"1. The title is just SAW 2, not SAW 2: HACKSAW!
- Where the hell did this whole SAW 2: HACKSAW thing start? The script is just called SAW 2. Period. Maybe that\'ll change down the road, but everyone needs to lose the "Hacksaw" part of it.
2. There are no issues with getting a script ready in time.
- We\'ve had a sequel script since about a week after SAW opened. It was a screenplay that was submitted to me as another potential movie idea for us to produce. After I pitched Oren Koules (one of the other Twisted partners) the idea, he said that could be Saw 2 with a few changes. It\'s turned into more than "a few" changes, but the only way we could ever hope to get the sequel into theaters 12 months after the original was to start with an existing script. James and Leigh are in Los Angeles now and are personally supervising the next draft of the script.
3. There IS a director and he WILL be announced soon.
- I think your spies may be closing in on his identity, but you\'ll get nothing more from me about this until I\'m damn well good and ready!
4. PG-13? GET REAL!
- There is NO CHANCE IN HELL we would ever turn the franchise into a PG-13 wuss fest! Give us some damn credit here! Remember, we don\'t answer to any corporate body. I can guarantee there\'s going to be plenty of "kick" to the new film. We don\'t want to go through the same MPAA battle we had last time, but WE ARE NOT SELLING THIS FRANCHISE OUT (until at least Saw 4!)
5. The film will be shot in Canada.
- We\'ll be shooting this one in a large Canadian metropolis west of Montreal and East of Calgary.
That\'s all the news on SAW 2 should be out Halloween 2005.
