Spiral - Chris Rock's Saw Film
 
You read that right. Chris Rock pitched a new installment of the Saw franchise to Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures. Rock's idea is a reimagining of the original film and they are fast-tracking it as the writers of the last installment Jigsaw will write the script based on Rock's story. Rock is also serving as executive producer with original Saw creators James Wan and Leigh Whannell. Darren Lynn Bousman will be directing the new film, which has a release date of October 23, 2020.

I am still shocked but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t interested

Anybody have any thoughts on why this was greenlit? O wait. Cuz the last time Rock was relevant was when the original Saw movies came out. Yeah I said it. Come at me bro :lol:


Rock was great, but he's a legacy act. He himself has pretty much said it.

So, is he writing, producing, and starring in this new installment?


Chris Rock is a comedian, so it would be interesting to see what his vision for the SAW horror movies is. And it sure looks like he's trying hard to emulate Jordan Peele.

He is only producing and came up with the idea of the story, with the writers of the last Saw film (Jigsaw) writing the script. There is no casting yet. Hey if Jordan Peele and Danny McBride bring success with their horror takes, seeing Rock involved Saw picks my curiosity.

This would be totally fun

Rock is being joined by Max Minghella, Marisol Nichols, and as his dad, Samuel L. Jackson. Seriously.

I like when comedians get into horror..

Jordan Peele
Danny McBride
Robin Williams (RIP)

But even for me, this looks weird.

I uh.... I already ...saw...it.

Trailer did nothing for me. Hopes still high, but expectations are still kinda lousy.

Re: Chris Rock's Saw Film
 
For me, the only Saw movies that exist are the first one and the one with the guy that wrote a book about it. You can't stop that kind of hilarious stupidity.
