Gettin' Jiggy with Saw IV
He slices. He dices. And despite seemingly ending up on the slab in his latest horror show, Jigsaw's coming back for more.
Fresh off the success of Saw III, which opened to a scary good $33.6 million in ticket sales over the weekend, Lionsgate Films has given the go-ahead for a fourth installment of the gorefest for release next Halloween.
Talk about your no-brainer.
The studio made it official on Tuesday, the day after final box-office tallies revealed Saw III posted the biggest debut yet for the franchise, which began with 2004's Saw, which starred Carey Elwes, Danny Glover and Tobin Bell. The latter plays the series' sick-in-the-head star, Jigsaw, a serial killer who metes out justice to his morally vacuous victims by laying intricate traps that force them to do all his horrifying handiwork for him.
The James Wan-directed original cost $1.2 million and grossed $18.1 million its opening weekend on its way to a blood-curdling $102 million worldwide. Saw II, with a reported budget of $4million, unspooled the following October and slashed its way to $31 million its first weekend domestically and grossed $144 million worldwide.
At $10 million, Saw III is the costliest of the bunch but is shaping up to the be the biggest yet. While the sequel answers lingering questions about the motivations of the series' crafty killer, it also poses new ones, leaving the door open for Jigsaw's return. However, exactly what scribe Leigh Whannell and Saw III helmer Darren Lynn Boursman have in mind for JIgsaw in Saw IV remains a puzzle itself.
Although we're guessing the mystery tape Jigsaw leaves behind for protégé Amanda (Shawnee Smith) might be a clue...
"There will continue to be Saw films as long as they're popular and the fans continue to love them," Whannell, who costarred in the first installment and penned all three flicks , told MTV. "We're cagey about Saw IV, and the reason we're being cagey is because we just don't know."
That's partly because they're making it up as they go.
As for Bell, he says he's definitely up for more grotesque fun and games, as long as the filmmakers go with their gut instincts.
"I would like IV to be better than III, and V to be as good and as rewarding as IV," the actor told MTV. "[I'd come back] if I can contribute and find more of John Kramer's voice—if I can create some counterpoint [to the torture] by bringing some humanity."
Ah, the humanity. We already smell Oscar...or is that decomposing body parts?
