Speaking with Moviehole today, Aussie entertainment news presenter turned "Saw" actor and writer Leigh Whannell talked about his horror movie's DVD and and sequel plans:
In regards to the DVD: "We've done some stuff for it. I would've preferred to have done the commentary after the film got released though. It's hard to talk about the film until you know how it's going to do. How self-deprecating you should be or how much fun you should have. On the commentary it's just James and I, but we want to do some more - get some of the actors involved".
As for the sequel - "[The] Producers are definitely talking about it yeah. We don't know exactly know what our full involvement is yet. We'd say we'll be executive producers or overseeing it. It's only in the early stages so I may have a hand in the writing. The film just opened, so it feels kinda early to be talking about a sequel. From the moment the film opened at 18.3, the sequel gets greenlit the next day. We haven't had time to think about it. But the producers have had time; they find time to talk about the sequel".
In the meantime he's developing a horror script over at Universal - "I really wanna find that right next thing, it's really hard. We've got a good one out of the gates first. If you make a first film that's not so good you can only move up. I think we've made a film that's pretty good so we've put a lot of pressure on ourselves to do something that lives up to Saw."
