SAW VI updates [EDIT]

[SEANVALEN]

When Saw 5 came out, and I saw it, I immediately pondered about Saw 6, and looking forward to news on it, news was slow at first, but it's now coming, with shooting beginning soon.

Saw 6, what we know so far,

Jigsaw - and his disciples - will return in Saw VI on October 23, 2009

Saw 6 Begins shooting on 30th March

Unknown Tanedra Howard will be in it because:

After seven weeks of battling through almost every imaginable horror scenario, VH1's Scream Queens has finally found its first victor. The competitive reality series premiered on October 20, introducing 10 unknown actresses who would contend against each other for a break-out role in the horror film Saw VI. Contestants competed in a series of challenges, from working with bugs to stunt acting, designed to prove they have the talent and the strength to succeed.

On last night's finale, the competition came down to three actresses who must put everything they've learned to the test in the most grueling and exhausting challenge they've ever had to face: The Scream Queen gauntlet. Lindsay Felton immediately got “The Axe,” leaving Michelle Galdenzi and Tanedra Howard to face off in one final Director's Challenge that will determine the winner of Scream Queens
“I haven't heard anything yet [about the film]. I heard something about pre-production starting in February or March and that it's going to be filmed in Canada. But that's about it. They haven't gotten in contact with me, so I assume they're going to do that soon, now that the show is over. We have no idea what the role will be like. I heard a rumor that the way the role was written would depend on who won. I guess they're just waiting to see what the winner is capable of pulling off.”

This is interesting:

Is the Saw Series Heading for 3-D?

"

3-D" is on the lips of the producing team at Twisted Pictures, the house of horror known for churning out the Saw franchise. And if the future continues to look bright for the Jigsaw legacy (Saw V grossed over $100 million worldwide), you might just see a Saw sequel coming at you in the same technology that made My Bloody Valentine 3D leap off the screen.

At last night's sold-out, energetic Los Angeles screening of Repo! The Genetic Opera, another Twisted production, ShockTillYouDrop.com got to speaking with the producers who are seriously mulling over a Saw 3D. Perhaps not Saw VI but a seventh entry.

With 3-D becoming prevalent in the horror genre this year, it might be advantageous to consider doing part six in 3-D, but with an October 23rd release date looming and pre-production beginning soon - could Twisted make it work? If there was ever a time to freshen up this ongoing horror franchise, this is it. Imagine seeing Jigsaw's devices in your face...

Just to make clear, nothing is set in stone, but the 3-D ideas are being kicked around.

Saw news will be posted in the offical saw forums as filming begins soon in Toronto Canada.


I just have a feeling Saw VI will be very good. They planned 3-4-5 for Saw VI to be pieced together. Saw VI was planned years ago so.. I guess it will blow Saw 5 right out of the water and if has 3D great, if not then Saw 7.

Saw theme remix extended

At some point, that Saw guy will have to:

- go into space
- get resurrected and/or become immortal
- fight Chucky and/or Cenobites in a crossover

i heard saw 6 is supposed to be the final saw film i sure hope so

[X-human]

No, no, no they've got it all wrong. Saw 3 was suppose to be in 3D, and then they abandon the process after that. Everyone in Hollywood knows that. Get with the program guys.

I don't think so, let's see how they market it. Freddy's Dead the final nigtmare was great marketing to make you believe no more Freddy films, but nothing is finite in this industry.

I think the guys involved will end the current story arc, and have a stepping stone for another one, they have many ideas from things I've read, and as long as it makes money, can't see it stopping. The writers are quite clever I think to keep it going.

Saw 6, 7, 8 9 and 10
This decade will be about the billion dollar horror fanchise, it's a fanchise, SAW FILMS, Saw ride, SAW GAME, this is a major establishment, the crowning glory of horror this decade, the saw ride is the first ride based on horror themes. I'm proud of their work. And it's not a remake!

[Chunkblower]

Given the slow, but steady, decline in box office since the high water mark of SAW II, I can certainly understand the temptation to release SAW VI in 3-D. Would the Bloody Valentine remake have grossed over $50 million if it had only been exhibited in 2D? Probably not. However, that was more a fun thrill ride with pretty straight forward visuals. I'm not sure SAW's grim tone, colour scheme and quick cutting would translate to 3D very well. The series has been, if nothing else, consistent in look and feel. It'd be a shame to see them abandon that for a cheap gimmick.

