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.

    • First time clicking on a Sayan Sen article after he started making clickbait, vague headlines recently. Didn't read, just came here to say the headline doesn't look like very cheap, vague clickbait this time. Are you okay?
    • Good review, and yeah the benchmark breakdown is pretty clear but also a little messy in a good way. It’s kinda interesting to see where the RX 9070 GRE slides in between the 7800 XT and the 9070 XT , especially when it comes to AI tasks and Blender style workloads. The side by side with Nvidia’s RTX 5070 and 4070 makes it feel obvious just how competitive the mid range GPU scene has gotten lately, and that’s great for creators and gamers too since you can pick based on your priorities rather than only chasing one single thing.
    • That's it. I finally uninstalled Firefox because they often keep pushing buggy updates, only to test them later and make users suffer. No longer is it my alternative browser to Edge. What a waste of energy. Firefox is bad for the environment, just like Chrome (wasting RAM/energy).
    • Microsoft Weekly: new Surface, Windows 11 26H2, and more by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft announcing Windows 11 version 26H2, launching new Surface devices powered by Snapdragon X2 processors, GTA VI preorder date and cover art, fresh Windows 11 preview builds, a quirky phone-sized e-reader with a physical dial, and more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. Windows 11 version 26H2 is now official. Alongside Windows 11's new preview builds released this week, Microsoft confirmed version 26H2, which is coming later this year as an enablement package based on the same platform as versions 24H2 and 25H2. A newly published blog post details what IT admins should do to prepare for the upcoming launch. Next, we have new Windows 11 bugs. Users report that this month's security updates for Windows 11 cause all sorts of issues, including BitLocker bugs, OneDrive issues, black screens of death, and third-party integration in Office apps. Microsoft has not confirmed those yet, but it acknowledged other issues with its operating system. What Microsoft has confirmed is a bug where Recycle Bin delete prompts display internal file names instead of actual ones, and a year-old Windows JScript compatibility bug caused by security-focused engine changes. Moving to more positive news, Microsoft and Adobe are working on improving Windows performance in popular creative apps like Photoshop. Thanks to SPGO optimizations, users can expect up to 20% better performance. Finally, we have a few useful articles that can help you recover your PC or make it perform better. For one, we published a guide detailing what to do if your computer cannot boot after a clean Windows 11 install. There are two important steps you can try to get your system back to working in no time. Additionally, there is a more detailed guide on various CPU performance modes that could notably improve performance. Windows Insider Program Here is what Microsoft released for Windows Insiders this week: Builds Canary Channel Builds 28120.2315 and 29613.1000 These two builds include a new built-in audio driver, improvements to audio Settings, and more. Dev Channel Builds 26300.8697 and 26220.8690 Not much is available here. Some File Explorer improvements, Start menu enhancements, bug fixes, and more. However, build 26300.8697 is now officially marked as version 26H2. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. This week, Microsoft announced its newest Surface devices powered by Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon X2 processors. There is the 12th-gen Surface Pro and the 8th-gen Surface Laptop. Both devices feature little to no visual differences compared to their predecessors from 2024, and most changes hide inside, including a better processor, faster graphics, enhanced NPUs, and more. The Surface Laptop also received a new haptic trackpad. Mozilla is currently working on a major Firefox redesign, and earlier this week, it published a roadmap of upcoming features and highlights of the upcoming "Project Nova" rework. Files, one of the best file managers for Windows 10 and 11, has been updated in the Preview channel with a long-requested feature. Tree View is finally available in version 4.1.4, allowing you to quickly browse deeply nested folders without leaving the main view. In addition, the update improved the Windows Fonts folder, allowing you to preview each font without opening the default viewer. Rufus, another useful Windows 11 utility, also received a notable update. Version 4.15 arrived as beta with important fixes for silent Windows 11 installation. It also includes patches for ARM-based Windows PCs, OneDrive removal improvements, and more.

Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week Earlier this week, we reviewed the DuRoBo Krono, a portable, phone-sized e-reader with some interesting physical controls. This device has an Apple Watch-like dial for page turning, frontlight adjustment, and more. Software is simple and no-nonsense, but it also lacks some useful features and customization. Overall, the device proved interesting, but not flawless. On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. Forza Horizon 6 received two big updates this week. Alongside the Series 2 content update, developers pushed plenty of bug fixes and balancing tweaks. However, they also had to acknowledge the Eliminator CR-farming exploit and shut down the online mode temporarily. Luckily, only a few days later, another fix arrived, which re-enabled Eliminator and patched the exploit. Microsoft announced new games for Game Pass subscribers. Those include EA Sports FC 26, Junkster, Call of Duty: Vanguard, Abyssus, RV There Yet?, and more. Some existing games are leaving the catalog, so be sure to check out the full list here. New games are also available for GeForce NOW subscribers, and they include Embers of the Uncrowned Demo, Aphelion, Megastore Simulator, OPERATOR, Citizen Sleeper, and more. Rockstart Games had plenty of GTA-related news this week. For one, the company gave GTA V players another free update. Those still playing the game on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are no longer required to pay $40 to upgrade to the latest-gen version. More importantly, Rockstar Games revealed the GTA VI cover art and announced the preorder date. The Epic Games Store is giving away two games: Citizen Sleeper and Roboeat.
