Missy Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Despite the abysmal opening weekend of SAW VI, word has it that Saw VII and VIII are still slated for October 2010 and 2011 releases, respectively. It's also being said that the seventh fill will take advantage of the current 3D trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted October 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 It should be noted that this was said by the producers before Saw VI tanked, so it might not happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 OH MY DEAR KITTEN JESUS GOD CHEESE ALL MIGHTY ON A FUCKING POGO STICK, what does it take to kill this franchise? So what, we get to see yet another person get their head torn off in 3-D? Maybe seven will be a lucky number and it'll be the killing blow. They have to be running out of ways to connect sequels to the first film by now. In the next one, it's revealed that Jigsaw's pet tortoise, Mr. Pinchy Flippers, has been setting up half the traps.

JackFetch Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 It doesn't matter how bad the opening was. They are cheap to make, and turn huge profits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 To be honest, I'm surprised it took them this long. Anyone noticing Saw is becoming this generations Halloween or F13th? I mean, they churn out sequel after sequel, with the same villain, and pretty much the same plot, but they still make a profit, and are able to make enough to justify a sequel. Before anyone says "But they were GOOD movies" well yes, some of them were, but look at Friday the 13th, 9 films, and two were actually any good. Halloween, first one was great, then they change things after the third, they then fall back on the Michael plot line. Also, Saw has a cult fan base, who don't care about the flaws, a bit like fans of classic horror movies. Maybe that's just me, maybe I just thought way too much into it.

Guest Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 At least half of the Friday the 13ths were good. And even then, those crappy 80s slasher movies didn't spend 90 minutes telling you how smart they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It treats you like a tit for watching them for the first 89, and then the last minutes spent on the "Look how smart we are, play my music!" part.

Dread Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 The new thing is a show of confidence,"our movie is so good, the sequel's already plannned." We'll see. In fact, the next one probably won't be 3D, it'll be cinema verite like the good film that's just kicked its ass. Handheld Jigsaw time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted October 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 It doesn't matter how bad the opening was. They are cheap to make, and turn huge profits. Of the previous films this is true. However, this opening weekend is a bad sign for the series. Saw VI cost $11 million to make, and, yes, it's made its money back and almost $4 million more. But that said, excluding the first one, all of the other movies made their budgets back plus at least another $20 million in just the first weekend. Will we see Saw VII next Halloween? Most likely. But I wouldn't be surprised if that's the last annual entry in the franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc20willsave Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Saw VII is getting released on the 22nd of October(Same day as Paranormal Activity 2). Damn, I was really hoping that the Fifth Anniversary Episode of Earth-2.net The Show would cover it (Since Episode one covered Saw 2.). Oh well, guess Mike isn't going to celebrate the anniversary of Earth-2's flagship podcast with hitting his head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tnr105 Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Eh, no interest in that either really. Not that into horror (sorry Des), but I couldn't help watching the Saw franchise after all the lambasting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadzilla Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Cross posting alert: This will also be on the Paranormal Activity 2 thread, as it applies to it as well. Lionsgate "orders" Saw VI director to make Saw VII 3-D and he is pretty pissed about not getting to make Paranormal Activity 2. The quote about making a horror movie that his 83 year old mother could watch is priceless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chadzilla Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Well, he got caught being quite angry and venting online about it. And he has every right to be. But... I have started wondering. When the lawyers called with the news, did they as they told him: Hello Mr. Director... Time to play a game, a game called payback. It is time for you to suffer as those that have watched your film have suffered. You thought you chose the safe path to a career, you didn't. Now you will know the meaning of pain, as you attempt to navigate your way out of this torturous trap called the making of Saw VII 3D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 You singed the contract and will now be making all the same effects with 3-D. Have a fun time Mr Director.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
