Saw X producers Mark Burg and Oren Koules already have plans to bring Jigsaw back for an eleventh Saw movie.
Speaking with ComicBook.com, Koules confirmed they’ve already begun discussing where the Saw franchise could be headed after the upcoming tenth film.
“We’re kind of superstitious,” Koules said. “We tend not to get too far ahead of ourselves. The movie’s going to be released in a few days. For us, we do have ideas for the next one, we haven’t put pen to paper. But this is his story, we really wanted it to be John Kramer’s story and tell a John Kramer story. So for the first 30 minutes of the movie, he’s John Kramer, you don’t have any hint of Jigsaw.”
Fans don’t have to wait much longer for Saw X
James Wan and Leigh Whannell introduced the world to John Kramer (Tobin Bell), better known as the Jigsaw Killer, in 2004. A total of eight Saw sequels have since been released, including 2005’s Saw II, 2006’s Saw III, 2007’s Saw IV, 2008’s Saw V, 2009’s Saw VI, 2010’s Saw 3D, 2017’s Jigsaw, and 2021’s Spiral: From the Book of Saw.
The latest entry in the franchise, Saw X, is directed by Kevin Greutert with a screenplay by Josh Stolberg and Pete Goldfinger. A prequel set between the events of Saw and Saw II, the movie sees Bell return as John Kramer, while Shawnee Smith will reprise her role as Amanda Young. Synnøve Macody Lund, Steven Brand, and Michael Beach also star.
“John Kramer (Tobin Bell) is back,” the official synopsis reads. “The most disturbing installment of the SAW franchise yet explores the untold chapter of Jigsaw’s most personal game. Set between the events of SAW I and II, a sick and desperate John travels to Mexico for a risky and experimental medical procedure in hopes of a miracle cure for his cancer – only to discover the entire operation is a scam to defraud the most vulnerable. Armed with a newfound purpose, the infamous serial killer returns to his work, turning the tables on the con artists in his signature visceral way through devious, deranged, and ingenious traps.”
Saw X hits theaters on September 29, 2023, from Lionsgate.
