Obviously, ‘Spiral: From the Book of Saw’ Has Been Rated R for “Bloody Violence and Torture”
Darren Lynn Bousman‘s Spiral: From the Book of Saw looks to be a very different Saw movie. For starters, it’s releasing in May rather than October, and it stars two actors you probably would’ve never expected to see in the franchise: Chris Rock and Samuel L. Jackson. But if you were worried about Spiral toning down the violence, well, that won’t be the case at all.
Lionsgate’s Spiral has officially been rated “R” for:
“Sequences of grisly bloody violence and torture, pervasive language, some sexual references and brief drug use.”
A sadistic mastermind unleashes a twisted form of justice in Spiral.
Working in the shadow of an esteemed police veteran (Jackson), brash Detective Ezekiel “Zeke” Banks (Rock) and his rookie partner (Max Minghella) take charge of a grisly investigation into murders that are eerily reminiscent of the city’s gruesome past. Unwittingly entrapped in a deepening mystery, Zeke finds himself at the center of the killer’s morbid game.
Spiral was written by Josh Stolberg and Pete Goldfinger, from a story by Chris Rock.
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.
