We’ve all been waiting for something solid pertaining to what Lionsgate is planning to do with the Saw franchise… will we get another sequel? A remake/reimagining/reboot/prequel? Hell, how about a TV series? They seem to be all the rage today, no? It’s been eerily quiet for a couple of years, but now some news has come. Get ready for Saw: Legacy.
According to The Tracking Board, Lionsgate has tapped writing duo Josh Stolberg and Pete Goldfinger to pen Saw: Legacy, which will serve as the eighth installment of the venerable horror franchise. Although story details are being kept tightly under wraps, original Saw director James Wan and screenwriter Leigh Whannell will serve as executive producers on the project.
Goldfinger and Stolberg are no strangers to the horror genre. The pair worked together on Sorority Row, Piranha 3D, and Piranha 3DD. Whether Saw: Legacy will be a reboot, a continuation, or an origin story has not been announced; but given Goldfinger and Stolberg’s ability to craft creative kills while maintaining an undercurrent of devilish humor, the film could prove to have the right combination of self-awareness and shocking gore needed to jolt the franchise back to life.
