David Hackl to Direct SAW 5 and SAW 6

SAWOkay, so we knew that SAW 5 was being prepped for a possible Halloween 2009 release. But like the last few releases, we thought that all depended on the success of the current release (ie the studio gives the official greenlight after the opening weekend). Apparently not. Lionsgate has already signed a director for both SAW 5 and SAW 6. No, it won’t be Darren Lynn Bousman, AGAIN. I think he has some work on that Repo musical.

According to our friends at FirstShowing, Lionsgate signed David Hackl, who was the production designer for SAW 2, SAW 3, and SAW 4. Actually, Hackle was even in talks to helm SAW 4 but the studio decided to bring Bousman back instead. Hackle did some second unit directing on the last two SAW films, and the studio thinks he’s ready for the big time. We’ll see.

    if saw IV is out, why is there news evey where saying saw 5 & saw6 are coimg out with saw IV?





    ANSWER ME!
  • Craig Osborne
    hello, im a huge fan of the saw movies. and I know that you guys have to bring back DR. Gordon. just seeing saw 4 everybody from the previous movies are dead except DR. Gordon and I remember in the first SAW he looked at Adam and said " I'll be back I promise". then he crawled out of the room. I wouls loved to get some feedback on this. cause I've been telling all my freinds since the first one that he will be back!!!!!!!!!!!
  • DR. Gordon will not be in anymore saw movies because he had lost to much blood with he sawed off his foot. in saw 4 detective mattews is back or how ever you spell his name but he gets he's head crushed by to blocks of ice a second before he can leave. but you see dr. gordon in the hallway in saw 3 on the ground. he is dead and adam you see he is dead also so none of the people from saw 1 is going to be in anymore saws but jigsaw and those are only flash backs i saw saw 4 yay
  • rob
    i bet danny glover comes back
  • danny boy
    yea, danny glover.
  • branman
    who is danny glover? i can not remember and i saw saw, saw 2, and saw 3 a million times and saw 4. that one was good.
  • Kyle
    To Branman:

    Danny Glover was in the first saw movie. He was one of the original detectives investigating the case. I haven't seen that movie since it came out in theaters but I'm pretty sure he died in the first one (There are WAY too many characters/detectives from the past movies for me to remember them all, lol). I forgot he was even in it until recently, I thought he did a good job playing the character, I just never would have expected him to be casted.
  • Kyle
    A few characters I have a feeling will be in the upcoming saw sequels:

    1. That huge buff guy at the begining of Saw IV that has his eyes sewn

    2. The prostitute that comes up to jigsaw while he is parked in front of the clinic waiting for his wife to finish closing and locking up.

    I don't know why, but I just have a hunch that the stories will expand around those two characters. Maybe its because almost every person they show has some sort of backstory that gets explained through flashbacks later on. Especially the prostitute because jigsaw gives her some sort of advice like "your a pretty girl, you shouldn't be doing this" or something like that. It will be interesting to see what happens.
  • john
    I don't think those two characters will come back because 1. the big guy with his eyes sewn was beaten to death by Art Blanc for the key on his neck, and 2. the prostitute that came up to jigsaw in his car was addison, the girl who put her hands in the iron bade trap in saw II in the house to get the antidote where she could put her hands in but not pull them out bc she got them cut depeer the more she tried to pull.
  • Douglas
    Dont forget people! Danny Glover died on SAW frist!!!
  • Big Dc
    To: Kyle

