It’s been a whirlwind of torture for us SAW fans this week as Lionsgate not only shared the official red band trailer for Jigsaw, the eighth film in the franchise but also dropped a series of new images and posters that depict the title character’s disciples. Now, Lionsgate has unveiled a very special San Diego Comic-Con exclusive one-sheet that teases the mighty return of Tobin Bell as John Kramer, who will be signing copies TODAY from 1-2pm PT at the Sails Pavilion.
In the new film…
Bodies are turning up, and they’re linked to Jigsaw — or a Jigsaw copycat.
The new chapter in the long-running saga has been rated “R” for “Grisly Bloody Violence and Torture.”
We understand that neither Costas Mandylor nor Cary Elwes will be returning to play their respective characters, who both ended up becoming Jigsaw apprentices in earlier installments. As for the original Jigsaw himself, Tobin Bell will be back in some capacity.
The cast also includes Mandela Van Peebles, Laura Vandervoort, Brittany Allen, Callum Keith Rennie, Matt Passmore, Hannah Emily Anderson, Josiah Black, Shaquan Lewis, Michael Bolsvert, and James Gomez.
Jigsaw was written by Josh Stolberg and Pete Goldfinger (Piranha 3D and Sorority Row). In the director’s chairs were the Spierig brothers, Peter and Michael, who brought us Daybreakers and Predestination.
