Rumor Control: Blood WILL Flow in Lionsgate’s ‘Saw VI’
While other websites are making assumptions (and you know what that makes…) based on the Lionsgate firings, we can confirm that Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures are currently working on the screenplay with Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton for Saw VI with plans to shoot the film for its regular October release in 2009. Anyone who thinks Lionsgate would abandon the one successful franchise that they own is out of their minds. SAW V is already close to making the same amount theatrically as the fourth, according to the Box Office Mojo. Unless things change, the plan is to have SAW VI directed by Kevin Greutert.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
