Is This the First ‘Saw: Legacy’ Casting?
We may have the first casting for the tentatively titled Saw: Legacy, which has been filming in secret for the better part of the month.
Alex Armbruster is allegedly a stunt double in the eighth film in the franchise, according to the untrustworthy IMDb, which carries one interesting footnote: Armbruster is said to be Josiah Black‘s double.
Black was seen in Kindergarten Cop 2 and Ted 2, while Armbruster has worked on such films as X-Men: Days of Future Past, RoboCop, Carrie and even Suicide Squad.
There’s still no word on if we’ll see any of the franchise stars, including Tobin Bell, Shawnee Smith or Cary Elwes.
Saw: Legacy is written by Josh Stolberg and Pete Goldfiner, the duo behind Piranha 3D, Piranha 3DD, and Sorority Row. It is being directed by the Spierig brothers, Peter and Michael, who are responsible for Undead, Daybreakers and Predestination, while Dan Heffner and Oren Koules are allegedly producing.
IMDb has Saw: Legacy listed for release on October 27th, 2017, although that is not a confirmed date.

Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
