For the first time since the original SAW, James Wan will be heavily involved in the franchise's next installment.
Wan tells @letterboxd in a new chat, "I have not been involved in this franchise to this degree, to this depth, basically since the first movie. On Saw III, I was kind of there, helping them shape the story, but I’m probably the one person in that world that has been the most removed from the franchise in that regard, other than giving my blessing throughout multiple films.
"I feel I can come back to it with a new perspective whilst knowing that with this next movie I want to hark back to the spirit of the first movie. One of the things I really want to do with this next Saw is make it scary again. I want to make a scary Saw—not just gory, but psychologically scarring, like what Leigh and I did in the first movie.
"Leigh and I both want to recapture the spirit of that first film and revisit Jigsaw’s philosophy, which is that he goes after people who don’t appreciate their lives. If you’re a scumbag, but you appreciate your life, he doesn’t see you as someone who’s wasting your life, so I want to go back to what we touched on in the first movie with regard to that. At the same time, I want to honor what people have come to love about the franchise, whilst trying to do something fresh and new that we haven’t seen before.
"This next movie would be the eleventh installment, and there’ve been lots of films in this world. We need to do something different in order to reach out to a new generation that didn’t grow up with it."

https://t.co/GZkmqCJmKp Voy a revivir a Lawrence, posiblemente cuando tengamos noticias nuevas de Saw XI. Es mi personaje principal, y quiero traerlo con todos los juguetes.
Solo que, les pido que me den tiempo. Tengo que ingeniarme trampas nuevas.ᅠ
