NOTE: SAW IV Director Darren Bousman just confirmed to us that the details
within this story are true. He gave us this quote:
"Yes Lyriq Bent is in
fact returning… He is a great actor – and am very excited to be working with
him yet again – on part IV. The story is much darker – more fucked up – and
much more psychological! Oh yeah and there is some blood too!"
Casting is starting to trickle in for SAW IV. The other day we told you that Scott Patterson had joined the cast, and now we can tell you that
3 different sources close to the production have told us that Lyriq Bent will return for
this fourth go-round of the franchise. Not only that, we also heard that the film itself is actually CENTERED around his character
of “Rigg.”
That’s all we know about the plot for now, but as the production date looms (April 16), I’m sure the info will begin to pour in.
While not at all perfect, I like that the SAW movies keep bringing back characters, creating some kind of continuity. Most sequels in franchises such as this will only have a tenuous relationship with the others. The Jigsaw character certainly keeps tabs on people.
What do you think? Dig this angle for SAW IV? Or are you saying “Just END already!!” Spit those bullets and let us know!
