Paramount vs Twisted Pictures/Lionsgate Day 2: Greutert Being ‘Tortured’
Poor Kevin Greutert, you’ve got to feel for the guy. I understand business is business and contracts are contracts, but when you’re using a guy just to get back at a studio that’s just wrong and lacks in ethics. I also understand that there’s a lot of money riding on this whole feud between Paramount and Twisted Pictures/Lionsgate, but seriously folks, when is enough money enough? After six Saw films, these guys will never have to work another day in their life (if they don’t want to), while Greutert is just starting his filmmaking career. In my opinion, forcing Greutert back to direct Saw VII 3D instead of Paranormal Activity 2 – just so the two films won’t open against each other on October 22 – is like watching the producers of the Saw franchise dive into a charity fountain and swim for quarters. Am I wrong? Please, tell me if I am. Anyways, Greutert published a blog earlier today expressing his pain in the situation. It’s shocking to see something so public before a film goes into production — but wouldn’t you be pissed? Read what he had to say below.
Get up to date on the situation by reading here and here:
Removed from Kevin Greutert’s blog
“I just had the task of telling my 83 year old mother that no, I’m not going to be allowed to direct the movie we were all so excited about when my family last got together, and that I’m being forced to leave town before getting a chance to see her again. Yes, I’ll be filming people getting tortured YET AGAIN. So we’ll have to put off me making a film she can actually watch for another year. I’m not making this shit up.”

‘Pan’s Labyrinth’ 20th Anniversary Trailer Heralds Return of Guillermo del Toro’s Dark Fantasy to Theaters
Guillermo del Toro’s masterpiece Pan’s Labyrinth is headed back to theaters for the film’s 20th anniversary this Halloween season, and the official 20th anniversary trailer has arrived this morning.
Bloody Disgusting’s parent company Cineverse is teaming up with Fathom Entertainment for the Guillermo del Toro’s Pan’s Labyrinth 20th Anniversary release, which is coming to theaters nationwide on October 9, 2026.
Pan’s Labyrinth will be presented theatrically for the first time by Cineverse and Fathom in 4K, and with versions available in both 3D and HDR by Barco – the dedicated HDR viewing solution offering up to 6 times higher peak luminance.
Each version for this re-release has been overseen by the patron saint of monsters himself, Guillermo del Toro.
Some stories never leave us.
The Academy Award-winning dark fantasy is set in the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War and follows a young girl, Ofelia, as she meets an ageless Faun who tells her she’s a princess and that she must prove her worthiness by completing three dangerous tasks.
Written and directed by Guillermo del Toro and produced by his company, Tequila Gang, the 2006 dark fantasy film stars Ivana Baquero, Maribel Verdu (Y tu mama tambien), Doug Jones (Hellboy II), and Sergi Lopez (Dirty Pretty Things).
Tickets for Guillermo del Toro’s Pan’s Labyrinth 20th Anniversary will be available online September 9 and at participating theatre box offices (theatre locations are subject to change).
Cineverse invites you to help celebrate 20 years of Pan’s Labyrinth by sharing your own Pan’s Labyrinth memories as part of our #PansLegacy celebration this year.
