Mystery Characters Returning For SAW VII

As with every year, fans ask questions. One of those is what characters(If any) will return to the next SAW film. I hadn't planned on leakin the info just yet, to maintain the surprise, but I know there will be some people who want to know. For those who want very little spoiled, all I'll say is that two extremely significant characters(One of whom's storyline was previously implied to be overwith) will make a comeback in the last installment of the SAW series. For those of you who want to know, beware,this is a huge spoiler!

Highlight text to reveal spoilers.

[SPOILER]The two returning characters(Among regulars like Hoffman and Jill) are Adam and...Dr. Gordon! Also, Seth Baxter(Pendulum trap - SAW V), Michael(Venus Flytrap - SAW II), and other older characters will be returning. [/SPOILER]

There you have it! SAW VII hits theaters October 29th.

SAW VII Updates[Spoilers!]

Unless you've been living under a rock since SAW VI hit the big screen, then you know that it's almost time for SAW again, which will be in mind-blowing 3D this year. What you may not know, is that this year's installment will be the final chapter. According to numerous reports and cast and crew interviews, the series, which began in 2004, had originally been planned to hit eight films, and possibly even nine. But, as with every year, this was based on box office performance, and SAW VI did surprisingly poorly when pitted against Paranormal Activity in the box office last year. That spells bad news for SAW fans. Lionsgate is cutting their losses after this year. The storylines planned for SAW VIII have now been incorporated into SAW VII(Or "SAW 3D"), and this will be the last film in the series that forced test subjects to "live or die". Being that this is the last film, it seems as though the people behind the movies are finally giving up some long-sought answers too. The plot is as follows:

As a deadly battle rages over Jigsaw’s brutal legacy, a group of Jigsaw survivors gathers to seek the support of self-help guru and fellow survivor Bobby Dagen, a man whose own dark secrets unleash a new wave of terror...

SAW 3D stars Tobin Bell, Cary Elwes, Costas Mandylor, Betsy Russell, Sean Patrick Flannery, and others.  SAW 3D is directed by Kevin Greutert, produced by Oren Koules, Mark Burg and Gregg Hoffman. 

For those interested, a few interesting characters have been confirmed as returning for Jigsaw's final game, one of which is the most-anticipated return of the franchise, Dr. Gordon. This much is certain, SAW VII is going to be one wild ride. Fans won't wanna miss this year's installment. Check back for more info as it becomes available.




SAW VII hits theaters in heart-pounding 3D October 29th.

SAW V Script Pages Leaked - Amanda Lives?

The first four pages of the SAW V script have been leaked online! They haven't been confirmed as real or fake yet, but they are the same color as the first drafts of the previous SAW scripts, and the writing style is the exact same. These are most likely the real deal!

Director David Hackl Talks 'SAW V' With B-D!

With the announcement that Lionsgate will bring SAW V to theaters on October 24, 2008, Bloody-Disgusting dropped in a call to our new director, David Hackl, to get a statement for you guys.

"You have to realize that I am probably one of the biggest Saw fans out there. My team and I are the ones who have had the awesome task of designing and building the Saw traps since Saw II. So now I'm about to helm Saw V. I'm as psyched as anyone could be. You can let the fans know that they won't be let down or I will have let myself down. Jigsaw might be dead but that would never stop him and it certainly won't stop me. ...My work has just begun."

Watch for the regular coverage to begin as soon as casting is announced.

SAW V To Explain Billy The Puppet

He’s been part of the movie series since the beginning, but although Jigsaw (Tobin Bell) is dead the significance of Billy the Puppet has never been truly explained. In the forthcoming SAW movies however, his importance will be revealed as will the real meaning of his tricycle.

“I can tell you that the tricycle that has appeared in all four ‘Saw’ films has a very simple and human explanation to it which I hope that in V and VI we will both understand and have a window into,” said Bell. “The origins of Billy, the meaning of that, I think you will see when you see IV that we’ve started to enter into that area. I think there is some marvelous storyline yet to be told.”

The SAW franchise has already lasted four movies and some fans are asking the question why has Bell decided to deal with these elements now. The answer quite simply is because there are fans out there that do want to know their meaning and because they are integral to the stories.

“I think those two objects are simple things and everyone kind of has seen Billy since the beginning,” he continued. “Well, what is that? And why? Although perhaps you don’t think about it, it has its effect on you. He has his effect and the tricycle has its effect when it enters the scene. I’m interested to show what those origins are. I think fans are really interested in known what the origins of very specific moments, especially Saw fans who are into the details. They just are. I’m always impressed with that.”

Ending Already Written for SAW V

The biggest thrills of the SAW movies are their surprise endings, which seem to keep audiences guessing even more than M. Night Shyamalan's latest creations. That's why the producers of the SAW sequels are starting there and working backwards.

