Will ‘Saw 3D’ Truly Be the End of Jigsaw’s Reign?
Both Lionsgate and the producers at Twisted Pictures have been pushing the idea that Saw 3D, arriving in theaters October 29, will be the end of the franchise (even though it’s been publicly stated that 8 films were planned). Actress Besty Russell, who plays Jigsaw’s wife, Jill, told PopWrap that an eighth film has already been conceived. “Before we thought it was ending [with ‘Saw 7’], the writers came up with an unbelievable idea [for ‘Saw 8’],” Betsy revealed. “It’s an amazing story that I would love to see.” Did anybody really believe Saw 3D would be the end? I guess if it were to bomb at the box office we’ll be having a completely different conversation…

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.
