SDCC ’09: First Official Clip From Lionsgate’s ‘Saw VI’!
Get ready to spin the wheel of death as B-D reader ‘Jcoles5000’ just sent us the first official clip from Lionsgate’s Saw VI, which I’m told you get when you visit the Lionsgate booth during the San Diego Comic Con (I couldn’t even get there if I tried it was crowded). I’m assuming this is something completely different than the trailer debut lined up for Facebook and such tomorrow. Watch the clip inside as it corresponds directly to the first official one sheet we debuted exclusive here on B-D earlier today. What do you guys think? Lookin’ pretty cool thus far. Saw VI arrives in theaters October 23.
