Tobin Bell, who plays Jigsaw in Lionsgate's Saw franchise, wasn't joking when he said he was signed on for five sequels... we received multiple confirmations yesterday that various writers have been tapped to write different scripts for Saw 4, which would hit theaters next October if Saw 3 performs well the weekend of October 27th. How many writers are on board? We think right now four, but haven't been able to confirm an actual number- but we do have a few names that we unfortunately cannot share at this time. Watch this spot for more news as it comes in. Click here for everything Saw III.

I've seen the first two and am excited for the third, although I think a fourth might be stretching it. I mean isn't the third one supposed to end the series?

It is really exciting to see "Saw"evolve every year,the first 2 were brilliant and breathtaking this one will be as genius as the first 2 because i'vee seen some clips but i heard that tobin bell{john kramer aka jigsaw]has a 5 season contract i think that they will strech the subject too long because in the first 2 and the third he will be presented as a dying man so how can he "survuve"the 4'th?...interesting movie though looking forward to seeing it,,,congratulations for liosngate and twisted pictures,keep it up

Ah, I actually think number 4 will be his death, and number 5 will be leading up to Saw 1.

If you look at the domain names www.saw4.com and saw5.com there are registered to Lions Gate, maybe another hint of the possibilty of future releases.

This is the last of saw as everyone is killed including jigsaw, why he is signed on for 5 movies beats me because he clearly dies in Saw 3

Ok so i seen the third one. Have you noticed that at least one person gets their throat cut open in every saw movie? well if the cop could live after that. so could jigsaw. this movie was ok. not as good as the other ones. I do hope for a fourth but it will probably get old and start geetting stupid after a while.

Just seen saw 3 I hope they extend the series to saw 12. I thought it was a great movie, and I loved how they tied the first two saw movies together. You dont see that happen to much now days. Where I went to see the movie it was packed almost every seat was taken. I think it will be #1 at the box office for a while.

Saw III was descent, very gory and disturbing as usual though. I will be somewhat shocked if they do a Saw 4,5, or whatever. There have only been trilogys with horror films the last twenty years or so. No horror series has gone past a trilogy since Halloween, Nightmare on elm Street, and Friday the 13th. Those are the classic horror film series of all time, Saw does not have what it takes in my opinion to be one of the classics, to make a name for itself past a trilogy. They are good, but not as good, as the three horror film series of all time. I think they should end it as the trilogy, before it just gets stupid.

Yeah I went to see saw3 yesterday and it kicked ass. But if they make a fourth one what will it be about? I mean (Jigsaw) dies at the end. (spoiler, sorry) doesn't he? so would it be like a prequel?

Did anyone notice the scene when jigsaw was pouring the candlewax on the table. Was he pouring it on one of his audio tapes? thats what it looked like to me but i wasn't sure....Anyone else notice that? Could be the lead in to number four.

Saw3 was excellent and I definantly would love for another sequel to be produced!The fourth one would probably be about another game for the husband to find his daughter? I mean jigsaw did leave another tape behind all covered in candle wax. Oh and don't forget jigsaw did have a tape player in his hand when he died????? Let the games begin!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like all three parts. I'm just really wondering though, if there is going to be a part four, who will be playing as jigsaw? It showed in the movie clearly that tobin bell aka jigsaw got his neck cut. So far so good, I loved all the saw movies.

what do you think the poster subject will be? I'm thinking maybe the outline of a nose, since it kind of looks like a four.

SAW can go up to thirty and i would still go and see it.I think "saw" is a brilliant, well put together movie thriller. I think they would be crazy to discontinue it. Me and my friends all looked and still looking foward to see "saw" for halloween.I hope they keep it going.

I've seen all 3 movies and they are great. now i really cant wait for SAW 4 and SAW 5 to come out.


Stephen Levinson

For saw 4, It'd have to be a trap that they didnt show in the other 3. There's no way there is going to be a different person as jigsaw. If they have it where right after he devises his plans for the traps in saw 1 there's another room in the house where there are test subjects. This way Jigsaw is alive in the 4th.


