Get more Saw 4 (Saw IV) news

In a shocking turn of events it was revealed the other day that Darren Lynn Bousman would be returning to helm Saw IV for Lionsgate. Now that the dust has settled, Darren has taken the time to address his fans about the announcement, which can be found inside. Watch for more news as it comes in. Production is scheduled to begin in Toronto on April 16.

Darren Lynn Bousman writes on his MySpace:

"SO after I have publicly gone on the record NUMEROUS times saying I WILL NOT return to direct SAW IV is it possibly true that, indeed I will be returning??? Ok... I should have never opened my big mouth... As I have now learned NEVER say NEVER... The rumors are in fact true... "I'LL BE BACK" (in my bad Arnold Schwarzenegger impression).

First off, let me dispel some rumors.... REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA IS HAPPENING!!!! (REPO OPERA myspace page is going up shortly) REPO is a ROCK OEPRA! Thus it is entirely sung... meaning over 35 songs have to be recorded and mixed PRIOR to us filming... That is going to take about four months... On top of that - I want to use the same crew as from the SAW films... That pushes me another two months... That means the EARLIEST I could shoot REPO would be September...

So here I have this gaping whole for the next 8 months before I could even begin shooting... I freak out if I am not constantly doing something... I was approached with Saw as an idea to fill that void... At first I turned it down just on principle... I have been WAY to lucky with the past films to warrant or RISK me coming back... And then I read the script... I read the draft of SAW IV... My first reaction....

FUCKING DAMNIT!!!!

This script was good... no... not good... GREAT... I was totally prepared for this script to JUMP THE SHARK - - I mean - we are on our THIRD sequel - where in fucks sake to you go from here? In the case of this script... UP!

I met with writers to give them my two cents... The next thing I knew I was all giddy like a school girl about where the film and the franchise was headed...

SHOW ME WHERE TO SIGN I screamed inside Twisted Pictures quite office...

There are those who have sent me emails asking "Are you fucking crazy? You're doing IV?" Well, yes, I am crazy... But I would be INSANE if I didn't do it... I get to work with people I love - make disgusting traps that spray the red stuff - and have an arsenal of material to offend, well, everybody... Plus, who else is going to let me get away with the sick shit that I do???

SAW IV is not a step backwards – it's a leap forward…"
