The 53 second long SAW IV trailer that (wont?) be in front of Halloween

from House of Jigsaw:

Just wanted everyone to know the disappointing news, which is (obviously from the headline) that the Saw IV trailer WILL NOT be attached to Halloween. I know we all assumed that, but I have proof. I work at my city's theater, so every week we get an e-mail stating what trailers will be attached or enclosed with the movie coming. Well, Halloween's name was on there but there was no Saw IV listed under it. Instead there is (supposed) to be The Mist, Feast of Love, One Missed Call, and National Treasure 2. It's not even listed under Death Sentence.

It's a little blurry because I had to copy this list, but here is the sheet I am talking about...

Now what IS interesting is that the movie 3:10 to Yuma, which doesn't come out until September 7, has Saw IV listed under it. Here's a close-up of it...

What's interesting to note is that it says the trailer running time is 53 seconds. This seems a little short to me, but I guess something is better than nothing.

So I guess we still have yet another week to wait and see the trailer. I'm sorry to disappoint you guys, but I felt like you probably wanted to know. At least we know for sure now, I guess. And who knows, maybe, just maybe, the trailer for Saw IV will pop up under Halloween. Lionsgate may be yanking our chains or something. I try to be optimistic.

SAW IV's FINAL POSTER



It reminds me of the original SAW poster. When I first looked at the poster with the reverse bear trap on it I was like "wtf?" and this poster, this image makes me say that as well.

Saw IV Too Much for Comic-Con

Coming after Clive Barker and the panel for Midnight Meat Train might have been a tough act to follow, but director Darren Lynn Bousman and producer Mark Burg were up for it, having their first Lionsgate presentation in Hall H at Comic-Con International after years of doing the smaller rooms at the San Diego Convention Center. Their first announcement was that the MPAA had just given their first cut of Saw IV an NC-17 rating, and they would have to figure out what to do to, either to get it down to an R rating or decide whether to release it with that rating. They also had some problems with their planned Comic-Con clip, as they originally wanted to show the first five minutes of the movie but it was turned down, because it was "just too much" so they had to go with something else.

After a montage of clips from the first three "Saw" flicks, the crowd was treated to the famous line "Do you wanna play a game?" from Tobin Bell, who came out to join them and field a few questions from the audience.

Finally, they got to the clip, which similar to past years, featured one of the many deathtraps from the movie. It opened on an older bald man waking up on the floor of a room with a locked collar attached to a chain around his neck. He starts freaking out when he realizes that his eyes have been sewn shut and he can't see. He starts pulling on the chain to try to release himself and the camera follows the chain to another side where there's another guy (played by Justin Louis) and he has his mouth sewn shut. So the premise is that one guy can't see what's going on, and the other one can see but can't say anything. In between the two of them is a machine with gears that starts yanking on their chains pulling them closer to it and tightening the collar around their necks, and both of them start panicking. The blind man finds weapons (an axe and a sharp hook-like device) and he starts throwing them although he doesn't know what is pulling on him. The guys pull back and forth on the chain each one getting closer to the machine, though the lack of communication makes it impossible for them to work together on solving the puzzle. The younger guy spots a key on the back of the other man's neck and realizing that it might open the locked collar around his neck, he starts making his way over. The two men start fighting and the blinded man swings wildly with the hook and catches the mute man in the leg, blood starts spurting, and then the guy pulls the hook out of his leg and starts hacking the blind man with the axe over and over (or it might have been the hook--honestly, there was so much back and forth as they fought that it was hard to keep track). Finally, the mute man gets the key off the neck of his felled opponent and fumbles to try to open the lock on his neck but the chain pulls him closer to the machine and blood starts pouring out of his mouth because he's run out of time.

OFFICIAL SAW 4 POSTER/NEWS



It look's awesome.



"We broke the news last year that Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton - the dudes behind Dimension's Feast - would be penning Saw IV for Lionsgate. Now that the film is in post-production we also broke the news (here) that David Hackl would be helming Saw V and Saw VI. Today we learned that Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton will also be involved in Jigsaw's next two adventures writing the screenplay for Hackl to direct. Will Jigsaw return? Who knows... but what we do know is that Tobin Bell is signed on for six. More news as it comes in."

SAW 5 and 6 Director Announced!

From Bloody Disgusting:

Yes I'm still blind, but the news gets even better this evening. Your #1 source for all things horror, Bloody-Disgusting, has just confirmed through multiple sources that David Hackl, the production designer on Saw II, Saw III and Saw IV and second unit director on Saw II and Saw IV has OFFICIALLY been attached to helm both Lionsgate's Saw V and Saw VI, assuming a hole doesn't form in the Earth and suck the franchise in with it. Will Jigsaw return? I'm sure he will. But this news comes so early don't expect much more until we see how well Saw IV does, which Hackl was once in the running to direct.

SAW 4 Synopsis +1

Jigsaw and his apprentice Amanda are dead. Upon the news of Detective Kerry's murder, two seasoned FBI profilers, Agent Strahm (Scott Patterson) and Agent Perez, arrive at the depleted police precinct and help veteran Detective Hoffman (Costas Mandylor) sift through Jigsaw's latest grizzly game of victims and piece together the puzzle. However, when SWAT Commander Rigg, the last officer untouched by Jigsaw (Tobin Bell), is suddenly abducted and thrust into the madman's harrowing game, the officer has but ninety minutes to overcome a series of interconnected traps...or face the deadly consequences.

Rigg's citywide pursuit leaves a wake of dead bodies, and Detective Hoffman and the FBI uncover long hidden clues that lead them back to Jigsaw's ex-wife Jill (Betsy Russell). The genesis of Jigsaw's evil is unveiled, exposing the puppet master's true intentions and the sinister plan for his past, present and future victims.
