New rumors now have Lionsgate prepping to film both Saw V and VI next year and actually leave 2008 without a Saw film, but I have a feeling a lot of that hinges on just how well Saw IV does this weekend. I think Lionsgate is just testing the torture horror genre to see if Hostel II was just a fluke or if people truly no longer interestedin watching people get killed in weird and excruciating ways.
Considering Saw IV has been the most looked at preview for about a month now on the site I am starting to think a nice little low-to-mid $20 million weekend is ahead for the franchise and a fifth film gets the green as soon as this writers strike is worked out.
However, as for Saw IV, and these new stills. I really think this might be the last batch we get and since Lionsgate is again not screening this one for us either we will have to wait and see what it is like once it hits theaters. For now, click here or on Jigsaw above as he lay on the cold autopsy table to check out our five new looks at the film.