    The prostitute from saw 4 is in saw 2. She is the girl in saw 2 with the pink top on.
  • Kyle
    Oh ok, after watching it I thought she was familiar.
  • Michael
    Does anyone know where Casting is and the location ?
  • Saw Fanatic
    If all you guys paid close attention to the movie it just went back in time to tell us how everything started from the beginning. It's like the Star Wars sequels (Episodes 1,2,3). The Detective will be back also Rigg's wife is still missing they left that a mystery. ALso the FBI agent was closed in the freezer with Jigsaw at the end of SAW 3 if you seen SAW 4 and in the beginning of SAW 4 Jigsaw is laying on the morgue table so that leaves the FBI Agent alive and elgible for the next SAW and don't forget about Ms. Tuck, Jigsaw ex-wife. Plus Jigsaw said in the tape they cut out his stomach "Detective if you are listening t o this don't think the games are over because I'm dead they're just beginning" After that the movie goes back in time if you are paying close attention. Detective Kerry was killed in SAW 3. That's why I said thaat these next 2 will actually bring us right into SAW 1.
  • dan
    what the fuck is with the story line the whole movie plays out because of that tape in jigsaws stomach but at the end his body is still in the room from the third one when the fbi agent goes in there and the only reason he is at the meat packing factory is following rigg and rigg is following the instructions starting with that tape at the start can some body say some thing to make it make sense
  • SAW FREAK
    Jigsaw is dead and all this will not go back to saw one SAW FANATIC
  • Saw Fanatic
    To: Saw Freak
    I never said Jigsaw was alive. If you so much a Saw Freak then you would kno that SAW 4 had a parts of the previous 3 in it. The games for Detective Hoffman wil begin in SAW 5. SAW 4 is just letting us know why Detective Hoffman will be the new Jigsaw sidekick. How do you think Jigsaw knew so much about everybody he had to play a game. The man had Detective Hoffman as a source. Hoffman is the only person that we don't know about. His reason for playing the game will be revealed in the next SAW.

  • Soul Collector
    Where and what the hell is going on with Amanda Young? No death confirmation yet.. It looks like she's dead but like I said it hasn't been confirmed. If she's gone for good it's going to put a damper on the popularity of the new movies. Saw IV was already a bit less than tolerable due to the fact that too many new roles were assigned to too many new characters. I just pray for the sake of the legacy that they at least bring Amanda back or find a suitable replacement for her which would be hard to match because before SAW IV Amanda Young was the real face of the word SAW. If she is dead for good I won't be able to understand why they killed off their bread winner and began over. The new guy behind the face of Jigsaw, Detective whatever his name was just doesn't have the disturbed composure that John and Amanda carried and it's depressing to see my favorite movie series go south due to someone not being able to hack the psycho role that was presented in the first 3 movies. SAW IV was a bit of a let down and it should have been SAW 1 so that we could have gotten the drama out of the way early. It's turned from a horror suspense film into a soap opera. John went from a cold blooded unrelenting master of teachings to a guy you feel bad for and want to give a big hug to and tell him it's going to be alright. I watched the first 3 movies back to back over and over and I really have no desire to see the 4th movie any more than the two times I've already seen it. Please if you have any good news about the future of the best movie series ever, enlighten me. I don't really want to see all the hard work thats been put into this creation go down hill due to someone not having a clue how to progress a story that used to give me chills.
  • jigsaw getting jiggy with it!!
    OK. first things first.
    If your a saw fan and are complaining about Saw IV. your not a Saw fan at all. If you don't like it, don't watch the next ones to come out... End of story. stop having a sook.. the movies not a let down.. YOUR A LET DOWN.

    anyway..

    The beginning of Saw IV is now the set up to begin Saw 5!
    the movie began Jigsaw laying on the morgue table where his stomach was cut open and a tape was found. The movie then went BACK to all other aspects like the husband of the nurse that died because of amanda and jigsaws body still being in the room with allt the bodies (where he then consumed the tape).NOTE: saw IV is only supose to be 4 days from saw III when detective Kerry died. The beginning of saw IV in reality is in actual fact then end of saw IV. Thats how the detective walked away from the electric chair un harmed and then that let to the morgue scene!! get it?? got it???? GOOD

