aunt, Asakawa gazes over at the coffin of the late Tomoko, remembering her aunt's words: "They haven't once opened the casket to let us see the body. Don't you think that's strange?" Asakawa suddenly comes to, and notices that Yoichi is missing. She calls out to her father concernedly.

Asakawa arrives at the station for a meeting with Yoshino, the reporter who shows her footage of Tsuji Yoko and Nomi Takehiko being pulled from their car.  Read the scene

Asakawa arrives at the house of her sister Ryomi. When Asakawa begins walking up toward Tomoko's room, there was originally a flashback to a younger Yoichi and Tomoko running down the hallway laughing, with a stern-faced Asakawa peering around the corner telling them to cut it out. The laughter, by the way, actually remains in the finished print -- if you turn up the volume, you can faintly hear it in the background.

In the movie Asakawa opens the unlocked door and walks in, while the script makes reference to her opening the door with a key that she has somehow obtained.

Asakawa returns home after having viewed the cursed video.  Read the scene

Takayama Ryuji teaches a class attended by Takano Mai.  Read the scene

Asakawa returns from the library upon finding the article.  Read the scene

Upon hearing Ryuji's explanation of why Yamamura Shizuko killed herself, Hayatsu pipes up that the only one knowledgeable on the history of the Yamamuras is Shizuko's cousin, Yamamura Takashi...and that he is hardly the talkative type.

Kazue the inkeeper hands Ryuji a faded photograph of Shizuko and Professor Ikuma, followed by this exchange:

This scene is slightly different from the scene as it appears in the film, beginning with the epithets that are being hurled. "We didn't come here to see trickery!" shouts one reporter. "You're being fooled, Professor!" shouts another. "Either that, or you're in on this whole charade." Also, Shizuko's line when the young Sadako makes her appearance is rather more ambiguous: instead of asking "Sadako! Was it you?!" Shizuko merely cries, "Sadako! Sadako!"

Ryuji is seated at his desk, having already found and corrected Mai's change to his mathematical formulae. He receives a visit from a most unwelcome visitor, with an interesting twist to the version that made it into the final film.  Read the scene

NOTE: Director Nakata has indicated that the idea for this scene was cut prior to filming.

Asakawa arrives in time to see a squad car pull up, and the covered form of a body being hauled away. She races forward, breaking free of those that would stop her and rushing up toward the cadaver. She yanks the sheet back...and stands, rooted to the spot. The face of Takayama Ryuji is staring back at her.

Asakawa meets a near-catatonic Mai in the hallway. In a scene resembling that from the novel, Mai sheds a little extra light on her and Ryuji's relationship.  Read the scene

Asakawa enters Ryuji's apartment, desperate for clues.  Read the scene

The identity of the figure with the towel over its head is revealed in the original script. In the scene where Asakawa returns to her apartment, she looks up to find this person standing half-hidden in the shadows, "its clothes the same as those last worn by Ryuji" (screenplay, p. 141). She even addresses this figure by name, crying out "Ryuji!"

Trivia: The picture menu cap for this page is a shot from Ring Ø that didn't make the final cut.
