Before you play another deadly game this fall in the next Saw movie, Lionsgate is bringing Jigsaw to San Diego Comic-Con this summer, with directors Peter and Michael Spierig taking part in the Reinventing Horror panel and Jigsaw himself, Tobin Bell, signing autographs for fans.
You can check out the official Comic-Con Jigsaw details below, as well as the official teaser poster, which was initially unveiled by Arrow in the Head.
From the official Saw Facebook page: "Become #Jigsaw… In theaters October 27, 2017.
Friday, July 21 at San Diego Comic-Con International:
1-2pm PT: Tobin Bell autograph signing, Sails Pavilion
5-6pm PT: Peter and Michael Spierig (directors of Jigsaw) will participate in the Reinventing Horror panel (hosted by Ain't It Cool News) in Room 23ABC"
Scheduled for an October 27th, 2017 release, Jigsaw is directed by Michael and Peter Spierig (Predestination, Daybreakers, Undead) from a screenplay by Josh Stolberg and Pete Goldfinger (who previously worked on the screenplays for Piranha 3D and Sorority Row). The franchise's producers Mark Burg, Gregg Hoffman, and Oren Koules are all returning for Jigsaw.
A sequel of sorts that's unsurprisingly rated R, Jigsaw is set in the cinematic world created by James Wan and Leigh Whannell, which kicked off with the 2003 short film Saw, followed by a feature film version of the same name that made a big impact on the modern horror scene and was continued in six sequels.
The cast of Jigsaw includes Mandela Van Peebles, Laura Vandervoort, Hannah Anderson, and Brittany Allen, with Tobin Bell expected to reprise his role as John Kramer, aka Jigsaw.
Poster from official Saw Facebook page via Arrow in the Head:
Raised on a steady diet of R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps books and Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Derek has been fascinated with fear since he first saw ForeverWare being used on an episode of Eerie, Indiana.
When he’s not writing about horror as the Senior News Reporter for Daily Dead, Derek can be found daydreaming about the Santa Carla Boardwalk from The Lost Boys or reading Stephen King and Brian Keene novels.
