Saw 4’ has yet to come in theatres for a few more weeks, but in two months time, the fifth installment to the popular series will start filming.
Michael from MoviesOnline gives us this:
SAW 5 will begin development just after Xmas. Hackl told us that Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan will be working on the script and they will be going into production after Xmas.
It’s official. The ‘Saw’ series have become the millennium’s “Friday the 13th/Nightmare on Elm Street” franchise. Although, is it a wise decision to start filming ‘Saw 5’ when the commercial success of ‘Saw 4’ will not be determined for a few more weeks? My guess is ‘Saw 4’ will probably be left on a cliffhanger note, and fans of the series will probably watch the fifth installment. As much as the series is bashed continuously on the net for its seemingly endless sequels, the movies still make a lot of money and most likely will continue to do so. (At least on DVD)
David Hackl is set to direct the next installment and Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan (writers of ‘Feast’) are the official writers for the next film.
So what are your thoughts? Are you guys going to watch the next few ‘Saw’ films?
