I'm sure most of you are aware but #SawX is halfway through the 2nd week of filming! Here's a 1st look at @officialtobin reprising THAT legendary role. The young boy is played by none other than Producer Mark Burg's son. The 2nd photo was taken last week. Who's excited for more? pic.twitter.com/7LnHwnpg4S

Throughout the series, Bell has played John Kramer, also known as The Jigsaw Killer or Jigsaw, and has appeared in some capacity in every single Saw film except Spiral. The character’s backstory saw Kramer find a new appreciation for life following a suicide attempt and saw him dedicating his life to “inspiring” others by trapping them in sadistic games that see them going to horrific extremes in order to survive.

The latest Saw film, Spiral, was written by Josh Stolberg and Pete Goldfinger and directed by Darren Lynn Bousman, who previously helmed Saw II, Saw III, and Saw IV. The film was generally considered to be a failure, with the project receiving mixed reviews and only making about $40 million at the box office.
