Bousman Talks Saw III Details

Fangoria spoke with Director Darren Lynn Bousman about his plans for the third "Saw" film and "Leigh [Whannell], James [Wan] and myself all started meeting weekly and talking about stories, and we've come up with one we really like. Originally, we took it to Mark [Burg] and Oren [Koules] of Twisted Pictures and started to look for other directors and, at one point, other writers. But the more we talked, the more we realized that this was a no-brainer. We had to end the SAW trilogy. Not the SAW franchise, but this trilogy between the three of us. We had to see this thing through".

At present, "Leigh is off writing the first draft right now and doing his own thing. As things progress and as we near shooting, I might do a polish. This one is for the fans. It's a complete fan-based movie; there are no studio execs telling us what they want to see here. This is for the SAW buffs in every aspect, and it's going to have a lot of stuff they won't expect to see. And believe me, they ain't seen anything yet. The opening deaths in this film are going to put SAW II to shame"

Bousman confirmed "we're even heading to the same stages and production offices we used in Toronto", and will get to work on his pictures for the WeinsteinCo once "Saw 3" wraps.
