'Saw VII' is Coming Whether You Like it or Not - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 07-23-2009, 11:29 PM

With "Saw VI" due to open in the usual October slot, Lionsgate has greenlit "Saw VII" with a January start of production. David Hackl -- production designer of the second, third and fourth films and helmer of "Saw V" -- has been tapped to direct.

Mark Burg and Oren Koules, who have produced all six of the "Saw" pics, are back as producers. And scribes Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton, who penned the fourth, fifth and sixth films, are writing the seventh.

Lionsgate has worldwide rights in North America and the United Kingdom. The five "Saw" pics to date have grossed more than $700 million worldwide.

Dunstan and Melton, who broke into Hollywood via Project Greenlight, also wrote home-invasion thriller "The Collector," which opens next weekend through Freestyle Releasing. That pic also marks Dunstan's helming debut.

What's left to tell??

They're going to keep making them as long as they know the audience is there for them to make $$$. I feel that it has to stop at some point. I love SAW and all but it has to end.

I actually posted about SAW VII a few days ago but at the time the director wasn't announced.

Even if they stop making them they'll be remade eventually. They're milking the cash cow dry already.

Are they going to go with the Alan Smithee alias again?

Probably not. With this franchise people seem to want their name on it.

I think maybe the future movies will focus on new apprentices.

They're already doing that now with this F.B.I. guy. How many more apprentices can this go on for?

I agree there can't be many more apprentices but it seems that they might use that factor to keep making more movies.

Jeez, when will they put this franchise out of its misery.

It's redundant and unnecessary.
