Lionsgate Makes Date for Saw VII 3D
10 December 2009 | shocktillyoudrop.com | See recent shocktillyoudrop news »
Jigsaw and his legacy will continue on in 3D when Lionsgate releases Saw VII on October 22, 2010, keeping in line with the "if it's Halloween, it must be Saw " campaign. Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton return to write with David Hackl back in the director's chair. I think it's safe to presume Tobin Bell and Costas Mandylor will return to reprise their roles as Jigsaw and Hoffman, respectively. As always, keep it here for the latest on this lucrative franchise »
Saw VI Blu-ray Details and Cover Art
7 December 2009 10:03 AM, PST | TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news »
Saw VI with Tobin Bell was the weakest box office performer in the series thus far despite managing decent reviews from critics which should make it a sought out commodity on home video.
We can now confirm that Lionsgate has pegged January 26 as the release date for Saw VI on Blu-ray Disc and DVD. For a first time in the series, the original Saw film will be packaged in with the Blu-ray and both DVD versions to help introduce newcomers to where it all began -- and of course spur sales of the "middle" films.
Lionsgate is bringing the unrated director's cut of Saw VI to Blu-ray like its predecessors in 1.78.1 1080p video and 7.1 DTS-hd Master Audio. Full bonus features play out as follows:
Includes origina Saw movie Audio Commentary with Producer Mark Burg and Executive Producers Peter Block and Jason Constantine Audio Commentary with Director Kevin Greutert and Screenwriters »
Surprise! Saw VII Set For Release Next Halloween!
13 November 2009 1:54 AM, PST | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
Saw VI didn't exactly live up to box office expectations, but that hasn't stopped Lionsgate from grabbing October 22, 2010 for Saw VII. Saw VII is already in pre-production, with David Hackl returning from Saw V to direct a script from Saw IV, V, and VI screenwriters Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton.
Saw VII will follow the twisted adventures of Detective Hoffman (Costas Mandylor), with Jigsaw (Tobin Bell) returning in flashbacks. Bell already has an idea of what Jigsaw in 3-D will be like.

Saw VII Release Date!
12 November 2009 8:41 AM, PST | HorrorYearbook | See recent HorrorYearbook news »
You got excited just reading that, didn't you? Twisted Pictures has announced that the seventh installment of the beaten to death franchise will be released on October 22, 2010 (of course). As previously announced, it will also be in 3D. Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton, the writers of part six, will be back again as will the director of part five, David Hackl. Costas Mandylor who has played Hoffman since part three, has also been announced as returning. Don't be surprised if you hear from us about Tobin Bell and Shawnee Smith returning for flashbacks. He's hoping this is the last nail in John Kramer's coffin, but probably not. »

Release Date for 'Saw VII' Announced
11 November 2009 7:48 PM, PST | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »
After releasing the latest installment of "Saw VI" in October this year, Lionsgate Films has moved forward with another sequel of the thriller film by announcing the release date for "Saw VII". According to Shock Till You Drop, the studio has claimed October 22, 2010 will be the day when the seventh "Saw" movie hits U.S. theaters.
As of late, "Saw VI" producer Mark Burg and co-writer Marcus Dunstan have said that "Saw VII" will be filmed in 3-D. "Saw, just by the way it's shot, lends itself to being a 3-D movie," Berg explained. "We saw a test that somebody did, a minute of Saw transferred from 2-D to 3-D and it looked great. We're not going to transfer VII, but we'll actually shoot it in 3-D. We want to be able to build the sets in a way that takes advantage of depth."

