We’re just a few months away from the release of the Spierig brothers’ Jigsaw<\/em><\/strong>, the first film in the Saw<\/em><\/strong> franchise since 2010’s The Final Chapter<\/em><\/strong>, and a few details are starting to emerge, as well as the first picture, featuring Laura Vandervoort (Smallville<\/em><\/strong>, Bitten<\/em><\/strong>) having a terrible time.<\/p>\n

Speaking to EW<\/a>, directors Michael and Peter Spierig (Predestination<\/em><\/strong>, Daybreakers<\/em><\/strong>) gave some hints about what we can expect from the film’s tone, as well as whether or not we can actually expect to see Tobin Bell’s trap-loving maniac Jigsaw in the film.<\/p>\n

Peter Spierig said that “Bodies are turning up, and they\u2019re linked to Jigsaw \u2014 or a Jigsaw copycat,” but he wouldn’t answer the direct question about Bell’s role in the movie. “The DNA of Tobin Bell is all over this film.” Is this like when he donated blood to be used on posters for Saw III<\/em><\/strong>?<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking of blood, the Spierigs are keen to stress that there will definitely be blood and guts in Jigsaw<\/em><\/strong>, but that it will offer a slightly different tone. Michael Spierig said that “We\u2019ve got some pretty wild traps in the film \u2014 we don\u2019t shy away from the gore. It\u2019s such a perfect Halloween scarefest. It\u2019s perhaps not quite as vicious and more fun, which is something we tried to inject into it. But it\u2019s still full of good fun gore, that\u2019s for sure. And, on top of that, it\u2019s got a really great mystery, and there\u2019s very interesting twists. It\u2019s Saw<\/em><\/strong> for 2017.”<\/p>\n

Jigsaw<\/em><\/strong> stars Matt Passmore, Callum Keith Rennie, Cl\u00e9 Bennett,\u00a0<\/span>Hannah Emily Anderson, Laura Vandervoort, Mandela Van Peebles, Paul Braunstein, Brittany Allen, and Josiah Black.<\/span><\/p>\n

The synopsis as given by Bloody Disgusting<\/a> is as follows:<\/p>\n

Bodies are turning up around the city, each having met a uniquely gruesome demise. As the investigation proceeds, evidence points to one man: John Kramer. But how can this be? The man known as Jigsaw has been dead for over a decade. Or has an apprentice picked up the mantle of Jigsaw, perhaps even someone inside the investigation?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jigsaw is set for release on 20 October in the UK and 27 October in the US. Keep up with the latest horror news with the new issue of SciFiNow.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
