So I got a copy of the Saw IV screenplay and just finished reading it. There were a lot of scenes missing from the final film, I think it is safe to say that these things will be in Saw V, but who knows? This does answer a lot of questions. I'm going to use spoiler tags since these might be answered in future films...

  • When they found Kerry's body, Hoffman was on a cell phone trying to comfort, what was apparently, a child.
  • During the Trevor and Art trap, they show Trevor tearing an eye open, and he dies by the chains pulling him too close to the machine, snapping his neck, rather than by Art killing him. They also show Art finding the tape recorder right after the trap, rather than waiting until the end of the movie.
  • They keep showing a hooded man setting up the Morgan/Rex trap, and the Ivan motel room trap without showing who it is.
  • Rigg tells Hoffman that he wouldn't go home until he found Eric, saying "I made that promise to Daniel."
  • They show pictures hung up in the police precinct of Tapp and Sing, with the message ?Your sacrifice will never be forgotten?.
  • The script actually reads that Perez is taking a liking to Hoffman.
  • Hoffman was looking at photos of Danica, Judge, and Tim while writing Amanda's letter.
  • Hoffman's trap has him hanging on a meat hook, with the pool of water collecting under him. The idea was that once time ran out, he would release from the hook, and fall into the water, electrocuting him. They didn't have it where stepping off the ice block changed the balance of the structure of anything like that.
  • Jigsaw's tape to Rigg about Brenda actually warns him "if given the chance, this person will kill you".
  • The classroom for the Rex and Morgan trap is the same one from Troy's trap, and its significance in Rigg finding it is in the notion of "Become the teacher and teach her how to save a life".
  • In Jigsaw's first lair, when he shows it to Jill, he had miniature versions of all his future traps, all having been performed on rats, with mangled rats all over the room.
  • Ivan's last name is Landsness, and the daughter of Rex and Morgan is named Jane.
  • Eric still thinks Amanda is being everything, because Art is initially walking around the room in a hood. Eric asks Hoffman if the junkie bitch got him too, and keeps yelling at the hooded Art as if it was Amanda. "You ****ing bitch, etc..."
  • At one point when Eric jumps off the ice block, Art comes over to him and Eric swings his legs around Arts neck, trying to break it and they fight for a little while.
  • Jigsaw was setting up a TV in front of Cecil, and Cecil woke up early, so then John just played a remote that turned the TV on, and there was a doll message for Cecil, without the whole conversation that he and John actually had.
  • Cecil's chair actually broke; to John's surprise....he didn't win his game.
  • After Cecil got caught in the razor wire, John watched and started drawing the trap that would eventually be for Paul.
  • In the motel, with Ivan and the dog, was a dude sleeping on the floor called Vagrant. In the script, when Jigsaw takes the cover off the glass coffin, it is this man who is in the coffin. You can see his picture by looking up the cast on IMDB.
  • When Hoffman shuts the door on Strahm in the sick room, he uses his cell phone to call the precinct, and summon the officers there as if he had just stumbled upon the crime scene.
  • When the officers arrive at this Saw III lair, Hoffman comes out, with Corbett, saying he saved her. Then they show flashbacks of Corbett in her locked up room, with a speaker playing Hoffman's voice when he called her earlier (from Kerry?s crime scene). They never actually show where she was, but its ends up that Hoffman keeps her with him, comforting her as if he is her dad.

We've been tipped off that Tobin Bell, Scott Patterson and Costas Mandylor will all return in Lionsgate's Saw V, which is slated for release on October 24, 2007. Now here lies the problem... I have absolutely no way of confirming this news. In the past we've been scooped names (*cough* Donnie Wahlberg) that have all been denied, only to be come a reality in the end. So take it for what it's worth, more flashback, a new future and more pain from Jigsaw and his creations. Watch for more updates as it comes in. Saw V will be directed by David Hackl off a script by Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton.

