Jigsaw's Wife Talks 'Saw V'
Saturday, May 3, 2008

With Lionsgate's Saw V in production in Toronto, we decided to chat with star Betsy Russell about her role as Jill, Jigsaw's wife. You can read the skinny inside, but don't hold your breathe for anything too revealing - everything will be answered when SAW V arrives in theaters October 26.

Last week we had the chance to chat with one of the new stars of the SAW franchise, Betsy Russell, who plays Jigsaw's wife Jill in the popular serial killer-horror series. Now that she's one of the main stars of SAW V we tried to dig to get some goodies out of her. I knew this was going to be a battle. When asked what does Jill's future hold in SAW V she joked, "If I told you, I'd have to kill you in a bloody and disgusting way..."

Depending on how you look at Jigsaw, you might see his cause as noble. Russell tells us what it feels like to be his wife. "It feels great to be cherished and adored," she explains, "I think every wife should be, it's a great aphrodisiac..."

Jill may or may not agree with what Jigsaw is doing, but what does Russell think of his actions? "[I think] some of us need a moment or an event to happen in our lives to make us step off the treadmill of life and say, 'hey, am I appreciating what I have?' Let me re-evaluate here and see if I'm making the most of it... Jigsaw just takes it to the next level... You will have to wait to see how Jill feels about it," she teases.

In SAW V, David Hackl has taken over directing duties for Darren Lynn Bousman (who directed the previous three), Russell tells us she misses Bousman, but it having a great time with Hackl. "Everyone misses Darren but Hackl is awesome!" She continues, "They are both creative geniuses. Hackl is just more quiet about it."

The SAW franchise is said to go for a total of six films, with five sequels. We asked Russell if she heard that a seventh was in talks, she explains that it;'s up to the fans. "Yes [there will be a seventh SAW] if fans keep wanting more..."

Seven?!?! This franchise has just been going downhill sequel after sequel. Even the Feast writers couldn't bring it out of it's funk.

Yeah but look at the franchises that have a ton of sequels. Friday, Nightmare, Halloween... And they all just get worse and worse.

I feel like one of the few who still like the story (how gauche XD). Even just for a bit of entertainment. But I don't blame anyone for not really digging it. I just really really really hope Jill isn't Jigsaw. I might end up in the latter category if she is..

Up until 4 it was good, do we need a fifth? Actually, I think we do!!

The first Saw, though somewhat predictable, was quite decent. We had a cool enough locked room mystery and an experimental look at the lengths a person will go to in order to commit him/her self to survival and the survival of loved ones. We saw a serial killer with habits quite unlike anything we'd previously seen. And finally, we had a serial killer whose motive was to teach people to live and appreciate life. it was the most interesting and original serial killer innovation ever. But alas, with the sequels, what we're seeing is movie after movie being made with a mere fraction of the effort that was spent on the first and then hoping that the few concepts that made the first one good will hold the sequels up as well. And it's just not working. Saw has effectively become a soap opera.

Honestly, why does no one want to see more sequels, I mean seriously they aren't that bad, but if even if you think they are, the sequels wont take away from what the original did, its like how every1 hated the new halloweeen and were mad it was made, but just because it was bad doesn't mean it ruins how great the original was, sequels still need to be made even if they arent good we still hve the original, it doesnt detract from its greatness...

I wonder how they are going to amp up the this sequel's twist, which we all know there must be. I think it would be cool if, in the end, Jigsaw was actually just playing his part in a game.

I love the movies! If 5 and 6 keep it up , why not have a seventh?

5:33am, May 4, 2008

Ok...I am with Lucksaw. The thing about 4 is kinda like 1....the difference is at least you know you know there is a need for more storyline to explain. It's hard to explain, but there was Saw. Than there was Saw II...Saw 3 was a sequel and a prequel, Saw 4 told us even more about what was happening and surrounded the first 3. Maybe you understand this, maybe not...I know what I'm trying to say, but putting it in words...well, never mind...I would love to see this franchise in a book form!!!!

I like the 'saw' series. The first one was okay but the story line was good. The 2nd one was better because it contained more gore and better CSI acts. The third was okay but it had really good gore scenes. The fourth was better because there was a better story and good gore.

I love the saw movies but I think its getting out of hand. I was always having the idea that they would stop at five. I don't think we really need a seventh film wrap it up at six.

Sweet! Go ahead, make Saw VII, I'll definitely see it!

I agree that they have been going down hill all the way...like one is the best then two, but they are all still going pretty strong. i thought the fourth would be the one to mess up but its still working for me. i can live with what they are doing and love it till now, so, if 5 can do the same then bring on 6 and 7 i say. they have not messed up yet...YET.

check this out; AMANDA MAY RE-APPEAR ON SAW V !!!!!!!! "The official Smith & Pyle website have stated that Shawnee Smith will appear in the upcoming Saw V,[2] indicating that Amanda will feature in that film. However, there has not yet been any confirmation of this from the film-makers or Shawnee Smith herself. There has not been any news on whether or not Amanda will appear in Saw VI."

It's hard to keep making movies where people are going to expect a twist at the end; just ask M. Knight Shamalan. I personally don't care how much jizz they want to try to jerk out of this franchise, I just hate that the original and probably scarier movies that play at film festivals that should get released end up getting bumped all over hell so more of this crap can come out. Ahh, fuck it!!!!!!

Not really a fan of the Saw series - very overrated and dull in my opinion - but have always loved Betsy Russell! Check out her earlier films to appreciate her acting, among other things: Let's Do It! (1982), Private School (1983), Avenging Angel (1985), Out Of Control (1985), Tomboy (1985), Cheerleader Camp (1988) and Trapper County War (1988).

idk if this means anything but i was watching the special features on the saw 4 dvd and at the end they showed that they finished filming a scene and it was hoffman wrapped in a blanket outside the building which the 4th took place and he was telling officers that nobody survived could this be a scene from saw 5 already filmed? plus when they ran the prints on the bullet casing they never really said it was hoffman maybe its someone else possibly Jill?

It is obvious that Hoffman is NOT the person to carry on the Jigsaw legacy, simply based on the autopsy tape: You feel you now have control, don't you? You think you will walk away untested. I promise that my work will continue. That I have ensured. By hearing this tape, some will assume that this is over but I am still among you. You think it's over just because I am dead. It's not over. The games have just begun. 1. Jigsaw promised Hoffman that [MY] work will continue. This implies that Jigsaw excluded Hoffman from his work and legacy. And Jigsaw used the pronoun "our" when he spoke to Amanda, "You think about what you promised me. Think about our dreams." 2. Jigsaw told Hoffman, "You think it's over just because I am dead." What was IT that Hoffman thought was over? Obviously Jigsaw's work and legacy. Jigsaw knew that Hoffman was going to try to screw him and put an end to his work and legacy. Therefore, Hoffman was never the chosen one to be the new Jigsaw, nor will he ever be. Saw V will be about Hoffman trying to save his own career which is threatened by the "secret" mentioned in the official synopsis...his role as a Jigsaw accomplice.
