Filming is currently underway on the next Saw film, with Darren Lynn Bousman (Saw II-IV) back in the director’s chair.
In the new incarnation, Chris Rock will play a police detective investigating a series of grisly crimes and Samuel L. Jackson will portray Rock’s father, Bloody Disgusting first reported. Variety adds that Nazneen Contractor joins the cast as a coroner who works closely with Rock’s character.
Max Minghella (Horns, The Darkest Hour) plays William Schenk, Rock’s partner, and Marisol Nichols (Scream 2, “Riverdale”) plays Capt. Angie Garza, Rock’s boss.
The film will offer fans worldwide a new amped-up level of deviously treacherous traps, clever clues and the edge-of-the-seat suspense they expect from one of the world’s most terrifying horror franchises.
There’s still no word on if we’ll see Tobin Bell‘s Jigsaw in this new installment in theaters May 15, 2020.
