Saw 7

Well, it's official, even before the new Saw movie comes out, Variety has told the world that Saw 7 has been given the green light. According to reports, the new movie is to begin production in January of 2010 and they are going to be filming the new project in 3-D. Yes, the Saw series is going to the next level of kitsch; they are showing you a 3-D horror film.

For those not in the know, 3-D films actually have a long and storied past, though they have always been in the realm of kitsch. As early as the 1950s, several movies were made in the 3-D style and they were intended to make it look as if the action was jumping out at you. They used specially colored glasses which would help your eyes see the pictures as 3-D instead of being the blurry mishmash you'd see without them.

The trouble was, the experience was never as exciting as it seemed it should be and 3-D movies have been out of style for a while. Saw 7 however is part of a new breed of 3-D movies that is filmed using HD video cameras instead of the more traditional film cameras (for the first time in history, digital film is good enough to make it happen).

Not much is known about this latest installment of the Saw series other than that David Hackl (who was involved in the production of the second, third and fourth films before taking the reigns to direct the fifth movie) is back to direct this newest film. This is likely because of the extra time demands that are involved in making a 3-D film and the director of Saw 6, Kevin Greutert is still involved with the final details of that film. Having been dropped from the series after the 5th installment though, it will be interesting to see how David Hackl will adapt and bring his style back in while still providing some kind of contiguity to the previous movie.

In addition, we know that veteran script writers Marcus Dunston and Patrick Bell are coming back as well. And Jigsaw himself, Tobin Bell, has promised he's going to back at least through Saw 8. Dunston and Bell have promised to make copious use of the 3-D technology to make some truly amazing traps for the latest contestants in Jigsaw's puzzle of life. Saw 7 should be out in time for Halloween 2010.