It's said Saw 6 will be more violent.

More violent? I thought they did a good job on violence in the previous films, so they must really be going for it now

But wait, don't you think 3D works well, when used at the right times? Don't you think the saw traps coming out in front of you in 3D, might actually enchance the impact? It might look cool.

There's nothing wrong with 3D, when I saw T2-3D, batteracross time, it felt like a 3rd terminator film, the way they used 3D really worked. 3D is really taking shape, if the execution works with the story as when special effects became advanced in terminator 2, and we got t-1000, people wanna be amazed again.

Since the studios really make all their money theatrically in the first two weeks, the series has been nothing but consistent for them. It's the longevity that's slowly eaten away at the franchise's earning potential, but when you consider the fallout for canonical horror franchises like Elm Street, Friday or Halloween, the series is still doing pretty amazing. What other multi-film franchise out there is there where every sequel has grossed more than the successful first venture?

I definately agree, I think the Saw films more so then any other horror fanchise is in better control for sequel entries. I must say Lionsgate this decade has been a savior for horror films, we've had the gore, grit and polished execution off some very well worthy additions to the horror genre. Lionsgate has put horror back on the map, after say the Scream films took the micky out of it at the end the 90s, the end of the 90s some what was a a big void, the scream films felt like a goodbye to horror we knew it, but also encouraging the genre to rise above itself and do cooler stuff to shock as again.

I rememeber watching Saw 1 for the first time, it was unsetteling horror, under your skin, the death traps were basicially the saviour of horror as much as say remakes like Dawn of the Dead encoraging a 80s come back in the 21st century. We got a bit of both.

Elm Street, Friday films/Halloween lacked that studio quality control big shot back in the days to mastermind sequels with talented entries, but sequels sometimes are adored for being lesser/they have fans, but with Saw films, we have good support at Lionsgate, and people who are happy to try and better themselfs to keep a fanchise going, I don't think horror films in a fanchise like this, have done as well.

We need the R rated crowd to show the studios it's worth it, and Saw films definately did that, a important landmark they are for our continued survival in these harsh hollywood times. I also liken the Saw films as perhaps the most philosophical fanchise on the human condition, Jigsaw works on our life and death beliefs with much more conviction then I've seen in any other horror film, yence a icon for the decade and forever in horror.

Sir Rhett Legend signing off.

CHECK OUT SAW 6 MOTION POSTER

THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE COOLEST POSTER EVER FOR A HORROR FILM

I thought the Saw 5 poster was great, but this motion one is brilliant.


I went on the saw ride many weeks ago here in the UK, it was quite a intense ride, very fast, my necked moved a bit too much for my liking, perhaps I got unlucky, but it wasn't the most pleasant of exeriences because I wasn't positoned with my neck just right in one of G force drops, maybe it was Jigsaw curse to make me feel pain. The ride briefly stopped before I got on as well, horror ride indeed. If anyone makes it to the UK, try the ride,, it has a interesting set up with Jigsaw traps around the track as you wait for the ride.

That is a unique poster. Too bad you can't save it somehow. And not that that this is anything new(debuted in the first Saw movie), but the Saw music is just fantastic. Wonder if they ever thought it would be that much of an impact as it is. I look forward to it in every Saw film because it really adds to each ending imo.

[rhett]

Glad to see the SAW machine in full force here after a comparatively quiet first half of the year. Here's another update:

THE TEASER HITS TONIGHT:

Tobin Bell will be introducing the WORLD PREMIERE of the SAW VI Teaser Trailer at 5pm PST TODAY, which will simultaneously be streamed live on FEARnet.com (http://www.fearnet.com/news/index.html) and Justin.tv (http://www.justin.tv/saw_vi) in addition to the official SAW facebook page – www.facebook.com/saw !! Make sure you become a fan of SAW on Facebook so you don’t miss anything!

SYNOPSIS:

Special Agent Strahm is dead, and Detective Hoffman has emerged as the unchallenged successor to Jigsaw's legacy. However, when the FBI draws closer to Hoffman, he is forced to set a game into motion, and Jigsaw's grand scheme is finally understood.

The teaser is SAWesome. It confirms once and for all that Jigsaw is not just a character, he's part of us as we are part of him. <3
