Straight from the House Of Jigsaw.

Wednesday, November 29, 2006

It seems as though we haven't stopped talking about Lionsgate's Saw franchise since, sh-t, December of 2003 - and here we are breaking yet another story, this time about who is in hot and heavy talks to helm Saw IV, which is already aiming at a October 26, 2007 release. Dying to know who it is? You might not know who he/they is/are, but we sure do and we're more excited than you can even imagine! Read on for the skinny.



We broke the news that Feast writers Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton have been working on a their own story for Saw IV, while at the same time Thomas Fenton (Red) was working on his. We also knew there was a fourth writer, who we've yet to confirm... but maybe this major scoop will clear some of the air?

I've been hearing the rumbling for a few weeks now, but tonight I've crossed paths with a certain someone who was able to 100% confirm our notions. Do you remember a little French film we've been praising here as B-D entitled Ils (review) (US title: Them)? Or maybe you've heard about a remake Lionsgate is working on with Cruise/Wagner entitled The Eye? What do they both have in common?

Both films were/will be Directed by both David Moreau and Xavier Palud -- two names you will never forget by the end of 2007.

What we've been told by numerous sources (that have all checked out) is that David Moreau has been at Lionsgate multiple times for meetings on the possibility that he might helm Jigsaw's next adventure (if he even returns). He is all but confirmed, but in heavy talks. No word on his directing partner Xavier Palud, who we would assume would join him at the directing post.

The second the news breaks we'll have the story, so keep your eyes posted here at Bloody-Disgusting for all things horror!


I'm so psyched for this one!!!! Feast looks awesome!!

Im getting tired of these films, man.
They need to come up with something new, instead of a sequel every 3 months.

Luko, are you whack? SAW releases it's sequel only once a year. Here's the exact dates of every film-

SAW: October 27th, 2004

SAW II: October 27th, 2005

SAW III: October 27th, 2006

SAW IV: October 27th, 2007

That's really a span of 3 months. Idiot. Get your facts straight. And I'd rather have SAW sequels than some idiots trying to make a new series that sucks. SAW IV is said to be a PREQUEL anyways.

Dude, you take these movies way too seriously. And the name-calling, once again, is not needed here.
So Saw IV is gonna be a prequel? Yeah, that's original.

Well I'm[obviously] a big fan of the movies. As for the prequel idea, it's better than having them make a 4th one that continues the story and screws it up. The two main characters are dead, how can you really let the story go on without screwing it all up? I mean sure, maybe Obi could be the new Jigsaw(I won't go into my details about why he might not be dead), but it still wouldn't be the same without John and Amanda.
