Rumor Control: Tobin Bell Teases Potential ‘Saw: Legacy’ Trap?
Update: We did the work and were able to put an end to this rumor. There is no rollercoaster scene in the film, although we can confirm we’ll see Billy the puppet!
There’s been a lot of speculating lately, maybe even too much, which is why we were trying to hold off running this story until we could confirm. But alas, it’s spreading like wildfire after Saw‘s franchise star posted the following to Twitter.

Yes, Tobin Bell, who plays Jigsaw in the Saw films, shared a shot of his puppet hanging around a rollercoaster. He included #SawLegacy, which made fans start asking whether or not Saw: Legacy, in theaters October 27th, has a trap that takes place in a theme park! We are looking into this and will update the story (see a above!) as soon as we can confirm.
We exclusively reported earlier this month that Bell would be reprising his Jigsaw role in the film directed by the Spierig brothers, Peter and Michael, who brought us Undead, Daybreakers and Predestination.
Bloody Disgusting also learned exclusively that ‘Saw: Legacy’ will begin with bodies turning up around the city, each having met a uniquely gruesome demise. As the investigation proceeds, evidence points to one man: John Kramer. But how can this be? The man known as Jigsaw has been dead for over a decade. Or has an apprentice picked up the mantle of Jigsaw, perhaps even someone inside the investigation?
The cast also includes Mandela Van Peebles, Hannah Anderson, Laura Vandervoort, Brittany Allen, Callum Keith Rennie, Matt Passmore, Josiah Black, Shaquan Lewis, Michael Boisvert, and James Gomez.
Saw: Legacy was written by Josh Stolberg and Pete Goldfinger, the duo behind Piranha 3D, Piranha 3DD, and Sorority Row.
Here’s Final Destination 3’s rollercoaster sequence just for laughs.
It was announced two weeks ago that Paramount is resurrecting the Scary Movie spoof franchise with a brand new reboot movie, which will likely arrive in theaters next year.
The new movie, a joint venture between Paramount and Miramax that will technically be the sixth installment in the franchise, is expected to go into production this coming Fall.
We don’t yet know who will be writing, directing or starring in the Scary Movie reboot, but two actors in particular have already expressed an interest in joining the franchise.
The first is Melissa Barrera, who can currently be seen in theaters in Radio Silence’s bloody horror movie Abigail. Barrera is of course also the star of Scream and Scream VI, which kind of makes her a perfect candidate to lampoon herself in a Scary Movie reboot.
“I always loved those movies,” Melissa Barrera tells the website Inverse. “When I saw it announced, I was like, ‘Oh, that would be fun.’ That would be so fun to do.”
The actress adds, “They have the iconic cast that did it, so we’ll see what goes on with that. I’m just excited to see a new one.”
In a tweet posted last night, Bailee Madison (The Strangers: Prey at Night, the upcoming “Pretty Little Liars: Summer School”) also threw her hat in the running.
Madison tweets, “Random but scary movie 6 hit me up cause I just feel like we’d have fun okay bye.” Your move, Paramount. And make sure you call Anna Faris and Regina Hall too.
Directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans, the first Scary Movie was released in 2000, just four years after Wes Craven reinvigorated the horror genre with his meta slasher masterpiece, Scream.
The film parodied horror movies of the time including Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and The Blair Witch Project, and the horror-comedy spoof scared up $278 million at the worldwide box office. The success of that first Scary Movie paved the way for an entire franchise of horror spoofs, five of them in total released between 2000 and 2013.
