Seriously? If you want to make that many f**king sequels just turn it into a TV show...

Also... 3D? Really? 3D in horror films suck. It sucked in Friday The 13th part 3 and it sucked in Nightmare On Elm Street 5! Yes, Avatar was awesome... But Avatar knew that to have good 3D they need to NOT make sh*t pop-out at you!

Now wait a minute! It's Saw 7 but there is a link to http://www.saw6film.com/! What the hell?!

I noticed that movieweb page is out of date. It still has David Hackl as directing it. They decided to get the Saw VI Director Kevin Greutert back to direct it a week before they started shooting (therefore firing David Hackl) as Kevin Greutert had just signed on to direct Paranormal Activity 2 (which will open same weekend as this) which will be direct competition - so Lionsgate decided since they contractually can make him direct it, they would to screw over Paranormal Activity 2!!

They started shooting on Monday I believe.

Ah, Well Movie web is usually behind on things. The Legend Of Zelda movie was still listed on there even after it was revealed to be a joke. It took a while to come down.

That's a shame.  I'd love to see a Legend of Zelda movie, much more than I want another Saw film. 

hehe... I'd guess the Saw series is going to Jump the Shark lol

GOING to jump the shark? That happened 3 sequels ago, my man.  :wink:

From what I've seen of the series, it jumped after the first film. 

Jumped the shark after part III maybe, but the latter ones are still entertaining and pretty intricately-made. I'll admit for a continuity-heavy series like Saw, 7 films is pushing things but I hear this one may be the last (and honestly, with cliffhangers like IV, V, and VI's I'd be disappointed if they stopped at those!).

That's debatable, but I respect your viewpoint. The first was by far the best, and a refreshing film when it came out.

It jumped the shark in the normal sense - the first film was the peak of the series, even if the sequels were still watchable. 

It jumped the shark, screwed up, and is now a pile of shark sh*t.

I'm actually waiting for Saw LXXXII in 5-D, but this could be interesting.
I think this is the one when they reveal the killer to be a chimpanzee.

Well . . . ?

While horror sequels do have a diminishing return at the boxoffice, there have been some economic studies that show that a horror sequel normally will make more money than a stand alone horror film.

They hope to retain some of the audience that saw parts "II" to "VI."

And by doing the film in 3-D, they can charge the people who see it, $2.00 more a ticket than if they did it in 2-D.

And that's why we're getting "Saw VII" in 3-D. Though, I have no intention of seeing it.

 :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle: :thumbup:

I guess all they do is Jump the sharks...

That first Saw movie was total BS...

I've never seen Saw. I can neither concur nor retort. But This many sequels and the fact that it went the way of Halloween is enough to make a board.
