Saw V (simply referred to as V in marketing) is the upcoming fifth installment in the Saw film series. The film is set to be released on October 24, 2008.[2] Unlike the previous three installments, Saw V will not be directed by Darren Lynn Bousman, but instead by David Hackl,[3] who was the production designer of Saw II, Saw III and Saw IV.

Production

Development

Saw V was written by Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan,[4][5] and the film went into production after Christmas 2007.[6] Filming began on March 17, 2008 in Toronto[1], and principal photography concluded on April 28, 2008. Saw V finished filming by May 2, 2008 and had started post-production.[7][1] So far, there have been three photos released of David Hackl at the set of Saw V.[8] The first trailer, depicting Agent Strahm's box trap, was released at Comic-Con 08 as of a short clip and the trailer was also shown before The X-Files: I Want to Believe.[9][10] The website opened on August 6, 2008 but only led to the teaser trailer after filling out the basic information chart. On September 17th, a new clip was available on the Saw V website, depicting the Pendulum Trap.

Plot details

The plot details have not yet been revealed, although in an interview with IGN, Patrick Melton revealed that Saw V will explain what happened to Corbett, the daughter of Lynn Denlon and Jeff Reinhart, following the conclusion of Saw III that left her in danger.[5] An interview with Tobin Bell revealed that the origins of Billy the puppet and his red tricycle would be further explained after having the story's roots planted in Saw IV.[11] Also, in an interview on June 13, 2007, Tobin Bell teased that he would not be surprised if the character of Cecil made a reappearance, and that the pieces of flesh taken from the victims in the form of a jigsaw puzzle might be explained.[12]

According to director David Hackl, one trap can potentially kill the actor meant to be placed in it, and so paramedics will be standing by while filming; Hackl joked that the trap would truly test the actor, just like Jigsaw tests his victims.[13] Later in an interview discussing this trap in Saw V, David Hackl revealed that Scott Patterson's character, Agent Strahm, would be placed in the trap and Hackl called the trap 'the most dangerous' and 'elegant in its simplicity'; it was later shown in a picture that the trap would be filled with water.[14]

There will be a total of seven traps in this film.[14]

In the Saw IV DVD commentary, Darren Lynn Bousman stated that the glass box trap,[15] which was originally planned to be used in Saw IV, will be further explored in Saw V.[16] The glass trap was only shown, not used, in the final cut of Saw IV.

Lionsgate recently released a brief plot synopsis for Saw V that "Hoffman is seemingly the last person alive to carry on the Jigsaw legacy. But when his secret is threatened, Hoffman must go on the hunt to eliminate all loose ends."[17]

According to the producer, a theme of the film will be teamwork and it will thematically be like the original Saw. [18]

In an interview with IGN, Julie Benz said that the character of Brit is a real-estate developer and that the character is corporate like a thorough-bred race-horse. She also revealed that this is the first film about which she ever had a nightmare.[19]

Release

The film will be released in Australia on October 23, 2008,[20] in North America and the United Kingdom on October 24, 2008,[20][4] and in New Zealand on October 30, 2008.[20]

Opening sequence

At the 2008 Comic-con, along with the teaser trailer, a clip of the film's opening sequence was shown. However, unlike the teaser, the clip did not appear online for the time being. However, on September 17, 2008, the clip was finally revealed via website. The opening sequence introduces a new character named Seth, who was serving a life sentence for murdering people but got off after five years due to a "technicality". He is placed in a pendulum trap that begins swinging at 30 seconds, and at the end of 60 seconds will cut him in half. In order to stop the device, Seth has to put his hands in two devices and push the buttons before him, which will "render of the tools that kills: your hands". Seth partly accomplishes this task. It destroys his hands, but the pendulum keeps going. The clock is on the 50 second hand as the clip ends and the title card is revealed, his fate was left unknown.[21]