    All saws and confussing movies, however they all come together in the end. If you watch the movie closey you will realise that.
    i can honestly saw i cannot wait for more saw movies to come out!!
    bring it on!!!! =)
  • Soul Collector
    Dear Mr. Jiggy.
    How old are you? 12? I didn't post a question to be ridiculed but to seek an answer. Obviously that is too complicated for the mentality of the likes of yourself. I thought this was a "Hate Free" Bulliten board. Then Why the insults? I am a true SAW fan and I actually worked on the set of SAW 2 and 3. Maybe it was more of a let down because I wasn't there for this one but what ever. I will not throw insults back at you because you can't even handle answering simple questions. Theres a term for that... OCD. You have no bearings on your information you give nor do you even have a clue as to whats to come but I do. I have spoken with Shawnee Smith and I can answer my own questions but I wanted to see just how much information this page really offered. You honestly have no clue do you? Where exactly do you gather your information from? Obviously from the depths of your vivid imagination. The only people who actually know whats going to happen are people such as myself that have rock hard evidence that comes directly from the source. The producers and characters from the movies. Now if you have any questions that honestly need the attention of a reliable source I will be glad to answer them for you. In the future try to keep the negative energy to yourself and stop shedding it upon "Strangers".
  • jigsaw getting jiggy with it!!
    its Miss thank you.
    and no i am not 12 =)

    i didnt come on here to answer any questions i came to share my point of view... and that is what i did.
    if also didnt ask for yout life story.

    maybe you should relax because i never addressed anything i wrote to you.
    if you think your special because you worked on the set maybe you attitude is the reason your not on it anymore =P
  • i no you want me
    soul collector is lame.

  • ody
    i'm from greece and my english is a little bad. but i want to say:"saw is perfect movie!!!!! saw 1 2 & 3 i like very much.saw 4 i don't like very much but this is not end. to saw 5 & 6 we lurn how "work" together jigsaw and detective. i believe jigsaw trap detective ine the begin and he is help him. or the detective find jigsaw and he is not arrested him but they deal to work together and detective want from jigsaw to help him to trap detective mathius and all off this people's who them job is detective. jigsaw help detective with his brain and traps and detective help jigsaw with his information for everybody. to saw 5 & 6 we learn how begin this one. and i believe the movie will be perfect"
  • anthony
    whoever said that Amanda young is the face of saw is nuts. Amanda sucked dude! i was so happy when that psycho junkie b@tch died. She set up traps that were inescapeable And she was a weak human being. shes the definition of a person who doesnt appreciate her life, type of person john's targetting. I hated her character & hope shes gone For good, except to explain what was in her letter from 3. I personally hope dr gordon returns & he will in part 6. His last words "I'll be Back i promise"
  • Jeff Diegel
    saws suck
  • Jeff Diegel
    should i spend my time seeing saw 4?
  • sawfourwasohsoamazing
    saw four is definently worth seeing, though the ending is complicated it will all make sense once you really think about it or watch it a second time.

    i was a bit upset about the fact that jeff died just like that and we didn't find out what would happen to his daughter. also, i wish dectective mathews had more lines. hahaha

    the opening scene of saw 4 (autopsy) was actually after the events in the movie . once i figured that out, it made so much sense. lol.

    I WANNA SEE DOCTOR GORDON !! IVE BEEN WAITING TO SEE HIM IN SAW 4 BUT IT TURNED OUT HE WAS A NO SHOW :(
  • Saw 4 Fan
    hey guys i just wanted 2 start off by saying saw 4 isnt 4 days after saw 3 because in the beginning the detective says "Its been 6 months and Eric Matthews is still alive Jigsaws never kept his victms that long. And i also cant wait for Saw 5 im really lookin foward i love bloody gorey disgusting torture movies and i just think saw is the best kind of those movies so yea.
  • Nsmith
    Saw 4 Fan,

    The six months that Eric Matthews is kept alive happened between the events of the end of saw 2 and the current events of saw 3, thus making Saw 4 happen either simultaneously or very shortly after saw 3. Think about this. The movie ends up in the same room Saw 3 ended in and Jeff is still in there. He would have died of starvation after 6 months. Rather than the movie being Saw 4 it is more like Saw 3.5
  • anthony
    maybe the discovery of the video cassette in john kramer's body occurs 4 days after saw 3/saw 4 ends. Something most people can't seem to understand is that both movies are occuring at the same time. Not back to back but concurrently. Upon leasving the theater I was quite disappointed however now I realize the genious of Part 4. It was very different from any of the prior movies but I think its the best since the original. Yes it has less gore but it has better acting then part 2 (god did I hate the unconvincing acting of Amanda and Xavier) and its smarter than part 3. Best written horror series of all time, without question!

