Kevin Greutert Talks to BD from the Set of ‘Saw VII 3D’
Now that the storm has passed (for now), we caught up with Kevin Greutert from the set of Saw VII 3D, which is currently lensing in Toronto, Canada for an October 22 release via Lionsgate. While the director of Saw VI is still unhappy about being pulled off of Paranormal Activity 2, he’s looking at the bright side of things while working through a head cold.
“I’ve finished my first week of filming, and while my attitude toward the situation remains unchanged, film directing is still the greatest job in the world, and I have an excellent cast and crew working through this with me,” Greutert tels Bloody Disgusting from set in Toronto, Canada.
“At this point I view it as getting paid to go through a $17 million dollar one-man 3D film school program, so how’s that for looking at the bright side of a dark situation? Still scratching my head over how all this happened, but the die is cast, and I’m rolling with it,” he continues. “I’ve had a severe cold since Tuesday, and lost my voice entirely for a few days, but I’m not a much of a screamer anyway, so it was more amusing than anything else. As usual with SAW movies, we start with the simpler scenes first and then progress to the really crazy stuff, so given the state of the production at the moment, we’re moving into some very interesting times.”
If there’s one positive thing to come from all of this it’s that Kevin did a bang up job on Saw VI, maybe he can keep the franchise afloat?
Daniel Roebuck has been cast as Santa Claus in Terrifier 3, Bloody Disgusting can exclusively report.
Writer-director Damien Leone is currently wrapping production on the highly-anticipated sequel, in which Art the Clown unleashes chaos on the unsuspecting residents of Miles County as they peacefully drift off to sleep on Christmas Eve.
“I’ve been holding this secret for a long time!” Roebuck tells Bloody Disgusting. “I’ve been really excited about it. I’m actually entering into the movies that I watch. It’s extraordinary. This is Terrifier bigger, badder, best.”
Roebuck appears in Terrifier 3 alongside returning cast members David Howard Thornton, Lauren LaVera, Samantha Scaffidi, Elliot Fullam, and AEW superstar Chris Jericho.
No stranger to iconic horror properties, Roebuck has squared off against Michael Myers in Rob Zombie’s Halloween II, played The Count in Zombie’s The Munsters, succumbed to The Tall Man’s sphere in Phantasm: Ravager, and investigated death in Final Destination.
A distinguished character actor with over 250 credits, Roebuck has also appeared in The Devil’s Rejects, 3 from Hell, Bubba Ho-Tep, John Dies at the End, The Fugitive, Lost, Agent Cody Banks, and The Man in the High Castle. Incidentally, he’s also playing Santa in the family drama Saint Nick of Bethlehem, due out later this year.
Terrifier 3 will be released in theaters nationwide later this year via Cineverse and Bloody Disgusting in conjunction with our partner on Terrifier 2, Iconic Events Releasing.
