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.

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.
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.
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.