    Questions to be answered in parts 5 and 6...

    Why is Hoffman involved?

    What was written in Amanda Young's letter in Saw 3 that made her cry?

    What became of Dectective Strahm (the one Hoffman locked in the room with the bodies of Amanda and John?

    What about Rigg?

    Is Dr. Larry Gordon alive? This one I promise you will be YES he is!


    What happened to Daniel Matthews (Walberg's son) and Jeff's daughter? What about Dr. Gordon's wife or Rigg's wife? These questions will likely never be answred because they really aren't important to the story...
  • Ryan
    what happen to detective mathews son he hasn't been mentioned ever since saw 2 when he got outta the safe and the cops found him hmmmmmmmmmmmmm?
  • I Saw it, now you see it
    Timeline:

    Saw 1
    Saw 2
    6 months
    Saw 3/4

    Here's all of what I'm thinking so far.

    Dr. Gordon may or may not be alive. It may or may not be important. I'm not 100% sure, but I think I saw his dead body in Saw 2. As for his wife and daughter, who knows? Maybe his wife will try to find him and get dragged into a game.

    Detective Mathews son probably is a little nuts after the whole game thing and adding his dead father to it might make him crazier. In fact, he might even be happy his father is dead now. It's hard to tell. His character in Saw 2 seemed kind of soft and kind. Still, could he be helping Amanda and Hoffman? Saw 2's events were on a prerecorded tape, and just because he was found in the safe, doesn't mean he didn't put himself there.

    Amanda might not be dead. She might have even been instructed (by the mysterious note in the envelope) to take the bullet and play dead, cuz here comes wacky Strahm to play a game. It would be a valid explanation for what was in the envelope. Plus, unless Strahm too is in on it, how else is Hoffman going to get Jigsaw's body onto the examining table in the first place...

    Unless of course, one of the doctors is in on it too. I noticed one of the doctors acting a bit strange during the autopsy. He seemed to "know" something. Maybe he is testing Hoffman. Who knows. Plus, he looked somewhat like one of the cops that was with Hoffman and Rigg when they found Kerry's body.

    Did anybody notice that the "eyes-sewn-shut" guy looked an awful lot like one of the guys that Jigsaw's wife followed out of the hospital before Cecil came back and stole the drugs/"killed" their baby? I believe we may see more of him. Who was the other guy he was with? Art? Adam (the photographer) from Saw 1? I didn't get a long enough look.

    Hoffman has something to do with Rigg's wife. He knew that she had wanted Rigg to come with her to her mother's. She's probably held captive somewhere for Rigg to look for in Saw 5, since he's not dead yet either.

    I wonder who will find Jeff's daughter. I can't imagine her being in any danger. It's not Jigsaw's style to do so; however, in Saw 1, why did Amanda need to cut open the stomach of an "innocent" person to get the key to her collar. Why would Jigsaw do that? Maybe that "innocent" person has more to do with the story. And, remember that Hoffman had one of Jeff's son/daughter's stuffed animals at the office when Detective Perez asked him about being married. Hoffman definitely knows where Jeff's daughter is.

    As for Jigsaw's wife, there's a sh!t-ton more story to reveal about her. I can't be surprised if she's in on the whole thing. That's just too easy.

    And what was with the glass coffin of ice/glass that Jigsaw had when his wife left him at the warehouse? I don't remember seeing that one yet. Oh what fun an ice filled coffin would be for a trap.

    Maybe Danny Glover will zombify and kill everyone. Or not...

