Casting news out today regarding Saw 4. We get the information from our friends over at movieweb:Arrow in the Head has confirmed with Saw IV director, Darren Bousman, that Lyriq Bent will reprise his Saw III role as Rigg in the upcoming horror sequel. Bousman said to the site: “Yes Lyriq Bent is in fact returning… He is a great actor – and am very excited to be working with him yet again – on part IV. The story is much darker – more f**ked up – and much more psychological! Oh yeah and there is some blood too!”
Meanwhile, Bloody-Disgusting has learned from Bousman that Justin Louis has joined the cast of SAW IV. Louis is best known to horror fans as Luis, Sarah Polley’s husband, in the Dawn of the Dead remake. He can also be seen in Shooter, which is now in theaters.
For those of you that are fans of the Saw franchise I hope this is good news for you. It appears that the crew has stayed the same, which is always good for flavor continuity. I am not going to pretend to have seen the films – for those that have heard our podcasts you know I am a sissy when it comes to torture scenes.
That being said I will probably watch them sooner or later, just so I have a reference point when Saw 4 comes out and I have to discuss it for the international community of friends.
