Death Beat ‘Final Destination’ Star, Can He Survive Jigsaw in ‘Saw VII 3D’?
For six straight years now Lionsgate has kept their lips sealed regarding the plot and casting for their forthcoming Saw film. They always give us just a morsel of info to get our brain-juice pumping. Thus far, Tobin Bell, Betsy Russell, Costas Mandylor and Tanedra Howard have all been confirmed for Jigsaw’s latest game, while a Saw forum is reporting that Final Destination star Chad Donella has also joined in on the fun (relive the magic below). Penned once again by Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton, shooting is now underway in Toronto, Canada under the eye of Saw VI director Kevin Greutert. Saw VII 3D is slated for release on October 22, 2010.

‘Thrill Ride’ – Ryuhei Kitamura’s New Thriller Traps People Upside Down on a Roller Coaster!
If you want to watch a fun movie, watch a Ryuhei Kitamura movie. Whether it’s 2000’s Versus, 2004’s Godzilla: Final Wars, 2008’s The Midnight Meat Train or 2022’s underseen The Price We Pay, Kitamura always knows how to deliver a wild and crazy good time.
Up next from Ryuhei Kitamura? Deadline reports that he’ll be directing Thrill Ride, which sounds a bit like the best parts of Final Destination 3… expanded into a feature film!
Deadline details, “the English-language film will tell the story of a group of people, including two young women, who are trapped upside down on a roller coaster taken over by a mysterious saboteur threatening to drop them all one-by-one to their deaths.”
Film Bridge International is launching the project for sales ahead of the Cannes market.
Chad Law and Christopher Jolley wrote the screenplay.
“Thrill Ride is exactly the type of high-concept based thriller that our customers are looking for in the marketplace,” said Film Bridge’s Ellen Wander and Jordan Dykstra. “With Ryuhei at the helm, we know his vision and execution will deliver thrills of the highest quality.”
“As a hardcore rollercoaster fan since I was young, I immediately fell in love with this script filled with suspense, action, crazy ups and downs, turns, loops, and corkscrews at maximum speed,” adds Kitamura. “I can’t wait to get on a ride and bring life to the wildest rollercoaster imaginable.”
We’re already seated. Stay tuned for more on Thrill Ride as we learn it.
