‘Saw X’ Just Released Its Own Hilarious Parody of the Nicole Kidman AMC Ad; Watch It Here
“Somehow, self-amputation feels good in a place like this.” While you wait for Saw X in theaters on September 29, Lionsgate just released a hilarious new piece of marketing today.
The 60-second social media video parodies the now-iconic Nicole Kidman ad for AMC Theatres, which has been playing ahead of movies at AMC locations for two years now.
“We come to this place for a reawakening. We come to the theaters to scream,” Jigsaw himself narrates the video, which replaces Nicole Kidman with his trusty puppet known as Billy.
The puppet bikes his way into the theater, takes a seat, and basks in the glory of the Saw franchise’s bloody torture. “Traps… they make movies better,” the parody video proclaims.
We agree. We definitely agree. Watch the AMC parody ad below!
Lionsgate has been absolutely slaying the marketing for Saw X, revealing just last week that the Saw Blood Drive is even returning this Halloween season. Stay tuned for more on that.
Lionsgate teases, “The return of Tobin Bell to the franchise furthers Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures’ goal of a film that captures everything Saw fans love about the franchise, while also keeping them guessing with all-new traps and a new mystery to solve.”
“John Kramer (Tobin Bell) is back for the untold chapter of Jigsaw’s final games.”
“Set between the events of Saw I and II, a sick and desperate John travels to Mexico for a risky and experimental medical procedure in hopes of a miracle cure for his cancer – only to discover the entire operation is a scam to defraud the most vulnerable.
“The infamous killer returns to his work, turning the tables on the con artists in his signature visceral way through devious, deranged, and ingenious traps.”
Shawnee Smith is back as Amanda Young in Saw X.
The filmmakers behind Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey are expanding their public domain horror universe with a handful of upcoming “Poohniverse” movies, including Bambi: The Reckoning, Pinocchio: Unstrung, and Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare.
Variety has scored the first image from Neverland Nightmare, seen above.
The website details, “Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare follows Wendy Darling as she strikes out in an attempt to rescue her brother Michael from ‘the clutches of the evil Peter Pan.’ Along the way she meets Tinkerbell, who in this twisted version of the story will be seen taking heroine, convinced that it’s pixie dust.”
Scott Jeffrey will direct Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare, expected Halloween 2024.
Jeffrey tells us, “I am taking inspiration from French cinema while in prep for this movie. The film will be incredibly tense. I would say it’s a mesh between Switchblade Romance and The Black Phone with our own spin on it. It is a nasty, violent and incredibly dark movie.”
Megan Placito has joined the cast as Wendy Darling, Kit Green is Tinkerbell, Peter DeSouza-Feighoney (The Pope’s Exorcist) is Michael Darling and Charity Kase (RuPaul Drag Race) is James. Martin Portlock will be playing the twisted version of Peter Pan.
Created by J.M. Barrie way back in 1902, the character of Peter Pan – like Winnie the Pooh – is in the public domain, even if the iconic Disney iteration of the character is very much not.