Scott

(Saw III spoilers ahead, do not read if you have not seen the film) Am I the only one that was getting pissed off in Saw II and III when the traps were inescapable? I am so glad they cleared up the reasoning for this, because I was almost at the point of yelling at the screen at the beginning of Saw III when the detective died after getting the key, and the guy died after ripping all of the chains off of him. Jigsaw is a great killer, but if they do not do a "beginning" film for Saw 4 I will be disappointed, because Jigsaw is not meant to be a "god-like" figure and if he lived after he throat was cut open and his heart rate went to ZERO BPM, then I would get pissed off. If I wanted an indestructible killer I would watch Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm St., or Child's Play. It would be great to see further progression in the film, but I think it would be best summed up in the guise of a before Saw I film. The problem with how quickly they pumped the movies out, is that there wasn't enough time between the films to adequately depict "in-between" film films, i. e. other death traps between his epic ones. Also, I was really starting to hate Shawnee Smith's character in the third installment. She became very two-dimensional. And the fact that Jigsaw never made the argument that her life was also spared annoyed me, because that would have been the argument that would have stopped her from killing the doctor.

I wonder what the story will be like in Saw 4 since there is a new writer so I decided to looked up this person and I havent seen or heard any of his projects and this will be the man that will write the script for Saw 4. also I believe that Jigsaw may not be dead. Please do not create a prequel to this movie because Jeff need to find his little daughter which John know where she is located without him he will never ever see his daughter unless he discovers the tape which was cover in wax before he was killed Another note that I might add what was in that letter that was addressed to Amanda and what caused her reaction to that letter? My Point is that you need to contiune the story with Saw 4. you can not create a prequel maybe in Saw 5 you can on how it all began but not Saw 4 Saw 3 left too many open quetions. so what make me think the jigsaw is not dead well let me explain in Saw Danny Glover who did a role as a detective his neck was slit open by John but guess what Glover survied and if he lived so can John. I understand that people will get upset that you can bring someone back to life if there neck is slit open but you can not compare to movie and real life events anything is possable at the big screen it is for you imangination. so why cant you get excited for Jeff to bring John back to life meaning More Games To Play. so if Jeff can bring John back to life which John is in a room with all types of medicine and tools to revive him that would kick ass but if John is dead in Saw 3 that would be fine too. I want to know how much blood can Jeff shed for his daughter but he must follow the rules and he must listen. I am really excited about SAW 4 I just dont want this writer to screw up the story cause I think that this was the best Trilogy ever created since X-men and The Matrix. I wish the best in luck for the new writer.so Let The Games Begin.

I saw "Saw 3" and I thought that was the last movie. Saw 4 and 5? **********SPOILER********************* Re-appe arance by Jigsaw, no new footage, because he flatlined. There could only be shots of him in the past. As well as his voice (previously taped). Now that I think about it, the apprentice didn't necessarily die. She could still be clinging on to life. Ah but that is stretching it isn't it? Maybe he had a son/daughter from his previous relationship and has groomed that child into his successor (thinking he couldn't find someone else to continue his work - either before that girl or even after seeing her fail at the tasks at hand). He has always been very prepared for all contingencies, and thus, probably had a protoge in the works other than just that girl. I thought the whole series has been very well thought out and well executed. Storyline has been great, acting has been wonderful. Too bad Dina Myer's character died. :( Can't wait for Saw 4

Saw 1,2,3 all good but unless four is a prequel I don't understand what else can happen, but maybe its better that we all don't understand. let's just hope they dont make it Saw4: Jigsaw in Space.

All i can say is awesome. I loved the first two movies and own both on DVD. Went and saw SAW III on October 28th instead of the 27th because the movies were packed. Well, I am sure to buy SAW III on DVD when it finally comes out. And I have to admit that it did look like Amanda and Jigsaw both died at the end of the movie. But, I have a feeling that one or both of them are still alive. And I did read an article on some other website that Tobin Bell had signed on for 5 SEQUELS, not 5 movies but 5 SEQUELS. So, that sounds to me that they are anticipating to go all the way to SAW 6. Which sounds crazy but, hey, they are the ones making the movies. I can't complain because I will go see all of the movies for as long as they continue on. I love SAW. I think that it could compete with the classic horror movies with a lot of sequel movies with jigsaw coming back from death like jason and freddy. The reason for them continuing to make these movies is because of the profit they get from these movies. SAW I only cost them $1.2 million and grossed 55 million. SAW II cost $4.8 million and grossed nearly 90 million. I can't imagine that SAW III cost around $10 million and i hope that it grosses around $100 million. They profit on every movie no matter what. So, I will this with one thing to say, "SAW 4, bring it on, I will be here ready and waiting on October 26th, 2007."
