More Planning, Big Gags Needed for Saw VII in 3-D

The next entry coming in 2010



A bit more lead time is needed to create Saw VII, which is hitting theaters in October of 2010.

Twisted Pictures producer Mark Burg told the press next year’s entry is slightly more expensive and involves more pre-production. Why? Because it will be shot in 3-D with Saw V‘s David Hackl back in the director’s chair.

Burg says he was impressed by a brief presentation he saw of the original Saw in 3-D and felt the series lent itself to the format.

“It’s worth it,” he explains. “We want to be able to build the sets that take advantage of depth. We’re going to design traps to come at you. The pendulum trap that opened the last movie would have been great in 3-D.”

He’s excited by the prospect of the next entry and compares some of the gags they’ve got in mind to My Bloody Valentine 3D. “A lot of the movie we’re planning where the victim’s eye, stuff is coming towards them. They’re point of view. I think the audience wants some Bloody Valentine-type moments where the gun comes into the audience and stuff like that.”

Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton are writing the seventh entry.
