Saw 2-4 director Darren Lynn Bousman talks return to franchise with Spiral!

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

It was a genuine shock when it was announced that Chris Rock and Samuel L. Jackson were going to star in an upcoming SAW reboot called SPIRAL, directed by SAWS II-IV Darren Lynn Bousman. Now, Bousman talked to Comicbook.com about his experience with the SAW franchise, and if he'll return to anymore sequels if SPIRAL turns out to be a success:

One thing I’ve taught myself is never say never because you might come back. So I will say this: there is something magical about the Saw universe and there is something that is so undefinably special about Saw that I can’t articulate it… So, I don’t know. It was a great feeling coming back. I’m obviously just distraught that it was pushed, but also, that was the absolute right decision given where we are in the world right now.

And here's the new synopsis for the film:

A sadistic mastermind unleashes a twisted form of justice in SPIRAL, the terrifying new chapter from the book of SAW. Working in the shadow of an esteemed police veteran (Samuel L. Jackson), brash Detective Ezekiel "Zeke" Banks (Chris Rock) and his rookie partner (Max Minghella) take charge of a grisly investigation into murders that are eerily reminiscent of the city's gruesome past. Unwittingly entrapped in a deepening mystery, Zeke finds himself at the center of the killer's morbid game.

Meanwhile, SPIRAL is expected to play a game in theaters May 21st, 2021…but we'll keep you updated if there are any changes or delays.
