Principal Photography Begins Tomorrow on 'Saw VII 3D'

While there was a shred of hope that Kevin Greutert would return to Paramount to get behind the camera for Paranormal Activity 2, it looks as if the director of Saw VI will be reluctantly starting principal photography on Saw VII 3D tomorrow. Greutert made an official comment on the start of Jigsaw's seventh game that can be read beyond the break. What do you guys think?

"Well, team, it's hard to believe, but I start rolling high res 3D video on this movie tomorrow morning," he states on the House of Jigsaw forum. "It's still an unreal fog to me (the experience, not the 3D video, although come to think of it... well, never mind that for now...), having one week to prep the most expensive SAW film of all. We've attempted a comprehensive rewrite on the script since I got here, but it's tough: the sets are built, the traps are built, the storyline is set, and any major changes mean throwing out existing stuff, and it's hard to find the time, money and will to do things a different way.

It has not been a picnic, but the crew is working hard, and I am as well. On those rare occasions when I can actually go to sleep, I see images like the World Trade Center collapsing in slow motion, plane crashes, drownings, other bad shit. It's unhealthy for me, but hopefully the creepy scariness of my life right now is somehow translating into a vibe that will be good for the movie, if they'll just give me a chance to put my stamp on it here and there. Very difficult indeed...

Thanks for hanging with me, everyone. And send some love to David Hackl, he could use it as much as me, if not more.
"

David Hackl was originally slated to direct until Lionsgate exercised their option in Greutert's contract to force him to return, instead o directing PA2. SAW VII 3D arrives in theaters October 22.

I have the best idea for an ending that would pretty much piss off every single SAW fan on the planet. I might write it out and post it because I think it's hilarious and the best-worst way to end the franchise.

Wow it would be great if Greutert purposefully made Saw VII suck because of Lionsgate forcing him out of PA2!!! I would love that because I want the Saw franchise to end permanently!!!! They went completely downhill for me after that idiot Hoffman took over!!!

I agree with Corbin007, although I still haven't seen part VI so I guess I can't fully say I dislike all the ones after part 3 but 4 and 5 werent very good imo.

That's some bad news after how good part 6 was.This will be rushed and unispired.

Mr. Disgusting, please share! Here's my ending: I would love for this series to end with a reveal involving Jigsaw's head opening up with that little alien dude from Men In Black inside. This little dude: http://www.drunkendata.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/men-i n-black-alien.jpg Could be awesomely hilarious and serve as an all-knowing master/puppet explanation to why Jigsaw knew... everything that occur in every single one of the movies. An all-knowing alien, Brainiac bastard from space behind the mental controls of John Kramer. Hoffman dies, of course, by crapping himself silly at this reveal.

I really indeed hope and prey they end it here.

"They went completely downhill for me after that idiot Hoffman took over!!!" I agree! I can't stand that bastard. And he's STILL alive! He just needs to die already.

I'm happy that the same director is back. SAW 6 was impressive after the shit that 4 and 5 are.

sooo as much as i love saw. i agree. they ar going to far. i dont want to see saw VII ruined like 5 was. i reallly disliked 5. and was not thilled to see saw vi. but i did anyway and was blown away by how much better it was. so now that kevin is back i have hope for saw vii. (now the only problem is its 3d and its part 7.) please... stop while you still have a chance. let 7 or 8 be the last one. and keep david out please? dont think hes cut for directing... i am still trying to decide weather or not to see it in 3D. grrr why do they have to ruin such a great series. my fav saws in order 1 3 6 2 4 5... i hope 7 can be towards the front of that ..but im very doubtful. sorry kevin about getting sucked in to a project you dont want to work on. but i believe you will make us happy. =D

How sad that even the director doesn't want to make this film. Such a shame because part VI was fantastic.

Everyone needs to stop saying they are Saw fans. You are not a fan of the franchise if you want it to stop. Jigsaw lost my respect in part 6. Go Hoffman!!

I really like KEVIN.. Problem is..if he aint happy.. the movie is going to suffer... as a SAW fan..VI was AWESOME.. if this movie ends up crappy.. I will be so pissed..VII could be so good. I am sure it probably will end up like.. THE FINAL DESTINATION..utter crap..so sad.. i love this series.. BRING IT ON I GUESS..

I'm already sick of hearing this guy whine about not wanting to make the movie...

Final Destination 4 wasnt crap. it was such a good movie

It's strange to hear/read all these negative opinions when the truth is that, (A)Saw 5 was the worst in the series thanks to David Hackl and not only does he not deserve to return as a director but nobody wants him back since he missed his opportunity hitting the spot with 5, (B)Saw 6 was a great improvement thanks to Kevin Greutert, (C)Saw 6 failed at the box office not really because of Paranormal Activity but because a lot of fans lost faith in the franchise thanks to Saw 5, (D)Kevin Greutert should actually be happy that he got pulled out of PA2 since it was a sequel nobody wanted like Blair Witch Project 2, and it would have ended his career instead of boosting it, (E)Kevin Greutert should simply be thankful that he has the director's job to the most successful horror franchise where he can once again prove that he has what it takes, rather than the majority of horror directors having a hard time to prove even that since their audience is going to be limited compared to the fairly promised amount of audience for Saw 7.

Yay!!! Let's hope this movie is like the last one! I have faith in Kevin! I feel bad for him, but he is one of the best things to happen to the SAW series. I just hope their is no new jigsaw. I don't care if Jill was the new one, but not someone stupid like Pamula or the girl at the beginning of 6th. Well, good luck Kevin and I have faith in you!
