Holy smokes do we have some goodies for you! Earlier this evening we broke the news that Kevin Greutert will step behind the camera for Lionsgate's Saw VI, but that was just the beginning. Inside you can read about the traps in Saw V, how a 7-year-old created the big finale, how the film has three different endings, see who returns in the next sequel and get the big lowdown on the SAW videogame coming in 2009!
Today B-D was invited to a meet-and-greet with the cast and crew for Lionsgate's upcoming SAW V at a swanky Beverly Hills bar. The booze was flying, the appetizers were great and the scoops were yummy...
Saw V Twists & Traps
Producer Marc Berg had a lot to say about the next film in the series, with the typical yearly chat about the traps. “[We have] six different traps, more gore" he tells Bloody-Disgusting. "People escape one trap, just to get caught in another; it's closer in feel to the original SAW as thematically it’s about teamwork. I am far and away convinced that these are the best traps we have ever had," he explains with a smile.
And for those of you who feel the films have become increasingly confusing, fear not! "This film is far less confusing and more linear, and there are TWO great twists," he explains. "Just when you thought you figured it out, we twist again. We bring in some new characters that you really get to know... we bring in some peripheral characters that play out in SAW VI - the people that you think will live… not a chance!"
Berg also chatted with us about the return of Dunstan and Melton for the next sequel. "Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton are back as writers, we spent the day yesterday beating out the form of SAW VI. Lastly, of course we can’t make a SAW film without Tobin Bell as Jigsaw!" spilling the beans on Bell's obvious return.
SAW V director David Hackl told us a little bit about the traps, and the strange person who helped design the grand finale trap. “A couple of years ago my son Sean, who is now 9-years-old, did a drawing that was hanging in my office throughout the making of SAW III and IV, and that became the design of the trap for this film," Hackl tells us glowing with pride. "Certainly I could show you a drawing by a 7-year-old that would scare you all.”
SAW V Has 3 Endings for DVD?!
Then the rumors started flying about some different filmed endings. “We actually shot three different endings, they each say different things, and set up the story for SAW VI in different ways," Hackl tells Bloody-Disgusting exclusively. "Two of them are similar and one is very different!” Berg tells us all endings will be included on the DVD release.
SAW Videogame Details!
Producer Oren Koules told us a little about the making of the upcoming SAW video game, which has been teased on the site a few times as of late. “Charlie Clouser is doing the music," also adding that "it takes place during the timeframe of the first SAW." He continues, "All the actors real voices are involved - and it is being written by Leigh Whannell and James Wan. The game will be available in October 2009 on all platforms, but the heads at the game company are not letting us talk too much about it.” Berg also explained to us that the game will be a walk -through where you pick up weapons along the way. He also joked that he thought the plotline was so good that he wishes he could use it for SAW VI, adding that they don't want to make a movie based on the game.
Betsy Russell, Scott Patterson, Costas Mandylor, Julie Benz and Tobin Bell round out the cast for SAW V, which hits theaters this October 24th.
"..it's closer in feel to the original SAW"-Mark Berg
If this wasn't the same guy who told us that Saw 4 would have the best and least predictable twist ending of the four films than I'd be tempted to believe him.
Though the prospect of bringing back the actors from 'Saw' to voice the characters in the film (namely Cary Elwes) sounds great and I love the idea of multiple endings (especially if these endings are actually different... compare that to most films where the alternate endings are only variations on the same premise).
Saw 4 was close enough to the original Saw though (more a remake than a sequel), I really hope we don't have a repeat of the same situation and kinds of characters we've already seen twice by now.
And I'm really glad that that poster isn't the real one, (looks too indicative of the Saw Blood Drive). Hopefully we'll get an official poster before July.
The first Saw was such a great film. I don't know about all these stupid sequels. And they sure as hell can't make a video game with all the dismemberments and torture that the movies have. I mean, look how Manhunt 2 had to be edited down for it's release. Well, aparently there are a lot of people who are waiting for more of this stuff otherwise they would have stopped with the sequels a long time ago. So - fuck it!!!!!
Ah. A deathtrap invented by a seven-year old. They must really be picking at straws for the next two movies...
We're done after the sixth one, right? Because, honestly, with the shit that was four, I think they should have stopped it a long time ago. The first movie was great. But after that...You just can't recreated the same feeling, the same emotions. I think it's time to pack up the Saw wagon and call it quits, gentlemen.
Oh my god! So many users are spreading so many shitty comments, it's unbelieveable. 'The saw movies are so shit, but I'll take a look at 5 and 6 anyway...' WTF? How can the saw movies be bad? I've seen like 10 new movies in the last 1-2 months and they are all seriously garbadge! The SAW franchise is the only thing I believe in movies theese days and the only movies that didn't dissapoint me as sequels etc... Of course part 1 is a CLASSIC...BIGTIME. I can't wait for the rest of theese movies and the game! Saw rules!
people who are complaining about how the saw sequels are bad should remember how bad some of the hellraiser sequels are. Also, Friday the 13th 8: Jay takes Manhattan.
Those complaining about the Saw sequels "are" aware of how bad a lot of other movies are. I'm one of those complainers and I've seen many upon many other horrible movies. But if you look a little more closely, you'll notice that this is an article about "Saw sequels," so we're complaining about "Saw sequels." You'll read our complaints about other movies in their relevant forums.
Im psyched for this new sequal. In my opinion they have not messed up the series yet...hopefully this one will keep it going strong. Having said that they have been getting increasingly worse...there just isnt one i havnt liked yet. I am optomistic though that 5 will be better then 4 was.
