AceShowbiz - First look at "Jigsaw" has been debuted by Lionsgate in the form of photo. Making its way out via Entertainment Weekly, the image teases fans with one of the titular serial killer's deadly traps that will be featured in the eighth installment of the "Saw" movie series.
The photo features yet another victim struggling to break free from the trap. The said victim is Anna, played by "Supergirl" alum Laura Vandervoort, who is drowning in what looks like sand pit as she appears to be screaming out for help, while her right arm is covered in blood.
"Jigsaw" will hit U.S. theaters this year on October 27. It picks up a decade after the original reign of terror overseen by the titular homicidal maniac played by Tobin Bell. "Bodies are turning up, and they're linked to Jigsaw - or a Jigsaw copycat," Peter Spierig ("Daybreakers"), who directed with his brother Michael, tells EW.
Tobin's character actually died in "Saw III", and the actor is not listed in the official credits. When asked if Bell will return to reprise his role as the titular serial killer, Peter coyly responds, "The DNA of Tobin Bell is all over this film."
The Spierig brothers confirm "Jigsaw" features plenty of the deadly traps for which the franchise is famous. "We've got some pretty wild traps in the film - we don't shy away from the gore," says Michael. "It's such a perfect Halloween scarefest. It's perhaps not quite as vicious and more fun, which is something we tried to inject into it. But it's still full of good fun gore, that's for sure. And, on top of that, it's got a really great mystery, and there's very interesting twists. It's 'Saw' for 2017."
Written by Josh Stolberg and Peter Goldfinger, "Jigsaw" also stars Matt Passmore, Callum Keith Rennie, Cle Bennett, Hannah Emily Anderson, Mandela Van Peebles, Paul Braunstein, Brittany Allen and Josiah Black.
