Darren Bousman’s reboot Spiral: From the Book of Saw pulled in $40 million worldwide earlier this year, not quite reaching the previous highs of the franchise, but it looks like it was enough to warrant the spend on another Saw movie. With the budgets kept in check, Saw can continue to be a profitable franchise for years to come, and another sequel is indeed on the way.
Spiral: From the Book of Saw writer Josh Stolberg confirms in a new tweet that he’s currently “polishing up the next Saw script,” and he offers up an interesting tease for what’s next.
“What I can promise you is that this is gonna make John Kramer fans very happy!!!” Stolberg tweets, suggesting that Tobin Bell‘s John Kramer may be coming back to the screen.
John Kramer (aka Jigsaw) was of course killed off in Saw III back in 2006, with the character making flashback appearances in subsequent films. Bell didn’t appear in Spiral: From the Book of Saw, however, which took place in the same world as the previous movies but introduced a brand new killer. Kramer may be dead, but it seems we haven’t seen the last of him.
Stay tuned for more as we learn it.
