If you head on over to BDTV you can check out the revised teaser trailer for Lionsgate's Saw V, which features a pretty creepy new soundtrack. In the fifth installment of the popular SAW franchise, which arrrives in theaters October 24th, Hoffman is seemingly the last person alive to carry on the Jigsaw legacy. But when his secret is threatened, Hoffman must go on the hunt to eliminate all loose ends.
I left off after part three. The first was great. It was like they caught lightning in a bottle and it was much better than it had any right of being. Part II was okay. It had some great moments, and it had some horrible moments. Part III was just horrible. I think that the film's primary reason for being made was to find new and brutal ways to torture and kill people. I love gore, but only if it is used in service of a good story. I felt the same way about TCM: The Begininng.
goooosh, is he going to die in the beginning? i like how they make the people move so fast so we can feel them being stressed out while being trapped. so scary!!
All you do is think of lousy insults like "corpse fucker" but in no way can you back up what you say. All the SAW movies are genius and you fucking know it!!
The revised the trailer because of possible legal ramifications.
Ginny Owens, the original woman behind the song 'Be Thou My Vision', which is the song used in the teaser, posted this on her website around the time the Saw V teaser hit the internet:
'Dear Friends,
Some of you have undoubtedly come across a movie trailer for the horror film Saw V with one of my songs as the background music.
Although I do not have a say in where and when my previously recorded music is used, I can tell you that a request was submitted to Rocketown records for the use of this song in the movie trailer, and after reviewing the trailer, Rocketown denied the request.
At this point, we are unsure of how and why this version of the trailer has appeared on some websites. We hope to solve this matter as quickly as possible. Thank you for understanding.
—Ginny Owens'
Then she posted this a short while later:
Sometime during the afternoon of Friday, July 25th, my voice on 'Be Thou My Vision' was replaced by another singer.
The track still sounds nearly identical, and most websites continue to 'credit' me for it, but the background music for the Saw V trailer is no longer my original version of 'Be Thou My Vision.'
Thanks.
—Ginny Owens'
Basically the guys over at Lionsgate requested the song and were denied, so they went and got another woman to sing it for the teaser! The version heard in the teaser was a different woman, not Ginny Owens.
However now that it’s a man singing it, I wonder why they changed it. If another woman sang it and apparently there still was an issue that caused them to have a man sing it, isn’t there still the same issue? Apparently not!
All the Saws have been decent at that. They all have semi jaw dropping twists but how long will it take for that to get old? What they need to do is make a new masked killer, not a remake of Jason or Michael Myers, but a new one, something we never SAW before.
i have liked all of them... but i think that when they made saw IV they made it to where the saws could like never end... b/c jigsaw had another apprentice... but, then again... they could just kill him off in saw VI which is what i hope they do... saw VI should be the last...
and whats the difference between this and the other? but i cant wait till this movie... it comes out on my b-day so i have plans to go see it... :D
" I don't see the difference between this and the other trailer. " I don't either, Jacques...
I am waiting for the other trailer to come on-line, the pendulum trap..
They said a total of 7 traps would appear ..Hmm...