    Anyway, if anyone is interested, please add your thoughts to the mess. Either way, long live the genius Saw movies.
  • confused
    ok im a little confused ive seen all the saws,
    but if the autophsy is at the end of the movie
    how do they get the tape out of his stomach
  • anthony
    dear confused,

    they got the tape out of his stomach at the end of saw 4. There was nothing on the tape that let to the events of saw 4. it was ment to confuse you so don't feel bad. what was on the tape will lead to saw 5, or at least that is what appears to be the case. Not conpletely sure myself but that Saw for you. Once you think you have it figured out that throw some new stuff at you.
  • confused2
    ok this is prob a silly question but how can he be in the morgue where they cut him open to get the tape and still be in the warehouse where he died and the cop got trapped in the room in the end?? cheers
  • anthony
    They didn't discover Jigsaw's dead body until after all of the events of the film (Riggs test, Det. Matthews death) have occured. When the door is shut on Rigg Det. Hoffman leaves. Several days later they dicover Jigsaw's dead body, then they call Hoffman down to the morge to listen to the tape. Saw 5 will be his next test. When the dvd comes out watch part 3 and 4 back to back, it will make sence.
  • volkan
    yep..everythings like all over the place..but it definatly makes sense in the end.i was shocked about the whole clown thing..and how it represents his son :| ...i think all the characters are all connected in some way. but i dont get how they can drag it on and on although it goes back and forth to 1 , 2, & 3...but i cant complain..its still awesome :)
    nice theories guys =) keep it up
  • confused2
    ok but the cop Strahm was locked in the room by hoffman with all the dead bodies so unless strahm died in the locked room wouldnt they see the link between hoffman jigsaw etc as didnt strahm see him close the door on him??
  • BIG Dc
    Saw 4 is really Saw 3. Like some of you say it's Saw 3.5 and not really a 4. The end of Saw 4 are going to lead us into Saw 5 which will be a whole new chapter in the Saw series. For some of you who don't know, in Saw 2 when Matthews gets kiddnapped by hoffman (WHICH YOU SEE AS A FLASHBACK IN SAW 4) it then takes 6 mouths later for the events of Saw 3 and 4 to go down. Listen: In Saw 4, Hoffman tells Riggs to claim down he's been missing for 6 mouths. Matthews has been missing for 6 mouths. So Saw 3 and 4 take place 6 mouths after Saw 2. Saw 3 and Saw 4 are going on at the same time. Jeff is going through his game at the same time Riggs is going through his game. At the end they all met up in the same place just at different ends of the factory. Right after Jeff kills Jigsaw, That one FBI agent kills Jeff, and then Hoffman shuts the door behind the FBI Man. With Rigg, Hoffman just said "Game Over" and walked out of the room so Rigg is still alive.

    What i don't get is if Hoffman closed the door on The FBI man. Then how in the hell did they get Jigsaw to the morgue. How many days, weeks, or mouths was it after Hoffman closed the door on the FBI man and got Jigsaw to the morgue.

    So what really happened to the FBI man and Riggs?
  • BIG Dc
    Oh yea and they did say that lady who had her chest tore up was missing for 6 days. So i think after she was killed it was 6 days later. Saw after she was killed the rest of the movie (Saw 3) takes place 6 days later when Jigsaw takes the doctor lady and stuff.
  • confused2
    exactly thats what has got me! what happended to the fbi agent (stahm) thats trapped in the room, something must of happened to him as he would know that hoffman was involved and rat on him, maybe it will be revealed in saw 5??
  • I Saw it, now you see it
    Is anybody STILL confused?
  • anthony
    Dear Confused,

    You really need to pay attention. Strahm didn't see who closed the door on him. That's why Hoffman locked him in, so he wouldn't be discovered. Come on man The movie was complex, but not that complex.
  • Bailey
    if u look on google and type in saw 5 it will bring up release dates and production announcemeants even bout saw6
  • agent Perez
    maybe we get to now more about Sthrams friend. why did Jigsaw made a trap for her? maybe we are getting that in Saw 5
  • Big Dc
    To: anthony

    Yes we all know that Hoffman closed the door on Strahm (FBI Agent) but what has got us, or just me, is, how did Hoffman lock Strahm in the room with Jigsaw and the others and then have Jigsaw's body at the morgue? Strahm and Jigsaw were locked in the same room together. All I'm saying is Hoffman must have done something to Strahm in order to take Jigsaw's body out and take it to the moruge. At the end of the movie you just see Jigsaw's body and not Strahm, so that means that the police didn't find, have, or know were Strahm was. So the question is?

    How did Hoffman get Jigsaw's body out of the same room Strahm was locked in, and then take it to the moruge?
