Saw films forever | Movie News
Rather than worrying about the speculation that builds every year around whether another SAW film will be released, Lionsgate recently announced that they'll be making SAW films for the foreseeable future. That's right, we'll be getting a SAW film every year until the end of time. Lionsgate realizes the popularity of the franchise isn't about to dwindle anytime soon so there's absolutely no reason to stop making them. Maybe in twenty or so years people will get a little annoyed by morality-based torture traps every Haloween but even then, it'll still make a killing on DVD. Alright, so they didn't really announce that. What they really announced was that SAW VI will be released on October 23rd of next year but at this rate, "till the end of time" isn't far off. As the box office numbers show, the franchise is really popular so they'll probably realistically go for at least three more movies. What do you guys think?

Extra Tidbit: Seriously, though, this franchise will never end.

Anywhoo, I love this franchise, always have. Ive said it tons of times before and I will say it once again.
the continuity between all the installments is crazy cool and almost flawless. Each entry is linked in some way to the previous ones, the timelines for each one are all intertwined and I really think they've done an amazing job with the writing. Sure, the acting isn't stellar, and there have been some installments that lack substance that others have had, but, considering the writers have been different on some of the scripts but still have great continuity I think just shows how strong the overall storyline through the 6 films is. It definitely is proof that they had a clear story arch to tell for 6 films and I think the series does a great job.
Every Halloween I go (this was the first year I missed it) and it's become a fun tradition for me. I wasnt old enough in the 80's to have a horror franchise I could go see every year/every other year so I enjoy Saw.
As long as they have a story to tell and there is money to make, then count me in.

if it is true that tobin bell is only signed on for 6 films, my best guess is that they'll stop the tradition there regarding releasing one every halloween. but expect them to probably sign up a few nobodies and release another three or so installments direct-to-DVD after that.

Of course, I am mostly joking, but I couldn't help but chuckle when I read the line "we'll be getting a SAW film every year until the end of time." What's more scary: the films or knowing that the series will never end? Maybe next we will see a movie where Jigsaw's torture is forcing his victim to watch a series of the Saw films, promising that they will never end! He can even thros in some of the recent remakes of classic horror films produced by Michael Bay, Sam Raimi (through his Ghost House production company), and others. Now that would be scary!

Saw V was an improvement, but not worthy of anything beyond 6.
God bless

It can continue think SAW,SAW II,SAW III was the trilogy with John and Amanda.
SAW IV,SAW V, SAW VI, trilogy with Hoffman. Hoffman dies from jill, as she carries on johns work.
SAW VII,SAW VIII,SAW IX trilogy with Jill.
SAW X will end the franchise.
GAME...

Tobin Bell is only signed on for 6 movies, and this will be it. If you actually follow the whole story arc, you realize it's coming to a close.
1 more movie. If they go beyond that, *then* I'll lose interest.
