UPDATE: Does Lionsgate Mishap Confirm Dr. Gordon’s Return in ‘Saw’ Franchise?
Update beyond the break. We had been hearing heavy rumors that Cary Elwes would be returning as Dr. Gordon in both the Saw videogame and in Lionsgate’s forthcoming Saw VI. While we learned that the studio changes the film depending on what type of news leaks, we decided to keep a safe distance from that rumor — until now. This evening Xbox Live featured Saw V on their platform for download, only the plot description wasn’t for the fifth film by David Hackl. Read on for the interesting synopsis.
Update: We’re being told this is for the game (if not a complete farce that both Xbox and iTunes used) and not the movie — although we’re also hearing Elwes could make an appearance in the sixth Saw film (although that’s supposed to be top secret and it’s being denied left and right), which goes along with reports that the game will tie into the film’s release in October.
B-D reader ‘JayKah’ writes into Bloody-Disgusting. “Today on Xbox Live Saw V was featured, but for the description of the movie it said:
‘One man. One plan. One foot. Yes, the doctor is in! With a strange twist of fate and a revengeful plot, get ready for the most anticipated event of Saw. Face your fears at his operating table. Know that no one is safe from his sickness. Chills and screams are his true pleasure. on…and Blood? You’ll be drenched in it.’ ”
Who else could they be talking about? It’s obviously the return of Dr. Lawrence Gordon. The question remains, did Lionsgate accidently send out the synopsis for the game, or for Saw VI? We’ll dig and try and find out more, but until then, check out the video below as evidence.
Paramount is heading to Sleepy Hollow with a brand new feature film take on the classic Headless Horseman tale, with Lindsey Anderson Beer (Pet Sematary: Bloodlines) announced to direct the movie back in 2022. But is that project still happening, now two years later?
The Hollywood Reporter lets us know this afternoon that Paramount Pictures has renewed its first-look deal with Lindsey Anderson Beer, and one of the projects on the upcoming slate is the aforementioned Sleepy Hollow movie that was originally announced two years ago.
THR details, “Additional projects on the development slate include… Sleepy Hollow with Anderson Beer attached to write, direct, and produce alongside Todd Garner of Broken Road.”
You can learn more about the slate over on The Hollywood Reporter. It also includes a supernatural thriller titled Here Comes the Dark from the writers of Don’t Worry Darling.
The origin of all things Sleepy Hollow is of course Washington Irving’s story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” which was first published in 1819. Tim Burton adapted the tale for the big screen in 1999, that film starring Johnny Depp as main character Ichabod Crane.
More recently, the FOX series “Sleepy Hollow” was also based on Washington Irving’s tale of Crane and the Headless Horseman. The series lasted four seasons, cancelled in 2017.
