Poor Scarlett

Cockroaches and Saw movies will be the last things on Earth before it is destroyed. How do I know? Because of Saw VII. Yes, you're correct that Saw VI doesn't come out until next Friday, but they’ve already got the release date locked up for the next film in October 2010. That's still one per year, forever. And as a bonus it's in 3-D! Here's the scoop:

Twisted Pictures producer Mark Burg told the press next year’s entry is slightly more expensive and involves more pre-production. Why? Because it will be shot in 3-D with Saw V’s David Hackl back in the director’s chair. [Thank goodness. Saw VI was supposed to be twice as good as Saw III, but it was really only half-again better than Saw IV]. Burg says he was impressed by a brief presentation he saw of the original Saw in 3-D and felt the series lent itself to the format.

“It’s worth it,” he explains. “We want to be able to build the sets that take advantage of depth. We’re going to design traps to come at you. The pendulum trap that opened the last movie would have been great in 3-D.” He’s excited by the prospect of the next entry and compares some of the gags they’ve got in mind to My Bloody Valentine 3D.

“A lot of the movie we’re planning where the victim’s eye, stuff is coming towards them. They’re point of view. I think the audience wants some Bloody Valentine-type moments where the gun comes into the audience and stuff like that.”

Look on the bright side, babe - even though you end up working on those films every year, you're still better off getting that lucky draw and rotating onto those every time instead of the also-annual Tyler Perry shitfest. I would rather be in an actual Saw trap than have to see a Tyler Perry fim.
