Rama's Screen

The big flop bitter pill that SAW VI had to taste last Halloween was taken hard by scribe Patrick Melton who wrote the previous 3 SAW movies with his screenwriting partner Marcus Dunstan. Melton talked recently, via demonfm and latinoreview, and he strongly believed that the upcoming SAW VII which opens this year’s Halloween season would be the final movie, the one that would put the franchise to an absolute end…

“I think it’s going to end with Saw VII. I have a very strong feeling its going to end with Saw VII. That’s something we’re debating now. You saw in previous interviews or discussions where we thought Saw VIII would be the last one where we had the first trilogy and the second trilogy and then sort of a grand finale wrapped up in two films. But frankly because Saw VI hasn’t performed as well as we anticipated, the idea is well why make two movies when we can make one really excellent movie
that wraps up as best we can? And it’s going to be in 3-D which sort of adds to the spectacle. So if you had to ask me, I don’t own the franchise, nor do I run the studio, but I have a feeling, a strong feeling that it’s going to be Saw VII which will be also known as Endgame. And nothing’s official yet, but that’s where we’re hoping things will go. “

Interesting.. SAW VII: ENDGAME.. I’m sure we’ll hear an announcement soon enough
I’m a fan of SAW movies but Melton has a point and I can’t keep denying the fact that the torture porn just doesn’t appeal the same anymore to horror fans as it did in the early 2000s along with those Hostel movies.
SAW VII in 3D is scheduled to open on October 22nd, 2010. And as we know, the competition for that weekend is PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 2.
