One Take News brings word that Tobin Bell could be reprising his role as John Kramer/Jigsaw in an upcoming Saw film, reportedly intended to be “a John Kramer story.” According to the outlet, the movie would be told from Kramer’s point of view and could take place before Saw III. The script for the potential tenth feature in the franchise, written by Josh Stolberg and Pete Goldfinger, is in the early stages. It has not yet been confirmed if talks have officially begun with Bell to make his possible return to the franchise.
