I just got this from a member on House Of Jigsaw. There's not a lot of info about SAW IV in it, but Darren does mention that he's read the script. He talks about his future projects too, which are sounding pretty interesting.
----------------------------------------
Daniel Robert Epstein: Have you started shooting Wichita yet?
Darren Lynn Bousman: Wichita got blacklisted from Hollywood I think. My whole goal in my tenure here in Hollywood is to offend and upset as many people as humanly possible, but I think that Wichita might have crossed the line. There is nothing in my mind that will ever top the disturbing factors that Wichita has. So don’t be looking for Wichita this year but I’ve got some other very interesting things out there that are very exciting. I want to do things that are crazy and unique and interesting and not just do the same the same rehashed pile of shit over and over again. It looks like one of my next projects is going to be a rock opera of all things.
DRE:That’s right; I remember that you were a huge fan of Jesus Christ Superstar.
DLB:Huge fan. I’ve been working with these two guys on this rock opera for years now. I directed a play called REPO! The Genetic Opera about five years back in Hollywood. I always said that if I ever get the chance to make the movie I want to make, I want to go make REPO. When Saw II hit, I called the writers up and said, “Guys, you better write a script right now. I guarantee I’m going to get this movie made.” So they went off and turned the play into a script. So Saw III is a hit and I was like, “I’m going to shoot a scene of this so people know what it is.” So much like James Wan did in the original Saw, I went out and I shot a scene with Shawnee Smith and Michael Rooker in it. It is like a throwback to Rocky Horror Picture Show and Jesus Christ Superstar and people got excited by it. The writers knocked it out of the park with the script and it seems that we will be doing it sometime this year.
