The upcoming sequel will be directed by Kevin Greutert, who also helmed both Saw VI and Saw: The Final Chapter and edited Saw I through V and Jigsaw.
While details on the plot and characters of next year’s film are currently being kept under wraps, the announcement promises will “capture their hearts — and other body parts — with all-new twisted, ingenious traps and a new mystery to solve.”
Saw franchise producers Mark Burg and Oren Koules commented on the announcement, saying:
“We have been listening to what the fans have been asking for and are hard at work planning a movie that Saw aficionados and horror fans alike will love. And part of that is giving the reins to Kevin Greutert, director of Saw VI, which is still one of the fans’ favorites in the entire series. More details will be revealed soon.”
