UPDATED: Shawnee Smith Returns in ‘Saw VI’
UPDATE: We’ve found out some brand new info, which you can read all about inside! A piece of news we’ve been sitting on for quite some time now is that Shawnee Smith is set to return as Amanda in Lionsgate’s Saw VI. While we were trying to get more info, Twisted Pictures producer Mark Burg told Official Saw the following. “Shawnee Smith [as Amanda] is in Saw VI. There are several new characters. Also, this movie is a lot more violent than the previous five. Lastly, we have traps that pit victims against each other like the opening of Saw V. Could be the best script yet!” What we learned on our lonesome is that Shawnee will be returning in a flashback, possibly in old footage. We have not confirmed that she will actually set foot in Toronto for filming later this month. Saw VI hits theaters October 23.Bloody-Disgusting learned exclusively this evening that Shawnee Smith will in fact be filming brand new scenes for Lionsgate’s Saw VI. All of her scenes will be flashback sequences (because she’s dead), while the biggest news is that she will play a major role in the outcome of the film.
Shawnee sets foot in Toronto March 30th, the first day of shooting.
This is pretty big news considering she was one of the main factors in my distaste for Saw V. Shawnee is to Jigsaw as Robin to Batman — only there are no “holy rusted metal” lines in the works… or are there? Jigsaw does work in mysterious ways.
The next V/H/S installment is on the way, this time from producer Roy Lee (Weapons, IT), and it’s landed on its new theme.
Spooky Pictures and Image Nation are teaming to produce V/H/S: SCP, Variety reports, and it’ll be the first feature-length addition to the online collective fiction project, the SCP (Special Containment Procedures) Foundation.
The SCP Foundation began in 2008 as a collaborative digital project and has since grown into one of the largest fan-driven horror and sci-fi universes online. You can get acquainted with the SCP Foundation via Bloody FM’s SCP Archives podcast.
V/H/S: SCP will be framed as “’recovered field documentation,’ or video evidence gathered, redacted, and archived by the secretive organization. Standalone segments in the anthology will focus on different objects, entities, or events under the containment-breach narrative.”
Spooky Pictures is headed by genre veterans Steven Schneider (Insidious, Paranormal Activity) and Roy Lee (Weapons, IT). They’ll be joined by Josh Goldbloom (V/H/S/94, V/H/S/99, V/H/S/Halloween) and Michael Schreiber (V/H/S/94, V/H/S/Beyond) as producers.
“The horror genre continues to be a remarkable launchpad for new talent to share original creations, and the vast SCP universe has provided a vital incubator for this creativity to thrive,” Spooky Pictures co-founder Steven Schneider said. “Along with INS, this next project reinforces our shared commitment to look in new and unexpected spaces for stories. We can’t wait to expand the V/H/S franchise with new, fresh, and terrifying stories that will keep viewers coming back for more.”
V/H/S launched in 2012, followed by 2013’s V/H/S/2, 2014’s V/H/S: Viral, 2021’s V/H/S/94, 2022’s V/H/S/99, 2023’s V/H/S/85, 2024’s V/H/S/Beyond, and 2025’s V/H/S/Halloween.
The upcoming installment marks the ninth film in this franchise.
The SCP Foundation is a worldwide force dedicated to securing, containing, and protecting anomalies from people – At least according to the lore of the website.
