SAW 7 Confirmed....3D

[Brodie]

This afternoon Lionsgate he'd their "annual" Saw press day where producer Mark Berg was on hand to discuss the 3-D process for their forthcoming Saw VII, which is to be helmed by David Hackl (Saw V). Read on for the skinny.

"Saw, just by the way it's shot, lends itself to being a 3-D movie," producer Mark Berg tells IGN. "We saw a test that somebody did, a minute of Saw transferred from 2-D to 3-D and it looked great. We're not going to transfer VII, but we'll actually shoot it in 3-D. We want to be able to build the sets in a way that takes advantage of depth. We're going to design traps to come out at you. The pendulum trap that opened the last movie would have been great in 3-D. There's a lot of the movie we're planning through the victims eyes, seeing stuff as it comes toward them. But I think the audience wants those moments where the weapon comes into the audience."

****ing stupid. This series should have ended a long time ago.

[The Stryker]

I can't take this series seriously anymore.

movies in 3D are overrated. It's fun the first time

[Spitfire]

I guess that's now officially the new horror movie gimmick. I agree the series should have ended loooong ago.

[Candy Kappa]

have to admit I liked the way the movies are tangled up in the story but keeping it up like this is ridicules.

maybe they'll make a subtitle "jigsaw's son's revenge!"

New? Its just film makers coming full circle with the 80's, it started with remakes (like a lot of flicks in the 80's), and then there was a bunch of lame 3d movies.

[Spitfire]

Well it's new now was what I meant, it died off for awhile. How could I forget Jaws 3? People just now started doing all this 3-D crap again. I personally hate it, it gives me a headache.

I actually read this on IGN a week or two ago. While I am a fan of the series (I don't care if you aren't, so bite it), I can't possibly see where the next three films could take the story - Saw VI was supposed to wrap up all of the lose plot threads. My mother, however, who is the biggest Saw fan that I know, is very hopeful for this.

I don't know why you seem hostile about your like of the series. I don't know that anyone said they -hated- the series...just that it should have ended a while ago. Saw 1 is still a very well done movie in my book...and Saw 2 being made, and the hype around it was exciting...the rest...meh. Its a fantastic idea...but the last few parts of the series have been less than good.

Isn't the old guy dead anyway? How long can they keep this going if the main character is dead?

Pre-emptive strike. Every time I've mentioned liking the series - online or elsewhere - it's like telling them you've got some un-curable, highly contagious disease. I've actually never met anyone outside of my family that's liked it. I apologize if it seemed kind of dickish, by y'know, I'm kind of tired of having to defend everything I like.

Dead for several movies, yes. He keeps showing up in flashbacks so forth. I'm surprised it's gone one this long without him in the lead, myself.

When is Saw Takes Manhatten out?

[Brodie]

Saw Takes Manhatten, now that's a SAW movie I'd pay to see.

****ing puppet does a skyward glance to a Ventrilloquist billboard.

"Hey, Jim, is there a way we can combine two stupid movie gimmicks, and put a film out by next fall?"

"Well there is this one thing..."

How can you say it's a horror movie gimmick? Animated movies are doing it more often than horror.

[Ra]

Christ, the last time I heard about Saw was when Saw IV was coming out. And even then I thought making a fourth movie was pushing it.

So... how's that dead horse going along Hollywood?

[Leo656]

First one was neat because it was a somewhat-original horror movie with an interesting twist... after that it was just another horror movie. I mean, pretty much the entirety of the first one was the build-up to the twist ending, without that all the sequels are just standard horror fare.

Seems to be, anyway. Saw 3 was the last one I saw. Probably get the rest on DVD eventually b/c Mary likes 'em, but seriously, enough is enough. Even Freddy and Jason didn't deserve this many movies.

Between this and Pirates 4, I'd say Hollywood is officially out of ideas, but... well, that's just redundant.

[Buffy]

Ugh, I stopped watching these movies after number 3. Enough is enough.

[saiyan_monkey]

Ive only seen Saw 1-2-3 and they were awesome. Im waiting to watch them as I find them to buy. Saw 4 doesnt seem to wanna be in my collection, Ive been searching for ages and because its only $10 the shop wont get it in.

[Sage Ninja]

it should have ended after the first...
