Despite previous rumors that Lionsgate may skip a year before releasing the fifth installment in the
Saw franchise, the studio has announced that
Saw V will be released on October 24, 2008.
David Hackl is attached to direct. Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton, who wrote
Saw IV, are developing the screenplay. Nothing is known about the plot line at this point. Another rumor which was reported a few months ago, is that the studio will shoot both
Saw V and
Saw VI simultaneously, although this has not been substantiated.
Tobin Bell will return as Jigsaw.
Saw V is scheduled to begin shooting after the first of the new year.

personaly i think all the saws kick ass keep up the good work guys..
Keep up the good work Lionsgate:D
I also find it ridiculous & pointless to keep a film series going to the point it's beaten to death like a dead horse.
Prime Examples incld: "Amittyville Horror", "Friday the 13th", "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre", & "A Nightmare on Elm Street".
I mean the worst sequel I can think of at the moment was "Jason X" or AKA "Jason in Space"! That was so bad, it was laughable!! I remember seeing an advance screening of it where 1/2 the audience laughed, & others walked out!
Have you read even what "Saw V" is about! I have, & all I do is laugh!
Here is some stuff I found on "Saw V":
1) Saw V will not be directed by Darren Lynn Bousman, but instead by David Hackl, who was the production designer of Saw II, Saw III and Saw IV.
2) How do you get Tobin Bell into a movie when he is is already dead?
3) The plot details have not yet been revealed, although in an interview with IGN, Patrick Melton revealed that "Saw V" will explain what happened to Corbett, the daughter of Lynn Denlon and Jeff Reinhart, following the conclusion of Saw III that left her in danger. An interview with Tobin Bell revealed that the origins of Billy the puppet and his red tricycle would be further explained after having the story's roots planted in "Saw IV".
Greeeeaaat we find out about the red tricycle & a puppet!!! Childhood trauma!!
POINTLESS!
