Original SAW creators James Wan and Leigh Whannell are officially returning to guide the franchise’s next sequel, bringing Jigsaw back toward the dark psychological horror that started everything.
James Wan says the new film will explore John Kramer’s philosophy, make Jigsaw genuinely frightening again and capture the ominous presence he carried in the original SAW, while still giving the franchise something fresh.
Blumhouse has promised that Wan will be “hugely involved” after acquiring part of the franchise rights, with Whannell also returning in a creative capacity. However, the project has not officially been described as the final SAW sequel, and no release date has been announced yet.
SAW has been around now for more than two decades, and James Wan and Leigh Whannell are returning to remind everyone why Jigsaw was terrifying in the first place.
If you haven’t seen the original SAW film, and by that I mean the original 10 minute short film written by James Wan and Leigh Whannell, directed by James Wan and starring Leigh Wannel, then why not watch it below:
