=D if SAW 3 does well we get a SAW 4!

yay!

[MuffinMcFluffin]

No, that's TERRIBLE!



That means that Saw III isn't a legitimate conclusion. Meaning that there's going to be some opening for a potential fourth movie.

So that means that... even if this is the end, not all doors will be closed. NO!!! :mad:

[sawtrap]

I might like to see a Saw 4. It might be good. Maybe this one will end up being the closing film. I don't care. Do what you want. If you make a Saw 4, I'll see it.

[IWantToPlayAGame]

NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Saw 3 would have been the perfect ending to a perfect trilogy!!!!!!!!! I wanted a FANTSTIC trilogy just like matrix or godfather!!!!! There has hardly been ANY good horror trilogy PLEASE do not do saw 4 DO NOT turn this into a FRANCHISE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I BEG YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Stiffy]

I want a saw4 plainly because I dont want saw to end.

I dont want to run out of things to talk about on here etc, and I love saw to death.. BRING THEM ON,saw 345203764 pleasse!

Or only not. :)

I hope leigh && James are involved though. Deffo.

[Leer]

Whats with everyone? If they make a fourth one you know your going to want to see it, and also, If its still good then they will have all the right to, If the fourth one is BAD (which I dont see it being) then everything will be alright

[Tehdude]

no. I don't want a Saw 3 either. Maybe if it cuts ahead a few years to an older, wiser amanda behind the traps, but not an imediate followup(timeline wise), like the others, they could pull it off. But I'd still like just a trilogy.

[Stiffy]

Wow. Im like the only one who wants to see a saw4. lol.

[Scissor-Hands]

Wow. Im like the only one who wants to see a saw4. lol.

I'm with you man.

[Tehdude]

to tell the truth, i'm just afraid they'll get a new director(didn't they say Darren/leigh weren't working on any more Saw films?) that'll just shit all over the Saw series(to put it crudely). Even with the current directors, too much of good thing can be bad.

And just think about it..we'll have to deal with "S4w".

[DOJ]

I wouldn't mind seeing more Saw movies if the stories were good but if S3 wraps up everything and brings it all full circle why not end it there.

[MuffinMcFluffin]

Whats with everyone? If they make a fourth one you know your going to want to see it, and also, If its still good then they will have all the right to, If the fourth one is BAD (which I dont see it being) then everything will be alright
Nobody said they wouldn't see it. But, this franchise has set up so well from the first movie, that it would be a shame for it to just continue with no end. Jigsaw is old; he can't become immortal. Something has to end some way, and it's gotta be quick.


Just like with The Matrix. Either you end it with the first one, or you end it in a trilogy. It can't be past or between those choices. Saw worked the exact same way, where it could stand alone as its own movie. I was actually very steamed to see that they were making a sequel to it, because I thought they were going to mess it up. They didn't, but it has now set up perfectly for a trilogy, and no more than that (unless they decide to open more doors).

Like somebody said earlier... there aren't too many good trilogies around anymore. I'd like to see this end now, and end grand.

[sawtrap]

I want a saw4 plainly because I dont want saw to end.

I dont want to run out of things to talk about on here etc, and I love saw to death.. BRING THEM ON,saw 345203764 pleasse!

I agree. They should show more games and what not. I don't want it to end quite yet.

[MuffinMcFluffin]

I agree. They should show more games and what not. I don't want it to end quite yet.
I honestly wouldn't mind Saw III being a nice long story, very well-thought out and strung through well... better than Saw, and much better than Saw II. I hope that it's not just a gorefest movie. I seriously wouldn't mind a nice 2 hr 15 min conclusion if that's what it takes.

I really want Saw III to be remembered. And THAT'S the big key right there. I could tell you what Halloween 4 was about... or Halloween 19... or whatever. I could tell you about the first one, and give you a couple of characters in the second one. But, they're all the same movie. Saw and Saw II were different from each other, with the same villain. Saw III should definitely expand on this, and close with a big bang (no loose ends).

[Bad Boy]

If you want some MAJOR ASS spoilers on "Saw 3" AND "Saw 4" highlight this (Yes it's true, from Bloody-Disgusting).............

(Slice reports live from the event that Lionsgate will instantly begin prepping 'Saw 4' if the third film in the franchise is a sucess, which I'm sure it will be. We were also informed that if a fourth film happens, Tobin Bell will return as Jigsaw. So this means Jigsaw SURVIVES "Saw 3"!!!!!!!!)

[Scissor-Hands]

You could of said spoilers for 3, great now it's ruined.

[Jordana Divinorum]

I think every horror movie I've seen ends open endedly. It's not like the good guys are gonna win and everyone's going to be happy at the end. If they do make another movie, I hope they keep lots of philosophy in it. I love the part in Saw 2 where Jigsaw talks to Detective Matthews about how your world changes when someone tells you the exact time of your death. Everything in that movie is based around Jigsaw's principles and philosophy and the twist always screws over the guy that takes his life for granted and can't play by the rules. I'd definately go see it. The writing has been awesome so far, let's hope it stays that way.

[Scissor-Hands]

*applauds* Well said my friend^

[Nightmare13]

Alright, I gotta speak up... James Wan, Leigh Whannell, and Darren Bousman are the three masterminds behind the 'SAW' franchise. Writing, directing, and producing... They've done it all. Hell, Leigh was a main character in the first movie and Darren had a couple unrecognizable cameos in the second movie! Bottom line? 'SAW' without that trio sucks. That's it, plain and simple. Considering that the triad is moving on with their lives after 'SAW III', anyone... And I stress ANYONE... Who takes over afterwards will fuck it up royally. I don't care who it is. It won't be the same. Now will I go see 'S4W'? Will I go see '5AW'? Yes, to both. Just because of what it is. I may like it, I may not, but hey... We'll see.

Honestly, I was hoping that 'SAW III' would tie in all loose ends, answer all questions, and give us huge twists and turns to keep us surprised during the movie, leading up to a bad-ass ending that satifies us all. And for real, guys and girls? John Kramer is elderly... He has cancer... And "New Kid on the Block" kicked his candy ass. If he doesn't die in 'SAW III'? That fucker is a cockroach on steroids. Now I don't think that Ms. Young will make a great Jigsaw, but she'll be ok. Amanda is twisted enough to be Jigsaw, definately... But she'll never be like Johnny-K. My point is... After #3? This series should end. As a triolgy. And may it R.I.P. in the best of memory. Because this forum? Will keep it alive and remembered the way it should be... As the greatest horror triolgy of all time!!!

[Tehdude]

Exactly! Thank you, that was perfect. Like i've said, they should just leave it at 3.

[Bad Boy]

Guys I'm sorry but you really need to quit bitching and complaining about "Saw 4"! For the love of Jesus Christ, "Saw 3" is still 3 months away from release and you're already worried about "Saw 4"? My God.

Darren Lynn Bousman already said there were going to be some major twists in "Saw 3", so with that alone, you COULD'VE already expected a "Saw 4". As for Darren, James, and Leigh not returning, according to FirstShowing.net.........

"At a press conference in San Diego at Comic-Con 2006, director Darren Lynn Bousman confirmed that if Saw III does well, they would “all be happy” to return for Saw IV."

So maybe they WILL all return. And who WOULDN'T want "Saw 4"? As much as all the shitty PG-13 remakes Hollywood has been cranking out, I'm surprised you're not THANFUL for more! As long as their good, bring them on!

I'm deeply sorry if I offended everyone but I thought I'd get my 2 cents in.

[Tehdude]

"Beating a dead horse" comes to mind here.

[Bad Boy]

:rolleyes:

Do you really think Darren, James, and Leigh would disappoint us?

[Tehdude]

not willingly, but to a movie that relies on plot as much as Saw, the barrel o' ideas would run out eventually.

[Bad Boy]

Maybe "Saw 4" will be the last one!

[Tehdude]

Maybe. But then we'd have to call it a "quadrilogy", and see people call it "S4w".
If they still had that trio, a "S4w" wouldn't be that bad, but the third movie tieing up all loose ends sounds more appealing.

[MuffinMcFluffin]

:rolleyes:

Do you really think Darren, James, and Leigh would disappoint us?
I don't care if "S4W" or "5AW" were both better than the other three that preceded them. If they decide to make them, then they'd disappoint me. If they conclude it as a trilogy, then they wouldn't disappoint me.

It's that simple.



People complain that not there isn't that much material anymore. That's because we continue with sequels that have some terrific sequences, remarkable quotes, and brilliant plots and ideas that could be reworked into a movie with another title. For instance, "S4W" can be rewritten with another set of characters, and another few revisions to give LGF another possible movie to work with.

I mean... look at what M. Night Shyamalan does. He goes from The Sixth Sense to Unbreakable to Signs to The Village. Now he's going to Lady in the Water. You see the film style and the direction is very similar in every movie. The dialogue and characters are very much the same, also. The stories all have the similar "slow-burn" effect in them. But, look at all of the plots. All rather different stories... yet they all do tie in together some way. They aren't sequels, but they work like them with different titles. Directors and producers are allowed to do that.



So, go ahead... write "S4W", and then mail it to me so that I can write up a script of a different movie with a similar premise. But DON'T continue with what should be a trilogy.

[Nightmare13]

Maybe 'SAW 4' will be the last one!

Don't forget 'www.saw4.com' or 'www.saw5.com'. Those web addresses have been copyrighted and bought by Lion's Gate. Cuz if 'S4W' happens, you can bet your ass on '5AW'.

[Nightmare13]

As for Darren, James, and Leigh not returning, according to FirstShowing.net.........

"At a press conference in San Diego at Comic-Con 2006, director Darren Lynn Bousman confirmed that if Saw III does well, they would "all be happy" to return for Saw IV."

So maybe they WILL all return. And who WOULDN'T want "Saw 4"? As much as all the shitty PG-13 remakes Hollywood has been cranking out, I'm surprised you're not THANKFUL for more! As long as their good, bring them on!

I'm deeply sorry if I offended everyone but I thought I'd get my 2 cents in.

Well, shit... If they do return? Then 'S4W' and '5AW' will totally rock. We can only expect the best from them, right? I just hope that it doesn't get watered down and start to suck. Because the majority of the fanbase would turn their backs. And don't deny it, anybody, some of you (most of you, even) know that you'd pan 'S4W' and/or '5AW' if they sucked! :p
Bad Boy, no offense taken by anybody (I hope), it's your opinion, dude.

[MyVermilionPlague]

Sigh.

I'm so iffy on this.

Yes, I love, love, LOVE the series so far, but sometimes less is much more.

[Nightmare13]

Sigh.

I'm so iffy on this.

Yes, I love, love, LOVE the series so far, but sometimes less is much more.

MVP, I totally agree with you. I think the general opinion is that the 'SAW' franchise should become a trilogy with the release of 'SAW III'. Not some series extending into the fourth or fifth movie. But, alas, 'SAW III' is finished. You can't go back and re-shoot the thing if the end is left open for another sequel. I just hope that James, Darren, and Leigh (who frequent these boards) read our thoughts and our opinions and weighed them fairly. It is a movie for the fans, right? Maybe they listened to us?

Then again... 'SAW' brought Twisted Pictures into the spotlight and raked in tons of cash for Lion's Gate. So, even if the "Devine Trinity" (lol) isn't involved, they could just bust out a 4 and maybe a 5, all to squeeze the namesake value out of it. Which I pray to God doesn't happen...

[JiGsAwChIcK13]

NOOOO!!! I really really really hope to God they don't make a Saw IV! That would just ruin the whole seires, it would just ruin it. All good movies come in packs of threes! (except for Lord of the Rings because I just couldn't get into those types of movies) Like the Pirates series, the Final Destination series, the Rush Hour series (I think the third one's coming out soon), the Spider Man series, the X-Men series. Don't make a fourt pleeeeaaase!!

[True Enemy]

Everyone said this with Saw 2. Then Saw 3. Now look, as they are releasing information, everyone is going ape shit with Saw 3... so dont judge the book by its cover.

[MuffinMcFluffin]

Again... I'm sure that I would LOVE Saw IV if they were to make it. Maybe I'd like it more than any of the other ones. But, I'd be disappointed in the sense that it didn't just conclude. Trilogies are special, in that it's still sort of a short story being told. Also, they can't just continue with different "Jigsaws" as they go.

Look at the Matrix. It hardly held any water after the first one. A lot of people highly anticipated a second and third one, and they were pretty low CGI-fests. Granted, I loved them, own them, and watch them to this day... but a lot of other people didn't. When Neo died in the final installment (hope I didn't spoil anything), everybody knew that if there was a fourth one to be made, it would BLOW! If it was a good movie, it still would BLOW!

Look at the Scream trilogy. There are STILL talks of a fourth one being made. If they make it, I'll still go see it. I still may like it... but it RUINS the trilogy. It KILLS the trilogy. The trilogy was set so that all of the rifts were sealed, and that any openings, though could potentially come through, would lead to disaster in terms of what people hoped for.




Saw can easily end in a third and final installment, and I sure hope that they do. Like I said... if they want more money, and if they still have grand ideas, they can create a new franchise with LGF... make sequels off of that. Saw, to me, can either be a standalone first film, or a trilogy. It can ALMOST be a standalone second film, but I must admit that I would not have enjoyed it as much without the first one (I guess because the bathroom scene wouldn't really make sense).

[Dr._Gordons_Severed_Foot]

You put Eli Roth in the directors chair and I'll be even happier!

[MyVermilionPlague]

You put Eli Roth in the directors chair and I'll be even happier!
That would be a turn for the worst.

[Bad Boy]

Some of you people, no offense whatsoever, are ignorant. Nobody said anything about the "Saw" movies being a 'trilogy', therefore, why would a fourth movie suck? Has it been confirmed that the "Saw" movies are a trilogy? No! It's just what YOU say. So quit bitching, people! God, "Saw 3" hasn't even been released! Like True Enemy said, you people complained about "Saw 2" and look how hyped up you are on "Saw 3"! In the words of one of my favorite people on this board, DON'T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER! When you see it, THEN you can complain!

Well, I don't think anyone's been saying that a trilogy is official news or anything. I think people are saying they just WANT it to be a trilogy.

I do agree with your post, though.

[-.Strid]

I don't want Jigsaw to die EVER! And if you all seen, there is sites purchased for a Saw 4 and Saw 5.

[MyVermilionPlague]

I don't want Jigsaw to die EVER!
EVER?
It'd be pretty lame if he was immortal or something.

[JiGsAwChIcK13]

I don't want Jigsaw to die EVER! And if you all seen, there is sites purchased for a Saw 4 and Saw 5.

ME EITHER HE BETTER NOT DIE IN THIS ONE OR I WILL SERIOUSLY CRY!!

[MuffinMcFluffin]

Once again, Saw IV would probably be a great movie. Never said it would be bad. But, there's something about trilogies that are great. There's a beginning, a middle, and an end.

I made a reference to Halloween and its what... 87 movies? Except for maybe the first one, they're all forgetful. They become repetitive and nearly nonsensical. Not only that... I don't care WHAT they try to do, but Michael Myers is immortal. Jigsaw is mortal, and he would need to die eventually.

There's something about that "human element" in this movie that most horror movies don't have, and the fortune of there being realism implemented in this franchise. Jigsaw has been a perfect 2-for-2 in long-term games (not that he necessarily WANTS his victims to lose, though). Eventually, with this series' style, there must be human error, and I see it coming in this movie. I don't see John continuing, and if Amanda continues... well... it's like having another "One" replacing Neo in the Matrix trilogy... if they expanded onto it and made a fourth movie.




ONCE AGAIN, I WOULD SEE SAW IV IF IT CAME OUT, AND I WOULD PROBABLY LIKE IT! But don't you see? If they purposely intended to conclude it as a trilogy, they would set things up in the movie differently... including the ending. Because of them leaving this ending with an open hole in it somewhere, there is now ROOM for a fourth movie, even though they may not make one. So, the problem here is that now if it IS a trilogy, it won't fully be concluded like many have hoped. And, if they continue past 3 movies in the franchise... now they have the ability to make as many as they desire, even if it's 87 movies.


To me, the movie count for a franchise is either 1, 3, or infinity. Either make one and stick with it, make 3 and end with a bang (with 2 being a "continuity" sequel), or make as many as possible with many openings for room to make another as long as you have the budget.







I don't think anybody's really reading my posts. I feel that I'm being ignored, and I'm repeating myself like a broken record. If you have read what I said, then you wouldn't have said what you said. I never said that a fourth movie would suck. If you don't get what I did say, then you're going to have to try and re-read all of my posts again to get the picture. I'm not being ignorant; I'm being altruistic.

[MyVermilionPlague]

MuffinMcFluffin - I completely agree with you.

[MuffinMcFluffin]

MuffinMcFluffin - I completely agree with you.
Thank you! Somebody read.

[mysterious mongoose]

I want to see it end at Saw 3, they wont be able to manage after that. And as i once read somewhere "its better to leave the audience wanting more, than to have them get bored with the franchise"

[daysofourlives]

YIPEE!! I'd love a Saw 4!!! Then i think it shhould ebd there, otherwise it'll turn into Halloween with like, what? 7 movies or something. As long as Leigh, JAMES AND dARREN ARE INVOLVED IN THE CREATION OF IT, ID BE HAPPY TO SEE A NUMBER FOUR. i REALLY HOPE HOPE sAW 3 DOES WELL SO WE GET NUMBER 4!!!! :)

[colonelboeller]

It's far too early to judge it from here.

Let's wait and see how Saw III turns out to be. Perhaps, after Part III, all the world will be longing for a sequel. :-)

[gadgetfusion]

But maybe it's a good thing he's returning. It's not Saw without Jigsaw, and John's definitely the better and favorite Jigsaw out of him and Amanda, so if Saw IV if made, then maybe it's better that Amanda won't ruin it by going solo Jigsaw, John will make it better.

[Zandorv1037]

I think they should end it with a third, and if they make a fourth, I probably wont even count it as part of the series. It'll be a published fanfic, lol. I'll still go see it, though. Probably wont buy it.
It'll never be the same without Darren, Leigh and James. That's just how it is. They said the third one was their last.

Maybe they'll use Tobin in the flashbacks???

[gadgetfusion]

Or maybe they won't make Saw IV. Even if Saw III is a success, they don't have to make a Saw IV. I'll still see Saw IV and buy it when it comes out on DVD, but it'll be better to end with Saw III.

[MuffinMcFluffin]

YIPEE!! I'd love a Saw 4!!! Then i think it shhould ebd there, otherwise it'll turn into Halloween with like, what? 7 movies or something. As long as Leigh, JAMES AND dARREN ARE INVOLVED IN THE CREATION OF IT, ID BE HAPPY TO SEE A NUMBER FOUR. i REALLY HOPE HOPE sAW 3 DOES WELL SO WE GET NUMBER 4!!!! :)
You see... you want it to end in four movies. Exactly what IS a conclusion in the fourth movie of a series? After three, you might as well go on until they stop seeing the movies.


Three, like I said earlier... is special, and key to end at. The three movies represent Birth, Life, and Death. There's an introduction, a continuance, and a conclusion. Most trilogies are also well known to have standalone first films, tie-in second films (where they're normally the worst of the bunch, but are just better in some ways because of how they tie-into the first film), and big bang sealing-the-rift third films. Unfortunately, the third film normally becomes "Hollywood", where they appeal to the crowd by use of comedy, cameos, and CGI (the three C's of failure in a horror movie). Sometimes they do well, though. Anyway, it really correlates well with how the trilogy began, even if the same characters aren't involved. As long as one of the many characters still exist (in this case, Jigsaw), then everything still seems relevant.






Again, my problem with continuing after three movies is:

1) Jigsaw is old, cancerous, and mortal. If he continues to play games after three movies, and evades whomever is tracking him down successfully every time, there will be that repetitive "unrealistic" vibe that this movie franchise, so far, has yet to have... and is something that I like about this horror movie compared to others (the fact that there's an element of realism in it).

2) After three movies, like I said earlier, you might as well just keep going with the franchise. Go onto S4W, 5AW, and keep making funny tricks with the title... and go "Hollywood" with it until you either make $500 million or you lose your entire fanbase. Look at these people combining Freedy Kreuger and Jason Vorhees now. It's crap!

3) Less is more, and believe it. The less that is opened up to us, the less that we have to learn about this movie. Like I said... the first movie could have been a standalone film, no sequels. Once a second one is said to be made, you HAVE to make a third one (and perhaps end it there as a trilogy) to satisfy your fanbase. The first one answered all of the questions I needed to be answered (except for Dr. Gordon's existence). But then they made a second one... and now have some more doors open for discussion. Hopefully, they conclude in this movie, and they don't drag forever. Again, like I said... if they have some more good ideas that LGF can produce for them, go on to another movie franchise, and start from scratch. Don't continue with Saw.





Saw is a very special movie. I've never felt the same with a movie series before as I have with this one. I really would appreciate Darren, Leigh, and James concluding the franchise at three movies. If they don't, I'll be disappointed. Will I stop watching the movies? Hell no! I'll probably keep watching them and keep loving them and keep buying them until they stop making them. But will it feel awkward for them to [not only continue after three movies, but] conclude at 4, 5, 6, or 7? Why conclude after three? Now the story is open to whatever you want, and there's no way to revert back to the Birth (the first one)... or any of the other 5 movies without people being very fucking confused.


Hopefully Saw III ends in a big bang, and they conclude it. If people STILL don't understand why a trilogy is just so much better to have, keep asking questions. But don't say things that are completely ignoring my post. I have substance in them (within the fine 600 lines of text :)).

[gadgetfusion]

But what happens if Saw ends at number 4, instead of continuing on? Sure it wouldn't be as good of an ending as ending it as a trilogy, but still. I'm not for Saw IV, but I think we should wait for further news on this before we whine and complain.

[MasterChief3624]

I am OCD, and part of that means that i only like movie series to end in 3, 5, or 7

They BETTER make a fifth one if they make a fourth, as well.

I would absolutely LOVE to see it end at three. Don't like the thought of the fourth

[sawtrap]

For me, it would be good if they made a fourth and fifth because I don't want to stop seeing the game Jigsaw plays with others.

[Jordana Divinorum]

If they do make a Saw IV, I think it would work best if Jigsaw dies in the third movie (if he is really dying, which he probably is since Lynn has to keep him alive). I think it would kind of be beat to see a fourth movie with Amanda on her own, but like in Saw 1, involving other people in on the game. Saw 1 had Detective Tap paying Adam to take pictures of Doctor Gordon, and Zep set up as the fake villain. I think it would work if she made people suspect eachother of being the one behind it. Kinda like how Obi was forced to help kidnap the others in Saw 2.

[jerrysliljess]

to tell the truth, i'm just afraid they'll get a new director(didn't they say Darren/leigh weren't working on any more Saw films?) that'll just shit all over the Saw series(to put it crudely). Even with the current directors, too much of good thing can be bad.

And just think about it..we'll have to deal with "S4w".

I hope that Saw III will be as good as Saw II, but I think Saw 4 is going to be stretching it. If Darren, James or Leigh aren't going to be influencing it in some way (directing, writing, producing, etc) I won't watch it unless it looks really interesting. If Jigsaw does die in this one, I won't see the 4th cause I don't like it how Amanda works in it....or the movie could all fool us to think Amanda is the "apprentice" when she was a fake villian just like Zep.

[Varys]

I might like a Saw4 if Jigsaw (John Kramer) recovers from cancer or was faking the whole time.

I know the chances are against him but I'm still hoping.

*Figures Crossed* "Come on john you can do it"

[krazyshyt1126]

Im begging that they DONT make SAW 4.... i probably wouldnt even see it thats how against it i am.... please just make the fucking trilogy that most fans want....

[BeatrixKiddo]

To me, thats great news. If the third one can be a success why not go with a fourth? :)

[JiGsAwChIcK13]

A friend of mine and I always joke that if the Saw series continues the way it's going now we'll have a Saw 28 coming out one of these days or something. :rolleyes:

[JiGsAw#1]

While i'm in favour of a trilogy, i wouldn't be fazed with a fourth installment but only on the basis that Leigh and James make a sizeable contribution to ensure that the movie doesn't deviate from the original concept/idea.

I would be disappointed if a whole new crew were to take over the reigns and thus attempt to put their 'spin' on the franchise in an attempt to simply make revenue. As an avid movie-goer i'm quite cautious of franchises which push the boundaries outside of a trilogy, because as each sequel is made the films slowly move away from staying true to the original and it's fans.

[JiGsAw#1]

BTW i'm not sure if this has been posted yet, so don't flame me, but just in case here is a link which confirms Darren Lynn Bousman would 'happily return' for the next installment of Saw 4.

[Torre]

Probably a 4? :D

[Danie]

Thats good, i can trust them, i'm sure if they did go ahead and make a Saw 4 it would be great, but maybe they should stop there?

[MuffinMcFluffin]

Thats good, i can trust them, i'm sure if they did go ahead and make a Saw 4 it would be great, but maybe they should stop there?
You can't stop at four.

Can somebody please explain to me why you can stop at four? I've given MULTIPLE reasons why you can't, and why you can and should stop at three.

[pimpjoe_esb]

EVERYONE WATCH SAW III AT LEAST 3 TIMES SO WE CAN GET SAW 4!!

[Beautiful_Loser]

I want a saw4 plainly because I dont want saw to end.

I dont want to run out of things to talk about on here etc, and I love saw to death.. BRING THEM ON,saw 345203764 pleasse!

Or only not. :)

I hope leigh && James are involved though. Deffo.

part of me wants that. deffinately and for the reasons you say, but another part of me doesn't because I don't want it to end up like Nightmare on Elm Street or Friday the 13th

maybe it will be a prequil...that would be ok...and anyway who says that just because there might be a fourth one that darren wont be able to driect it because he's going onto another movie so they'll get someone else? maybe after he's done the next movie he'll move to saw 4 after that

[Nightmare13]

My guess? Is that 'SAW III' will end with all our unanswered questions being answered, all loose ends being tied in, all plot holes being filled, and all of us being shocked to shit and happy as Hell. However, I also believe that there will be some space in this twist ending... Enough space to just dismiss with the trilogy's end and, yet, enough space to exploit for 'S4W'... If they wanted to. And if they do make #4, then '5AW' is absolutely guaranteed. I do think, though, that #5 will be the last. IMO, James should direct the fifth. Nothing against DLB, a great director... But it'd be fitting for James to direct only the first and the last of the series he gave birth to.

I agree with most of what you say. My only hope is that if they do a 4 or 5 that it is a completely different cast [somehow]. I'd like this story to end with 3.

I, too, would love for this story to end at #3. As, I believe, is the general concensus of the members of 'HoJ'. If there is a 'S4W' (and subsequently '5AW') made, then I expect the crew to be the same. As far as the cast? The only one I can see returning is Shawnee. Tobin's character is elderly, is in the last legs of cancer, and had his ass kicked by a cop... All of which leading to a soon death. Other than Amanda as Jigsaw, I imagine that the entire cast will be fresh, with a new story (keeping the same general idea of 'SAW' of course), and traps/blood galore.

[Living Dead Girl]

*sigh* You've gotta be kidding me...well...even though I'm beginning to hate the idea of another one...just as long as Leigh is writting it and they don't change the director...I guess it will be okay.

[Izzat786]

Give the SAW team some credit... they haven't let us down yet. People need to stop thinking the 4th one will be a disaster. We have no idea what the third one is even about yet. You cannot make an accurate assumption about having a fourth movie without knowing what is gonna happen in the third.

[J i g S a w]

As long as any other sequels are good

[OnlyTheDevilCanSaveYou]

You know, I'd love them to keep making Saws... but like most other people I'd like it to stop at 3 just because that makes the series more... formal?

I'm kind of on both sides because I love the series so far.

If Leigh, James, and Darren made another extremely original series that would be good too... but I don't think they could top Saw... no offense to them though, I don't think anyone can. That is why I don't want it to end. :P

I'd like to see the series maybe expand on Amanda if they make a fourth... but she could never top John so the series might turn for the worse.

As you can tell, I'm confused about this. :P

[J i g S a w]

LOL. Yeah, you are, and so are alot of us. It must be human instinct. We want more, but not too much, or it will be bad. Kind of like eating to much cake or something. You want more, but when you finally get more, your sick of it.

Well, I'm not. Three all the way. If they make a fourth, I'll undoubtedly see it, and I will probably love it... but I will not be happy about the route they would have gone with making more than three.

I do not have to list the reasons again; I have already said them numerous times before in this thread.

[goodbyetonight]

I'm not gonna make a decision on whether there should be a Saw IV until I see the third one.

[sawtrap]

I still think Saw 4 should be made. I can't get enough of these movies.

[The Storyteller]

All over this message board that people think that Saw III is the perfect conclusion to the series.

HAVE YOU PEOPLE EVEN SEEN SAW III? I'm pretty sure not all of you who have said something like this have seen it. Maby some of you and the people who have seen it say it is a pretty good movie and the fourth may be better. Who knows. Just let them do what they think is wright and after we have all seen SAW III then we can say it was the perfect conclusion.

[Yazoon]

If you want some MAJOR ASS spoilers on "Saw 3" AND "Saw 4" highlight this (Yes it's true, from Bloody-Disgusting).............

OK that might be true but .....
remember that saw movies don't have to be chronologically ordered . They can , and am quoting one of the makers , "... jump around ..." .
So yes , he may or not ( Can't spoil it ! ) ...... but then , the movies don't have to be that way .

BTW i want them to milk out all the fun out of saw before it dies , mainly because I just joined loooool .
bye

[dissociation]

Please no SAW4!!!! We all love the SAW movies, but there has to be an ending.....they ruin everything if they don´t stop!!!

[mdb]

Did you guys ever think that saw 3 could open more doors? Now you're all saying that you don't want to see it, but perhaps saw 3 will cahnge some of yours thoughts.

[deko]

true man, true.

[MakeYourChoice]

See I'd love a Saw 4 if James, Leigh and Darren were behind it, but I respect the fact they want to move on, do other projects and not get typecast as 'The Saw Guys'. I think so long as they have some involvement in picking who takes on the tast of writing and directing Saw 4 it probably won't be tooooo bad. There's still the familiar stench of 'cashing-in' in the air though, so I can't say I'm particularly excited about Saw 4.

[marinea]

Exactly my thoughts. I read the review from the first screening and the guy said that the SAW franchise is over for him, and I think it will be for me too. I honestly can't see a reason to make a SAW 4 other than money. It is a sad fact that money runs this world, and that would be the only real reason to make a Saw 4, apparently with the way that Saw III ends, from what I've read. I don't know the ending, but from what I've read, it concludes the trilogy. I would not watch a Saw 4 as a legit chapter of Saw. It would probably be just another horror movie for me if I saw it. Now that Leigh, James, and Darren have concluded their involvement, the franchise will be over for me too, not including many, many re-playings of the Saw movies:p :p :p :p

[Bluecocaine]

I' ve read once, that Lionsgate Films is goin' to release 6 parts of SAW... :) perhaps we will have 2 trilogies ;)