Oren Koules said in an interview,

"We just basically locked down the ending about a month ago so it's working off of what happens from there. There's nothing guaranteed. It's really Mark [Burg] and I looking at each other and saying, 'Okay, this story works, let's go.' When it doesn't, we won't go. We'll miss a year, we'll miss two years. It's two things: If we have a story that works and the fans want to see it. It's such a simple equation. Right now we're working on some things on V. There's nothing definitive."

Burg may even have plans to make SAW V and SAW VI at the same time, though coming up with two shocking, surprising scripts for one epic shoot may not be possible (especially now with the WGA in full effect). This plan also hinted at which characters from SAW IV might become the focus of a SAW V.

"It was an idea of ours to try and keep the cast together because it's really difficult with Scott [Patterson] doing a TV series and other people doing other shows that we're going to try to. I'd say it's not out of the question but it's going to be really hard for us to get the screenplay to Saw VI where we want it to be to be able to do it."

If SAW V does go ahead, it looks like Jigsaw will remain a factor. Despite having his head on a morgue scale on the posters for SAW IV, Koules wants actor Tobin Bell back for "as many as he wants."

The boys know that they won't always be making a SAW movie a year. They're prepared to accept their fate when the grosses go down.

Koules says,

"I think we'll all know. As of the tracking, as of today and as of everything else right now, we're still rolling. Listen, we're surprised. There's going to be a day we wake up, we don't have a $25 million weekend, we have a $4 million weekend. We're fine. We own the films. We're okay."

SAW V Still On Track for 2008

After reports that the SAW franchise would finally take a year off, producer Mark Burg countered that he's still aiming for October 2008 to unleash SAW.

"This is the first time we've actually started developing story ideas before a movie came out. We have a really good take for where we want to go with the next one but it's not good enough yet. My goal is to have another Saw movie next year. However, if the script doesn't come together, then we won't. We've got a really close idea. We've got two thirds of a really good idea but I've spent the last weeks, four hours a day, meeting with the writers to flesh it all out."

Should all go according to plan, co-producer Oren Koules wants to take October 2008 to the next level.

"I would be surprised if we're not out for '08. The only argument is I want to play on Halloween day because 10/31 next year is Friday. They want to go 10/24. It's a big debate. We're '08 unless something dramatic happens. We have a pretty good story. We're not there yet but we have a really good story."

SAW V set to begin filming after Christmas

Sources indicate that the fifth installment in the SAW franchise, SAW V, will be going into production just after Christmas. The newest director, David Hackl(Production desiger for SAW II-SAW IV, second unit director for SAW III and SAW IV), told MoviesOnline.com that Thomas Fenton, Patrick Melton, and Marcus Dunstan are currently working on the script and they will be going into production after Christmas. It seems like, contrary to popular rumors, SAW V is prepping for a 2008 release!

SAW V and SAW VI Shooting Back-to-Back, Year Off?

Nothing has been confirmed yet, but there as been a rumor going around that next year, 2008, there will not be a SAW film.

Bloody-Disgusting learned of some really interesting information last night that was quasi-confirmed. We know for a fact that Lionsgate is now planning on shooting both SAW V and SAW VI back-to-back with David Hackl attached to direct (details here), but something we're awaiting confirmation on is whether or not Jigsaw is taking a year off to breathe. We were told that as of right now Lionsgate is planning on skipping October 2008 for the next Saw film, although that news is yet to be confirmed. Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton, who wrote SAW IV, are developing the screenplays for both sequels. The fourth installment is in theaters now.

SAW V and SAW VI Director Already Signed!

A bit late on the news, but better late than never!

Your #1 source for all things horror, Bloody-Disgusting, has just confirmed through multiple sources that David Hackl, the production designer on Saw II, Saw III and Saw IV and second unit director on Saw II and Saw IV has OFFICIALLY been attached to helm both Lionsgate's Saw V and Saw VI, assuming a hole doesn't form in the Earth and suck the franchise in with it.

All the SAW IV clips so far

Now that SAW IV is out, I wanted to get a list of all the clips that are out. Obviously, these videos will spoil a scene for you, so if you're trying to avoid any spoilers until you see the movie, or if you haven't seen the movie yet, my best advice is to go into this movie blind, and not see anything. I read one or two spoilers, and this movie still blindsided me and amazed me. It messed with my senses and was an awesome movie. Thanks to Bloody-Disgusting, Myspace, Youtube, and Reelzchannel for all clips.

SAW IV makes 32.1 Million!

Ah, Another year, Another SAW Film, Another success.

Opening weekend, SAW IV pulled in over $32.1 million, just in those three days! Rack up another success for Lionsgate and the SAW crew.

As Leer stated in his SAW blog, I loved SAW IV and since they are already working on SAW V I'm starting the hype train up again already. Although I did hype SAW IV like crazy, telling everybody I saw, even complete strangers, I was still a bit skeptical as to how the team could pull off SAW IV. But it managed to be amazingly awesome and refresh my faith in the series. So, hopefully, expect to see coverage of SAW V like I had for SAW II, because now I am HELL OF EXCITED for another flick. I can't wait really.

Go see SAW IV, in theaters now!
