With his new apprentice Amanda (Shawnee Smith), the puppet-master behind the cruel, intricate games that have terrified a community and baffled police has once again eluded capture and vanished. While city detectives scramble to locate him, Doctor Lynn Denlon (Bahar Soomekh) and Jeff (Angus Macfayden) are unaware that they are about to become the latest pawns on his vicious chessboard.

October 25, 2006: Hostel 2 in German?:
We're all well-aware of Lionsgate's "unique" marketing techniques. From releasing posters they know won't pass censor approval to pretending to debut clips in theaters

October 25, 2006: INT: Shawnee Smith:
For
the first two SAW movies, Shawnee Smith only did interviews paired

Don't tell me you didn't see this coming. Considering SAW III is about as
guaranteed a box office success as any film can be, you had to expect that we'd be getting down to discussing future installments sooner rather than later. Of course,

The folks over Moviefone recently posted the final trailer for the upcoming SAW III

make a poster they were working on really pop, they decided on something so glaringly obvious, it's surprising they hadn't thought of it before - blood. And not just anyone's...

September 13, 2006: Saw 3/Fountain updates:

August 28, 2006: Saw 3 gets 2 more:

June 28, 2006: Saw III teaser poster:
