More sequel news from the official Saw website through Movies Online. No sooner has Saw II been released than they’ve announced the next installment!
“First of all, thank all of you for your support. The SAW II opening exceeded our wildest expectations and you guys had a lot to do with it.
So THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
Now.. a few comments.
- RELAX!!!! We just finished SAW II. Yes, there’s going to be a SAW III, and yes, we will do our best not to fuck it up. We’re going to try for next year, but if it’s not right when we’d have to start shooting, we’ll wait.
- There are NO CONFIRMED cast members for SAW III yet.
- There is no director confirmed yet.
- The title is not S3W. That’s ridiculous. It reminds me of when everyone thought the title of SAW II was SAW II: HACKSAW.
Let us catch our breath, and then we’ll keep you posted on the next installment.”
Well there’s only one motivation for this and he’s said it quite clearly. The opening. So the numbers were enough to entice them to do another one to get more money. Call me cynical if you wish, but that’s the way life is, and if they were making movies for the sheer enjoyment of the audience, I’m sure we wouldn’t be seeing another sequel.
Still, saying that II has been getting good reviews, and the first was really good. Is it worth another crack at the story?
