10.16.09 COCKROACHES AND SAW MOVIES
(”No, please, not a tribal tattoo!”)
Cockroaches and Saw movies, those will be the only things to survive if there’s a nuclear apocalypse. Why? Because Saw VII, that’s why. They’ve already got the release date locked up (October 2010 - yep, one per year), and the plan is to make this installment 3D.
Twisted Pictures producer Mark Burg told the press next year’s entry is slightly more expensive and involves more pre-production. Why? Because it will be shot in 3-D with Saw V’s David Hackl back in the director’s chair. [Thank goodness. Saw VI was supposed to be twice as good as Saw III, but it was really only half-again better than Saw IV]. Burg says he was impressed by a brief presentation he saw of the original Saw in 3-D and felt the series lent itself to the format.
“It’s worth it,” he explains. “We want to be able to build the sets that take advantage of depth. We’re going to design traps to come at you. The pendulum trap that opened the last movie would have been great in 3-D.” He’s excited by the prospect of the next entry and compares some of the gags they’ve got in mind to My Bloody Valentine 3D.
“A lot of the movie we’re planning where the victim’s eye, stuff is coming towards them. They’re point of view. I think the audience wants some Bloody Valentine-type moments where the gun comes into the audience and stuff like that.” [Shocktillyoudrop]
A gun comes into the audience? If only. Whatever, I feel the same way about torture porn as I do about pro wrestling or musicals — I don’t really get it, but if that’s your thing, swell, just stay away from my pets. It also seems like these movies could be greatly improved if only Dennis Hopper showed up whenever everyone gets thrown in the rape dungeon to yell, “POP QUIZ, HOTSHOT!”

The Mighty Feklahr would rather have Paul Reubens come into the audience.
Right before He detonates the theater.
To whomever was defending Avatar- Do you still think 3-D isn’t a gimmick?
If they make a tenth installment, SawX should be about killing Boston baseball fans.
OMG LOL THEY JUS PAST A JOINT INTO TEH AUDIENCE LOL
At least it’s not smell-o-vision.
Jack!, you mean I have to wait another four years?
Coming into your audience always ends up poorly. People hated my one man play.
boPan, you don’t have to wait. You just have to wait to see a movie about it.
A lot of the movie we’re planning where the victim’s eye, stuff is coming towards them. They’re point of view.
I like the way the editors of that press release just knew the producer of Saw would have written it that way.
I don’t know if I should see saw. I’m up and down.
I’ve seen every one of these and can’t tell you anything about any of them.
I used to love those 3D jigsaw puzzles. I had the Capitol Building, the Imperial Star Destroyer, and the R2-D2.
Then I discovered consensual sex.
so i take it most of the movie is gonna be jigsaw pointing knives at the camera saying im gonna get you! while all the stoners freak out
I’ve seen exactly 1 Saw movie. My wife forced me to take her. Don’t think I’ll ever forgive her for that.
If they keep making these, they’ll eventually have to resort to shortening the number sequences to base numbers and exponents. Hey, why not? These movies already make me Saw logs.
Did j00 just make a maff joke?
Oh, new up too.
Saw V’s David Hackl back in the director’s chair.
Hey look, free joke!
Yeah, I did Erswi.
RDR²
If they’re using medeival roman numerals then Saw 150 will be called SAW”Y”…and that will be a long deserved apology.
(Also, sawy I had to do extensive wikipedia research to make that joke).