Saw VII 3D in the Works
11 November 2009 7:33 PM, PST | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Saw VI may not have been a big box office success, but that isn't stopping Twisted Pictures from beginning work on the next installment: Saw VII 3D, according to Fear Net. Here is what Tobin Bell had to say:
"It will be an interesting experience," said Bell. "I'll be doing the same thing. Possibly doing it differently, like saying, 'Reach out this way!' But I am going to be doing exactly what I always do. I am more concerned with the quality of the drama than I am in the special effects, I'll leave that to someone else. That's not my job. I'll be watching with interest and listening for good counsel from the 3-D techs, who I'm sure will be lingering around me."
"And I'll be saying, get away from me!'" he laughed.
David Hackl will direct the horror, while Marcus Dunstan, Patrick Melton are writing. »
Saw VII 3D Takes a Release Date
11 November 2009 | shocktillyoudrop.com | See recent shocktillyoudrop news »
In spite of less than thrilling box office numbers (its current worldwide gross is still less than the last entry's opening weekend with only $26 million), Twisted Pictures forges ahead with Saw VII ( Saw 7 ) in 3-D. And today, Lionsgate has claimed an October 22, 2010 release date. The next entry is written by returning screenwriters Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton. David Hackl is back in the director's chair. He helmed Saw V . Costas Mandylor will be back as Hoffman and you can probably presume Tobin Bell shall return for more Jigsaw flashbacks. Start your theories as to where the story will turn now! »
Tobin Bell Talks 3-D in Saw VII
9 November 2009 12:15 PM, PST | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
Pre-production on Saw VII has already begun ... so despite the poor box office for Saw VI, the Saw series is far from over. Saw VII will look to revitalize the franchise, at least financially, with the series stepping into 3-D territory for the first time. Tobin Bell spoke to Fearnet about what it will be like to bring Jigsaw to the third dimension.
It will be an interesting experience. I'll be doing the same thing. Possibly doing it differently, like saying, "Reach out this way!" But I am going to be doing exactly what I always do. I am more concerned with the quality of the drama than I am in the special effects, I'll leave that to someone else. That's not my job.

One of the secrets to the Saw franchise's success has been its ability to plan ahead. And so before Saw VI's release, well before, plans were already underway to shoot Saw VII. But next year's sequel already promises something to distinguish it from the prior installments in the Saw series – 3-D. At the recent La red carpet for Saw VI, we asked star Tobin Bell what he thinks about the decision to continue Jigsaw's story in a different medium. Find out what he told us after the jump. "It will be an interesting experience," said Bell. "I'll be doing the same thing. Possibly doing it differently, like saying, 'Reach out this way!' But I am »

"Saw VI" Is An Average Horror Flick
2 November 2009 9:04 PM, PST | Reel Empire | See recent Reel Empire news »
A mere six years ago James Wan and Leigh Whannel started a steam rolling franchise with their low budget and inventive Saw. Each Halloween a new sequel has been released building a backstory to the contraption led plan of Jigsaw (Tobin Bell) beyond anything his creators could have imagined. Even as the events in each sequel have become increasingly unlikely and over complicated the Saw franchise inhabits its own world with now familiar rules that allow for certain contrivinces in order to feed our fan lust for blood, torture and the fiendish life lessons of the screens most popular franchise killer in decades.

Tom Hanks, Tokio Hotel And More Reveal Horror Films They Would Remake
29 October 2009 3:52 AM, PDT | MTV Movie News | See recent MTV Movie News news »
Justin Long, Uma Thurman and more chime in on which scary movies they would like to remake if given the chance.
By Eric Ditzian, with additional reporting by Larry Carroll and Tim Kash

Everyone knows that Hollywood is addicted to franchises, sequels, reboots and all manner of cinematic rehashings of the pop-culture past. Over 75 percent of the 30 highest-grossing films of the last three years were based on an existing entertainment franchise, which just goes to show there's a reason studios keep reimagining movie history instead of creating something new: audiences love them too.
But do actors? With Halloween almost upon us, we wanted to know if the folks out in La-La Land secretly had a horror flick they're dying to remake.
Tom Hanks' fave picks — "Night of the Living Dead" and " Nosferatu" — have already been refashioned in one form or another, so the Oscar-winner »

Saw VI Review
27 October 2009 7:52 PM, PDT | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »
Saw VI is as disposable as it’s victims, a graphic gore-fest that blurs into the rest of the series and takes a weak stab at social relevance.
Splayed open on an autopsy table in part IV, series serial killer Jigsaw (Tobin Bell) is still somehow plotting torture chambers from beyond the grave. His legacy remains intact though, a sealed box is willed to his widow, the cruel hardware preserved for the next “lesson,” and the endless acres of industrial real estate left to his minions.
The puppeteer’s newest apprentice is Detective Hoffman (D-list actor Costas Mandylor), who survived V to oversee a familiar macabre maze of over-thought death traps. Shawnee Smith returns as Amanda through flashbacks, but she may as well be absent, and Jigsaw’s wife Jill (Betsy Russell) inexplicably eludes authorities as a prime suspect.
