Chris Rock Teases This Year’s “Gory” New ‘Saw’ Movie and Promises Only a “Sprinkling of Humor”

Published

Easily the most interesting horror movie headed our way in 2020 is the return of the Saw franchise with a new film that’s from the mind of Chris Rock. Directed by series mainstay Darren Lynn Bousman, the new movie will also star Rock as a police detective investigating a series of grisly crimes, with Samuel L. Jackson playing the father of Rock’s character!

On paper at least, this year’s ninth installment in the franchise sounds like a very, very different Saw movie in almost every way, though Rock promises that it’s very much “still Saw.”

And if you’re worried about it being overly comedic, have no fear.

I love Saw, but I was like ‘wow, it has almost no humor at all.’ So, it seemed like a good place…good fertile ground…by the way, the new Saw, I’ve seen like a rough cut. It’s still Saw…it’s bloody, it’s gory, but there’s like a sprinkling of humor here and there,” Rock just told IGN over the weekend. “We’re not revamping it; it’s not Scary Movie, it’s Saw.”

Expect more info real soon, including the impending reveal of the film’s official title. For now, Bousman has seemingly confirmed that the iconic theme “Hello Zepp” will be featured!

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.

The franchise returns to the big screen on May 15, 2020.

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.
