At this point all I know is that they are planning a Saw 5 and Saw 6 which they do not have story lines for yet. Depending on the success of Saw 4 they will either make more or stop dead at Saw 4. In my humble opioun I reckon they should stop at Saw 4 and end it, but it looks like we might just be getting a whole lot more of Saw movies.

As many as it takes before the series eventually becomes another Nightmare on Elm Street/Friday the 13th/Halloween/Child's Play/Hellraiser-type series.

Oh, wait.............it already is. ermm

steverules
At least hellraiser has ended...right?

Discos
yep most likely 6.

check out wikipedia and search for the Saw Franchize and it'll give you some deets there. The man above posted the tag there.

6 at least.

I guess you can say that. Hellraiser 8 didn't have a "Pinhead is dead for good" ending but with the remake being made, I assume the series is done.

And I thought Children of the Corn was milking it.

5 and 6? 4 isn't even out and it will suck like 2 & 3!

Saw 1 made $54 million. Saw II made $82 million. Saw III made $70 million. And that's not including DVD sales and DVD double-dip sales.

Saw is way too profitable for little Lionsgate to sit on and not make more sequels.

what's the point of a new one? they're all the same, putting people in situations that gets worse as the movie continues. I wanna see a real movie, like HATCHET.

cruel jedi

As long as they made good movies, they can make as many as they want, i really like those movies!

Didn't Tobin sign a contract for 7?

Which doesn't necessarily mean there will be 7, but there will be at most I assume.....

Pandemoniac
Bell has signed for 4 & 5 at least, and indeed for maybe even more sequels. Not sure.
Kinda bothers me, as in order to keep Jigsaw a main protagonist in the upcoming movies they'll probably go the 'flashback-way' or do some origins of jigsaw stuff. 'Saw the Beginning' comes to mind...
They should have let it end with part 3, anymore movies will probably ruin what was interesting about the jigsaw killer in the first place.

Yeah, they'll have to do that if they want Amanda or Jigsaw to show up.

We'll just have to wait and see.

As long as the SAW movies continue to be hits and make a profit there will be a Saw movie every two years or so.

He's contracted to 10, I believe.

Saw 3 would've been a nice finish, given the ending. But with Saw 4, they have to keep going. The ending was too much of a cliffhanger.

some movies might never stop. Like Hellraiser, Halloween and the Chucky series also went pretty far. With some they stop at three because it might not be so good as the first parts but I enjoyed Saw I and II, III I didn't saw yet but till this far the movies are pretty great, this is good horror to my opinion.

This is gonna turn into a long saga for horrar fans . I think four is enough

Did you see 4? That'd be a really bad ending to the series. If they planned on stopping the series, the ending to 3 would've been nice.

well get saw movies till our pockets are bone dry!

Well you have to keep in mind that Saw never happens in sequence,so generally the movies will flashback and flashforward between the events of the present timeline of each film.It's why the notion of the Saw series going all the way up up to a sixth film doesn't sound so farfetched,with each movie you get more and more insight on the whole Saw universe.


Typically critics pan the Saw series for it's style of storytelling,but then we have shows like Lost that get praised for it.So go figure......




Anyway,it seems to me that one of Saw V's main focuses should be Jigsaw's dilemma of choosing either Amanda or Hoffman as his heir.The fifth movie will almost undoubtedly show how Hoffman became a Jigsaw follower in the first place,and reveal just how long Jigsaw and Hoffman have been in cahoots.(my guess is that it goes as far back as Saw II,it would explain how Jigsaw got his hands on so much confidential info)


I'd also like to see Saw V dive a bit more into Amanda.I mean,even though Amanda won Jigsaw's game and got a second chance at life,you can say that Jigsaw might of unwillingly released her homicidal tendencies.Although it would be hard to say whether or not she's a natural born killer,or if her rivalry with Hoffman pushed her over the edge.And then maybe this is why they planned Amanda's test in Saw III.So yeah,I'd really like if Saw V explores this concept.

Sadly, these movies will probably keep coming out until people stop watching them. I never saw the appeal in these movies. The first one was pretty good but had it's extremely dumb moments, Danny Glover's character especially. The rest of the movies have just been pointless glorified torture-porn with no solid story.

Evil Dead
f-ck it. let them make Saw 23.

There has been Friday the 13th 1-8, Jason Goes to Hell, Jason X, Freddy vs Jason..............for no reason whatsoever. Saw is atleast making money at the box office.........

atleast these movies make money unlike all the Hellraiser, Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm St., Leprachaun, Childs Play, etc. sequels. Hell.....they started putting some of those out straight to DVD.

Have you even seen the rest of the Saw movies? Jigsaw gets more and more character development with each movie,we get to see what drove him to become the man that constantly evaluates life,and tests whether or not an individual is worthy of life. I mean seriously,I don't think Jigsaw's motives are *that* hard to understand.Have you ever seen the show Intervention on A&E? Sometimes you just want to smack some sense into the people on that show.Well that's what Jigsaw does,but it's much more than a simple smack. =)






If you want pointless torture porn,go watch Hostel I and II.I just saw Hostel II and it's almost as dumb as the first one.The first half of Hostel is comparable to movies like Road Trip,Van Wilder,or Porky's and is mind-numbingly stupid and boring,while the second half just throws in a bunch of people getting stabbed by spoons or something.Hostel II is pretty much the same thing,instead just substitute girls for guys.So far the only detailed thing in either movie is the gore itself,there are no actual characters in both films.Right now it's just young people back-packing in Europe,they somehow get lured to the Hostel,sh*t happens.Pfft,the scene in Hostel II where the girl gets hanged upside down.....I mean geez,her ultimate demise was like something out of a student film.

I didn't say this motives are hard to understand. I understand the story just fine. I just said it wasn't a solid story, and the movies were pointless. Test whether individuals are worthy of life? "Um, you faked being sick a few times so you can call into work. Let's put you through an elaborate torture game and see if you try calling in again, you wicked bastard." Sorry, but that doesn't sound like a very effective story.

The thing that puts me off with movies is that they make a noce box set like Saw Quadrilogy and they say they are gonna make more . whats the point in buying the set ?

The Storyline For SAW 5 I Think......

Hoffman Needs To Find A Way To Stop The Police Finding Out He Is The ne Carrying On Jigsaws Legacy.
But Im Not Entirely Sure...I Got That Idea From IMDB

MildPossession
