Saw V

[Hurmoth]

Why not just go all out and have the baddie as jigsaws son...

John's child was killed in Saw IV, and that was clearly his only child, by the way he reacted.

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.

I see where the conversation is going is my point. It's going to get into an argument. Have your own opinion, I'll have mine, that's all I'm saying :)

I just don't get you. No offense but how many times have we had this discussion now? Any time I ask you for a further explanation you always say it is leading into a fight. I don't work like that and hate people who do.

[Ayepecks]

Oh my goodness. Fine, I will respond. But remember: you said you're not going to turn this into an argument.

Saw II was a good movie because it was presented well and had interesting twists on the common teen horror movies. The acting and directing were both top-notch, and while the whole 'we're stuck in a house thing' is a little cliche, the circumstances that they were there all worked beautifully, and the "tests" all complimented them perfectly. Minus the cliche setting as I said, the characters were all believable, and the twists worked (without giving anything away for people who haven't seen the film). I also thought the ending was perfect, unlike Saw III's ending. Saw III had some nice moments and nice tension, but the "traps" and people were just silly, and it didn't work. You really felt no emotion or no tension, it was just gore for gore's sake.

I cannot wait for Saw V, so many unanswered questions.

I want to find out what happens to Jeffs daughter, why John and his wife split, how was Hoffman recruited, whether Riggs is still alive etc.

Have we ever found out what happened to Gordon after he cut his foot off and escaped? What about the letter that Amanda was reading in Saw III?

:D

Thanks. Now I can see a little better why you choose what you did.

At Brash Entertainment's recent press event, IGN UK received word that a game based on the Saw movie franchise is still in development. This information was delivered to them through a teaser trailer that featured the Jigsaw puppet explaining that we as game journalists were wasting our lives in the industry -- so we'll take his word for it. Scheduled for a release in October of 2009, the game will weave in and out of the Saw movie plotlines and will be an intricate collaboration between the development studio and the filmmakers. While this is really all the information we have on the title at the moment, we should note that the game will be running on the Unreal III engine and will likely be released on PS3 and 360. Until more info i released you can watch the official website for updates.

Rappy: I saw that today too and just laughed. Talk about the stupidest idea for a game ever. How will that get by with anything less than an M rating?

[Rappy Veteran]

Yeah the concept will just be weird but it may do very well.

I think it is in the same boat is the Jackass game for PSP. It took a concept that something was funny when it was real, but to do stunts a "person" in a game like that takes all the comedy out of it.

For Saw how could they do what everybody knows Saw is famous people (the horrifying puzzles). I can already hear the media yelling how this game could corrupt youth....

[Rappy Veteran]

Yeah its the next Manhunt!

You're not sick of hearing about Jigsaw and his insane traps? Good to hear, because David Hackl is gearing up to direct his first film, Saw V, for Lionsgate. He's ready to chat and has a lot of good things to say, you can read it all inside. Saw V arrives in theaters October 24 from a screenplay by Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton.

Director David Hackl tells us that filming is only a month away. "We are five weeks from shooting, we are deep in prep now and the production offices are buzzing. On Monday our construction team begins to fill our newly renovated 38 thousand square foot studio (The same place that we shot Bousman's Repo! only cleaned up)."

Directing your first movie is an exciting moment, and Hackl is dreaming of a bright future. "It still amazes me when I look into an empty studio knowing that it will be full within a couple of weeks. Tony Ianni has moved into my old spot as production designer with zeal."

As for the traps, Hackl tells us that these are actually going to be dangerous! "Yesterday he (Tony Ianni) handed me a "reference" DVD from Jason Ehl our trap builder. I opened it just before leaving the office to go have my birthday dinner with my wife and kids. The disc was full of real life "inspiration" from industrial accidents, plane crashes and road disasters," he continues, "I almost hurled on my laptop. It all came from a discussion that we were having about the fact that the human body doesn't actually lose that much blood after the heart stops beating. It actually acts like a vessel, containing the blood unless there is an injury that allows it to drain downward. I like attention to detail." I winder how the cast will react to the news that a trap could actually kill them!? "Today I am looking forward to making a phone call to one of our cast to ask him how he feels about getting into a trap that could potentially kill him. For real. Of course we will make it as safe as we can and have paramedics standing by while we shoot. Its not like he really has an option and maybe it will make him appreciate his life. Ha!!"

Watch for more SAW V goodness when filming begins next month.

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.

"We just basically locked down the ending about a month ago so it's working off of what happens from there," said Oren Koules. "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 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. "I think we'll all know," said Koules. "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."

He doesn't sound excited about this film like he has in the past. That's interesting. When Saw III & IV were in production and coming up on release, he was excited, brushed the idea off that the films would do poorly, but now he's looking into the future where a Saw film will do bad.

Grant the latest Saw film didn't come close to the previous films (Saw III's worldwide box office gross was $164,874,275; Saw IV's was $127,845,862), but still, I'm a little shocked. I wouldn't even think about those what ifs, I'd concern myself on trying to make the current film being worked on the best out of the serious. But I guess that's me.

I get the feeling that there's more going on with this than what he's stating, maybe Lionsgate is getting worried which is putting pressure on them or maybe they're having a more difficult time trying to come up with an idea of the direction they want to go in.

New 'Saw V' Casting, Shooting Begins March 17!

It was announced today that Mark Rolston (Aliens, Shawshank Redemption, The Departed) has joined the cast of Tobin Bell, Costas Mandylor and Scott Patterson in Lionsgate's Saw V, which begins lensing March 17 in Toronto, Canada. David Hackl will step behind the camera for both SAW V and SAW VI, which are both written by genre favs Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton. No word on what the story will involve, but we at least know that Jigsaw will return. Read on for a pic of Mark. The games continue October 24...

^^

Awesome I was wondering what was going on, I have the Saw 4 Unrated still to watch >.>

[Rappy Veteran]

We learned last night that Betsy Russell - who plays Jigsaw's wife Jill - will be joining Tobin Bell, Scott Patterson, Costas Mandylor and Mark Rolston in Lionsgate's Saw V, which hits theaters October 24. David Hackl takes the reigns of director for the latest film, which begins lensing this Monday in Toronto, Canada. Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton continue to write for the franchise that is looking as far down the line as six sequels.

Is the fate of Dr. Lawrence Gordon revealed?

There is only a passing reference to Gordon and his place at the hospital while he was treating John's cancer. Also, Fisk mentions to Hoffman that another doctor is missing from the hospital. He is referring to Lynn as the other, as Dr. Gordon was the first. This could mean that he is still missing. Lawrence Gordon's fate still remains a mystery

Cary Elwes (the actor who played Dr. Gordon) was locked in a battle over money with the studio after the first movie. This law suit is long finished. Leigh Whannell stated that because the lawsuit is over, Cary and the producers made up. Leigh also said, that because of this Gordon may very easily return in future Saw movies.

Obviously this information could be complete bull**** considering the source, but interesting nevertheless.

Oh & BTW, filming begins Monday :woot:
