Director of Saw 2 and 3, Darren Lynn Bousman, is coming back to direct Saw 4. This is interesting to me since I had previously heard from some people that Darren wasn’t interested in doing another Saw film. But, when the franchise makes over $400 million and cost about 32 bucks to make, then the studios will probably throw around the green a little bit more to entice the director back.
Yahoo News gives us this:
“It’s not often that a filmmaker is given the opportunity to follow a genuinely compelling character through two films, much less three,” Bousman said. “So I’m very excited about picking up the reins on ‘Saw IV,’ and delving even deeper into the Jigsaw legend.” “Saw IV,” is slated for worldwide release on October 26. The “Saw” series, which dominated the Halloween box office for the previous three years, has thus far grossed more than $400 million worldwide.
I’ve pretty much enjoyed the Saw films for what they are up to this point, although I must admit that I didn’t really care much for Saw 3. Saw 2 in my opinion didn’t get enough credit… but that’s just me.
Oh by the way, the picture is of Darren and part time Movie Blog Podcast co-host Serena Whitney.
