SAW: Legacy – Jigsaws Erbe: Lionsgate arbeitet am nächsten Film, Autoren verpflichtetAufgrund schwacher Gewinnprognosen hatte Lionsgate Films vor wenigen Tagen angekündigt, das eigene Portfolio um zwei große Horrorfilme erweitern zu wollen. Inzwischen steht nun auch fest, um was es sich dabei konkret handelt – nämlich den nächsten Ableger im mittlerweile siebenteiligen SAW-Franchise! Lionsgate hat Josh Stolberg und Pete Goldfinger, das Duo hinter Schön bis in den Tod, Piranha 3D oder Piranha 3DD, mit der Skriptvorlage zu einem SAW: Legacy benannten Film beauftragt, der in vielerlei Hinsicht als Neubeginn funktionieren soll. So könnte die sadistische Idee, die uns in den Vorgängern manch schmerzvollen Leinwand-Tod bescherte, von Nachahmungstätern weit abseits des Jigsaw aka John Kramer-Kreises aufgegriffen und weitergeführt werden. Offizielle Details zur Ausrichtung und dem Inhalt liegen zu diesem frühen Zeitpunkt allerdings noch nicht vor. Für Lionsgate Films war die Reihe stets ein sicherer Box Office-Erfolg, auch wenn die Einnahmen (SAW 3D spielte „nur“ 45 Millionen Dollar ein, SAW 2 dagegen 90) zuletzt rückläufig waren. Durch die geringen Entstehungskosten sind die Chancen eines Misserfolgs jedoch sehr gering, weshalb SAW: Legacy auf einen letzten Versuch abzielen könnte, die Reihe auf diese Weise wiederzuleben.Quelle: Tracking Board
Saw: Legacy cast adds Laura Vandervoort and Hannah AndersonLionsgate (via Variety) has revealed that actresses Laura Vandervoort (Bitten, Smallville) and Hannah Anderson (Shoot the Messenger, Lizzie Borden Took an Ax) have joined the Saw: Legacy cast. The new Saw movie will play its game on October 27, 2017, four days before Halloween.But that’s not the most interesting news. According to the trade, all of Saw: Legacy was already shot in November, so expect to hear more cast announcements shortly!The eighth Saw movie is directed by Michael and Peter Spierig (Daybreakers) from a script by Pete Goldfinger and Josh Stolberg alongside original creators James Wan and Leigh Whannell. Mark Burg, Gregg Hoffman, and Oren Koules are producing, as they have on all the previous films in the franchise.All seven previous Saw films grossed upwards of $870 million worldwide combined.
Der Film ist mittlerweile im Kasten, hat von der MPAA sein R kassiert und soll bei uns am 26. Oktober starten.Nur über den Titel ist man sich wohl noch nicht so ganz einig. Der Arbeitstitel war SAW: Legacy, man liebäugelt aber u.a. auch mit dem Titel Jigsaw.
New Saw movie retitled Jigsaw, logo revealedPreviously the forthcoming new Saw movie, eighth in the horror franchise, was titled Saw: Legacy. Now, Lionsgate has revealed that the new feature will carry a new name, one based off its long-standing villain, and will be titled Jigsaw. The feature will arrive in theaters on October 27, and with just four months until release a teaser trailer for the feature can’t be too far away.The upcoming sequel, which fittingly comes seven years after Saw: The Final Chapter, will star Laura Vandervoort (Bitten, Smallville) and Hannah Anderson (Shoot the Messenger, Lizzie Borden Took an Ax). Additional cast members have yet to be confirmed, but given the title change it’s a safe bet that none other than Tobin Bell will return as the titular villain. The feature was shot mostly in secret last fall.The eighth Saw movie is directed by Michael and Peter Spierig (Daybreakers) from a script by Pete Goldfinger and Josh Stolberg (Piranha 3D, Sorority Row) alongside original creators James Wan and Leigh Whannell. Mark Burg, Gregg Hoffman, and Oren Koules are producing, as they have on all the previous films in the franchise.All seven previous Saw films have a combined worldwide box office gross upwards of $870 million on a combined budget of roughly $67 million.
Jigsaw (out Oct. 27) is the eighth Saw film and picks up a decade after the original reign of terror overseen by Tobin Bell’s titular homicidal maniac. “Bodies are turning up, and they’re linked to Jigsaw — or a Jigsaw copycat,” says Peter Spierig (Daybreakers), who directed with his brother Michael. Bell’s character actually died in Saw III, and the actor is not listed in the official credits. Does he appear? Spierig dodges: “The DNA of Tobin Bell is all over this film,” he says. Well, that sounds — appropriately — disgusting.Something the Spierigs are happy to confirm? Jigsaw features plenty of the deadly traps for which the franchise is famous. “We’ve got some pretty wild traps in the film — we don’t shy away from the gore,” says Michael Spierig. “It’s such a perfect Halloween scarefest. It’s perhaps not quite as vicious and more fun, which is something we tried to inject into it. But it’s still full of good fun gore, that’s for sure. And, on top of that, it’s got a really great mystery, and there’s very interesting twists. It’s Saw for 2017.”Jigsaw stars Matt Passmore, Callum Keith Rennie, Clé Bennett, Hannah Emily Anderson, Laura Vandervoort, Mandela Van Peebles, Paul Braunstein, Brittany Allen, and Josiah Black. The film is written by Josh Stolberg and Peter Goldfinger and is produced by Oren Koules, Mark Burg, and Greg Hoffman.
