Re: Saw III

I was reading that SAW III was ending the trilogy and that SAW IV would start a whole new trilogy.

I guess we will see how this movie is on Saturday.

Trust me, you read wrong.

Re: Saw III

Without spoiling anything, I'm on IMDB and see that many actors from SAW II are in SAW III. What the hell are they doing in SAW III? I'm going to see this tomorrow.

I see the connection of Amanda & Kerry from SAW to SAW II, and can understand Donnie being in SAWIII trying to take down Jigsaw. Do the other characters from SAWII appear in flashbacks or is IMDB wrong?

Donnie Wahlberg .... Eric Matthews
Erik Knudsen .... Daniel Matthews
Tim Burd .... Obi
Franky G .... Xavier
Mpho Koaho .... Tim
Lyriq Bent .... Rigg
Niamh Wilson .... Corbett

That list is messed up on just so many levels. Don't believe it. There must have been some sort of screwup.

Who's Corbett?

All but 2 of them are in Saw 3.

Candy, Why are you trying to spoil it for yourself?

EDIT - Corbett is Jeff's daughter. And she was not in Saw 2.

I'm not trying to spoil it for myself, I was looking at IMDB to see which characters returned from SAW II. I didn't read anything about storyline or any of that, I want to be surprised.

Re: Saw III

Well, you just spoiled one of the bigger things in the movie. If you would have read the trivia...you would have saw this..


SPOILERS***************











Donnie Wahlberg was at once signed on to return as Detective Eric Matthews in flashback sequences, but later dropped out due to creative differences.


He was just added to the 2nd page of the cast page a day or 2 ago.

EG, I didn't read anything on the site except for who was in SAW III. No trivia, no story overview, nothing, zippo, zilcho.

I sure as hell hope that the Uncut DVD comes out at the same time! That's the only one that I'm waiting for.

Re: Saw III

I really liked SAW III and feel that it did a good job wrapping up the trilogy. I found the beginning to be quite odd and just felt like the movie was cut up as it appears that scenes were missing. Was this movie gory or what, the gore factor at one point made me a little bit queezy to my stomach.

EG, to say that the Hostel 2 trailer was better than this movie was just goofy, but it's an opinion. I'll give you that the trailer was really cool, but comparing a 1 minute teaser trailer to a full length feature isn't right.

One thing that I can say about this trilogy is that SAWIII didn't ignore it's past in anyway and the writers did a good job explaining everything even giving us a nice twist that I thought made sense. Comparing this to say one of my favorite franchises like Halloween & Nightmare on Elm Street, those fell apart by the 3rd movie in the series, with Halloween I would say the 4th since H3 (CRAP! CRAP! CRAP!) was something totally different. SAW II & III weren't as good as SAW, but they stayed on par of being good and not crap sequels that strayed away from their source material.

Blzer, where did you hear about an Uncut DVD? That would be really cool if they release one with material that might have been removed. You know the uncut DVD will come in a double dip situation.

Now I can go and read the Spoilers Discussion Thread and see what everyone thought.

Interview with Saw and Saw III writer Leigh Whannell (NOT SURE IF IT INCLUDES WHAT MIGHT BE CONSIDERED SPOILERS FOR ANY NON-SAW VIEWERS):

http://www.splatterfilms.com/news/88/15388.php

One snippet of it:

What have you included in the special edition of Saw II?

Leigh Whannell: There's a bit of extra footage that Darren had to cut out, and there's a bunch of extras. There's a short film that Darren made, which I think is always fun; I love getting DVD's where there's earlier short films done by the filmmakers. There's a couple of John Woo, if you get the hard-boiled special edition, there's a couple of short films he made. I love that film school; I actually think DVD's are making the next generation of kids a lot more film literate, because they listen to commentaries, they watch behind the scenes documentaries on these special films, and they're really learning how films are put together. So, they're much more film literate. This DVD has the short, it has a fake documentary that's meant to be a bit of fun, there's some behind the scenes stuff; there's some good stuff on there. I actually think that Saw III is going to make the best special edition, because there's a ton of extra footage, about 45 extra minutes of footage Darren had to cut out. And we also had this guy, Greg Gain - he was the first stills photographer on the first Saw; he came back and shot everything. He was there with a video camera through all the production meetings; he's got hours and hours of footage you could cut - I hope you could - it would be a great documentary showing how a film gets made. Not just the good stuff, but the bad stuff like pulling your hair out, the fights. I remember a fight once with Darren once, and there was Greg rolling on it; I hope that stuff makes it in.

Like I told you (and like it seems that you have agreed), the pacing in the movie is terrible, especially in said parts (won't spoil them if you as the viewer wouldn't like to know). So, hopefully this is where most of the 45-some minutes of extra footage is put into with the Uncut DVD.



By the way, this is completely speculation, but I talked to a guy that works at Blockbuster, and their computer was given a Saw III (Rated) DVD release of 1/23/07 the day after Saw III came out. As that may have just seem random before official, it turns out to have been true. Now, even though the Uncut DVD has yet to be announced, their computer has ALSO recently slated an Uncut DVD announcement of 1/23/07 also! Let's hope this is true!!!
