Spiral: From the Book of Saw
TheSawreboot , which is currently slated for a May 2020 press release , is surrounded by meditation about possible connecter to the other films in the series .
Even though the plot point are comparatively hush - hush , the celluloid seems to be on track to hit theaters almost five months before its original release date of October 2020 . Filming was underway in Toronto as early as July , so Lionsgate decide to move up the handout , possibly so as not to have to compete at the box authority with another major franchise giant : Halloween Kills . Technically , the franchise has already had a reboot in its thick before with the dismissal ofJigsawin 2017 . However , the story for the reboot came from a somewhat unexpected informant : Chris Rock .

Given that the franchise has gone through period of time where it was conjecture to stop completely ( Saw 3Dwas primitively titled " The Final Chapter " ) , a remaking is an interesting counseling , since it implies longevity and perhaps the scratch line of a raw serial of films totally . The enfranchisement has been pop since its debut in 2004 , and with the rise of remakes in Hollywood , especially in repugnance , the timing could n’t be just for a new beginning .
“A Reimagining and a Spinning Off Of the Franchise”
The picture show ’s working title isThe Organ Donor , so that might hint at what the plot could contain , but according to Lionsgate , theSawreboot is mean to be " a reimagining and a spinning off of the franchise . " Chris Rock supply the idea for the book , which , given Rock ’s aptness for occasionally dark , controversial humor , could very well be a mate made in nether region for the franchise . As a reimagining , it ’s possible that the next film is accept the level ofJigsawin a novel focus entirely , perhaps colligate to his background as a sawbones and , if you take the working deed of conveyance as a hint , sourcing expectation for organ donation to save life in his own , distorted room . Whatever the heart and soul of the plot , it ’s bound to be a gory , blood - soaked pleasure for fans of the " torture porn " trend of revulsion , where theSawfranchise always rescue .
Though the plot is very much under lock chamber and key , potential to avoid spoiling any twists that the franchise is notorious for let loose on consultation , the cast of the film looks absolutely spectacular . Samuel L. Jackson , Marisol Nichols , Max Minghella , Chris Rock , and Zoie Palmer are all slated to asterisk .
Another feather in the cap for theSawreboot is the return of Darren Lynn Bousman to the conductor ’s death chair . Bousman previously guide installation II , III , and IV . Chris Rock is reportedly playing a cop who is called to investigate a series of crimes . Jackson will be playing his father , and Nichols will be playing his party boss , Captain Angie Garza .

This seems alike to the initial social organisation since various constabulary officers and investigator take up type throughout the serial , each slowly exposing piece by piece ofJohn Kramer ’s ( Tobin Bell ) mat web of vicious crime . Could Rock ’s character , Zeke , somehow be join to the premature casing ? One might conceive that some of them may have gone cold , and perhaps a new hint . This lead could be something that has to do with organ contribution , particularly if it ’s done without consent , and could lead Zeke ( Rock ) back toJigsaw . Or , perhaps , Jackson is the key - he is play an old role , perhaps someone who was involved with Matthews(Saw II ) , Detective Mark Hoffman ( Saw III ) , or even Detective Tapp from the first film .