We picked this news up about a week ago and have been trying to confirm, but the problem with Lionsgate is they will deny or refuse to comment on everything related to the Saw franchise. We learned that Tobin Bell, Scott Patterson and Costas Mandylor are all rumoured to be returning in Saw 5, which has David Hackl attached to direct from a new screenplay by Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan. Although we cannot confirm this news, I can tell you that we've broken casting news on the past three Saw films that ALL turned out to be true - even when Lionsgate denied our claims (putting eggs in our face for no reason). I guess you have to protect the twists, so who can blame 'em?

Oh come on. Saw IV was horrible. We need a better horror movie to knock the Saw franchise out of dominating the Halloween weekend next year. Can't anyone come up with anything original anymore? Four years in a row is quite enough, please and thank you.

Stop making any more Saw movies, I think it's getting too repetitive now.

Please REMAKE Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Alone in the Dark, or do a Diablo movie or something instead, and make it Better

p.S: Next time you promote the movie with a HOT nurse, put her in the movie NAKED!

I SUE YOU for false advertising!!! :p

I thought Saw IV was far better than III. My rankings: I, IV + II tied, III.

People actually liked Saw II? For some reason, I just hated that one. It just seemed like a typical horror movie; lock a bunch of completely different people in a house and watch them die one by one. I always thought the rest of the Saw series was slightly more advanced than the basic Saw II plot.

I agree that it seemed like a typical teen horror movie, but I just loved the way it was presented.

+1.

Saw I was great because of the twist, in spite of the horrible acting job by Elwes. After that, people are looking for that "twist".

II and IV were good attempts at attaching some sort of story to essentially a slasher film.

III was kinda limp. It seemed to somewhat set up the "twist" at the end of IV, but other than that... meh.

The rule for bumping threads is that as long as you bump a thread with useful information, then there's no issue. Rappy posted useful news from Bloody Disgusting regarding casting for Saw V. So what's the issue? We prefer he do that than have three separate threads regarding the same thing.

I don't really want to get into an argument over this, so let's just have our own opinions and not derail the thread :)

I wasn't aware that we were fighting. :|

I didn't think asking for one explanation would throw a whole topic out of whack, but I guess we just see things differently.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft officially confirmed Windows 11 version 26H2 with the latest build, 26300.8697, for testing in the experimental Insider channel. The company also published more details about it mainly directed towards IT admins and system admins. Essentially version 26H2 will be delivered via an enablement package (eKB) over Windows 11 25H2. If you are wondering about some of the upcoming features in the next Windows version, one of them is certainly very interesting as Microsoft has confirmed it is finally bringing one of the most overwhelmingly requested features ever. March Rogers, the Partner Director of Design at Microsoft, recently highlighted some of the Search improvements that the company is testing, and during the interaction with users on X where he posted it, Rogers also confirmed that the company is working on disabling web search results inside Search. This is something which many users find quite annoying as Windows would often serve them links to Bing which it feels could be more helpful rather than bringing up the actual object or app the user may be searching for on their PC. Finally though the company is prioritizing local file search over the web. However the feature could not be disabled for many users as not all new features are immediately rolled out to everyone. Image via phantomofearth (X) Windows enthusiast phantomofearth who likes to dig deep into new builds uncovered the IDs you will need to enable these features. Using the following feature IDs the new Search-related features landing in Windows 11 26H2 can be used. Follow the steps below to enable the new Search experience on Windows 11 build 26300.8697: Download ViveTool from GitHub and unpack the files in a convenient and easy-to-find folder. Press Win + X and select Terminal (Admin). Switch Windows Terminal to the Command Prompt profile with the Ctrl + Shift + 2 shortcut or by clicking the arrow-down button at the top of the window. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id: and press Enter. Restart your computer. If you change your mind and want to restore, repeat the steps above and replace /enable with /disable in the commands on steps 5 and 6. Delightedly and perhaps also expectedly, once you disable web search and other such bloat, the Windows 11 Search is said to get snappier as remarked by another Windows enthusiast Xeno.
