Saw 7 is already in the works. Here’s what we know so far.
Saw 6 has had the first disappointing opening in the Saw franchise -
2004 – Saw – $18.2m U.S. opening weekend – $103m total internationally (not including dvd)
2005 – Saw 2 – $31m opening – $147m
2006 – Saw 3 – $33m opening – $164m
2007 – Saw 4 – $31m opening – $139m
2008 – Saw 5 – $30m opening – $113m
2009 – Saw 6 – $15m estimated opening
Then again Saw 6 had much of its audience stolen by the Paranormal Activity phenomena, and that won’t be around next year. Also, bizarrely, Saw 6 opened to the best reviews since the first movie, bucking the sharp decline – Saw (46% on rotten tomatoes), Saw 2 (36%), Saw 3 (26%), Saw 4 (18%), Saw 5 (14%), Saw 6 (44%).
The production budget of these films is around $10m, so after international takings and DVD, Saw 6 will still make a large profit. Nonetheless, the sharp drop in public interest since last year is a worrying development for fans.
Saw 7′s release date remains set for Halloween 2010. It’ll be directed by the man behind Saw 5, David Hackl, and shot in 3-D. “A lot of people just do the 2-D to 3-D transfer, but we want to be able to build the sets in a way that takes advantage of depth,” says Hackl. “We’re going to design traps to come at you. The pendulum trap that opened the last Saw movie would have been great in 3-D. …We’re planning a lot of the movie to be through the victim’s eyes, seeing stuff as it’s coming towards them, in their point-of-view.”
How many Saw films will there eventually be? “The storyline that we started in Saw 5 and carry through Saw 6, ends at Saw 8,” say the current writing duo. “Where it goes beyond that, I couldn’t tell you. In my mind, the story is threaded through Saw 8. After that, I can’t tell you that the franchise will continue.” Unless box office results bounce back next year, don’t be surprised if they really do end it at Saw 8.
Finally here’s a note for all of you who comment under this post. Saw 7 director Hackl said last week “Every time I go on the internet someone gives me a new idea for a trap. Every time people go on a blog and post an idea, we consider it. It helps inform how we write the script. We always look at what our audience is hoping for.” – In other words, they’re reading.
So what do you want to see happen in Saw 7? Which characters need to return? Do you have a great idea for a trap? Leave your comments below.
well a cool trap that i would like too see is a trap where two men have to help each other like how it was in saw 5, i would like to see them sitting in two seat back to back, them going on a roller coaster or something from an amusement park and plus the story behind these two guys are that they have been spending so much money at amusement parks, they also have been so disrespectful at these, and give so much crap to them, (haha sounds like a funny trap but i would laugh at this trap but it would be cool) and well their lesson is that they should quit being faggets, and put them on a roller coaster and the have to capture 7 keys on the way around the roller coaster, if they miss a key they are S.O.L and at the end of the ride there is a sharp object that will slice both of them in half, and plus the winner has to jump off when he has all 7 keys, haha so yup funny cool trap… well yeah…
I love your idea Colin!!
i saw the final saw movie the first day that it came out and i need to let it be known that i was highly dissapointed.it was said that saw 7 would clear up all unanserd questions but the movie just did not.in saw3(flash scene) when jigsaw and amanda were setting up the game that was played in part one(adam&dr.gorden`s game) you clearly hear jigsaw tell amanda to put the shackle on adams left foot and she does put it on his left foot, but at the end of part 2 when xaveir chases amanda and eric mathews son into the same bath room from part one you see adams body with the shackle on his right foot.maybe they made amistake while filming.i think they should have cleared that up,but nothing was said about that at all.also there were more mistakes in saw 7.when bobby dagen puts the hooks in his chest and fails to connect the electrical wire he falls to the ground and gets up with no wounds or blood on himself at all.another mistake is when they show dr.gorden being drag by jigsaw you see both feet are missing on dr.gorden,but in part one he only cut off one foot.the acting in the movie was terrible they could/should have done a much better job with the movie.i`m die hard saw fan and i think i could have told a much better story.they also left the end of the film opened,i`m unsatisfied with that.if anyone out there agrees or disagrees with anything that i said please feel free to email me and let me know what you think about the movie saw 7.holla back saw fans stormshadow3000@yahoo.com
Hey David Hackl, you didn’t end up doing Saw 6 or 7, did you read my comments? Probably not, oh well, if Kevin Greutert ever does, read the ones I directed to David Hackl, would be gr8 if you Saw filmmakers took notice, you might actually make better sequels if you do.
I would like to know where detective Eric Matthews son ended up when they showed he was in the safe the whole time.
Also, it would be great to know where Jeff’s daughter ended up after Saw,Amanda,the surgeon all died?
i’d love the movie to go to 8! but i like jill. i’d like to see a direction of the little grl. if that’s the daughter of dr. and man who lost son. jill should take her in and teach her evryone has a choice at the realization of jon’s efforts… along w dr. gordon’s expertize and take on a new saw… in the making. like maybe when she’s older and hoffmann is her first encounter.
What happened to eric mattews son on saw 2 wl he return on saw 8
