SAW Back to Back

Last Updated on July 27, 2021

Honestly, I find any excuse to put up photos of Dina Meyer and Shawnee Smith, and this is why I bring you this little tidbit of SAW news.

B-D got the word that SAW V and SAW VI, being written by Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton and directed by David Hackl, will in fact be shooting back to back come the new year. Usually when I hear of things like this I think of how poorly MATRIX RELOADED and DEAD MAN’S CHEST ended. There was absolutely no closure as a piece of cinema and therefore royally sucked.

But then I think, “hey it’s SAW and I really don’t care anymore…” and I’m happy because it potentially means the death of the SAW corporate machine. And to further fuel this hypothesis of mine, it was also slipped through the grape-vine that October 2008 may not exactly be SAW-lloween after all.

We were told that as of right now Lionsgate is planning on skipping October 2008 for the next Saw film…

Could it be that this time someone said “Hey, maybe we should think these things through?” Doubtful, but I’m excited now. Come next July I won’t burst out laughing obnoxiously loud when I see a SAW trailer in theaters. I can actually look forward to maybe, just maybe, something worth while in place of it.

I’d still like to see Shawnee Smith in something next Halloween, preferably where she looks hot.
