This isn’t much, but it’s a very slow news day (must be this goddamn heat!) and I know a lot of you folks like your SAW news… In a red-carpet interview with ShockTillYouDrop, actress Julie Benz spoke a little about her SAW V experience, and what kind of character she portrays.
“I play a very unlikeable character… Her name is Brit and she’s a real estate developer. That’s all I can say. You know how those things are. You sign your life away in blood.”
What you can take away from this is that “Brit” is most likely the object of Jigsaw/Hoffman/whoever the f*ck the writers conjure up as the new villain’s deadly “game.” Certainly Benz won’t be portraying one of the series’ throwaway victims…
Benz goes on to say: “They were all laughing because it was my first time doing a movie of that genre and I of course had to have a bucket on standby because I was getting nauseated and thought I was going to throw up. Some of the things I had to do was really grossing me out.” That’s a SAW movie for you, baby!
SAW V, directed by David Hackl and written by Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton, opens October 24 of this year. Alongside Benz, it stars Costas Mandylor, Tobin Bell, Meagan Good, Scott Petterson, and Betsy Russell… Let’s see if there’s any more of this dead horse to beat!
