Tobin Bell is making a comeback to the role that put him on the horror hound map. Jigsaw is coming back and we don’t mean a copycat for Jigsaw – we mean the real dude, John Kramer.
Kevin Greutert is coming on as director for the new film. He has worked on SAW: The Final Chapter as well as SAWs I through V as well as Jigsaw.
“What a thrill to be reuniting with Tobin. His performance as John Kramer is part of the magic that made this franchise a phenomenon and his character is an active part of this film.” said producers Mark Burg and Oren Koules.
The synopsis for SAW went like this:
Photographer Adam Stanheight (Leigh Whannell) and oncologist Lawrence Gordon (Cary Elwes) regain consciousness while chained to pipes at either end of a filthy bathroom. As the two men realize they’ve been trapped by a sadistic serial killer nicknamed “Jigsaw” and must complete his perverse puzzle to live, flashbacks relate the fates of his previous victims. Meanwhile, Dr. Gordon’s wife (Monica Potter) and young daughter (Makenzie Vega) are forced to watch his torture via closed-circuit video.
The next entry in SAW arrives October 27, 2023.
