Well is you saw the end of Saw 2, then you knew this was coming. It’s been officially announced that Saw 3 is on it’s way… and will be in theaters in time for Holloween of THIS YEAR (man they crank these things out fast).
The good folks over at CHUD give us the following:
The first two Saw movies proved exponentially profitable both theatrically and on DVD, so a third torture experiment isn’t a shock (we’ve been assured that it won’t be titled S3W, at least). Saw II director Darren Lynn Bousman is returning for the triple threat, with the original film’s team Leigh Whannell and James Wan working on the story.
According to the production company Twisted Pictures: “We believe that we are developing a script that is certain to please the Saw franchise’s core fans while adding fresh, terrifying and unimaginable new twists to the Saw saga. Jigsaw himself would be proud.”
I haven’t been thrilled with the Saw films yet… but at the same time I haven’t minded them either. As a matter of fact I’ve actually enjoyed the “twist” ended for both of them quite a bit. Still, I’d hardly call the Saw franchise a “horror tradition” just yet, even if they do release one every single Holloween.
