Lionsgate has announced that the tenth Saw movie, appropriately titled Saw X, is set to hit theatres a month earlier than originally advertised on September 29, and the studio has also debuted a first-look still from the horror prequel.
The image features the returning Tobin Bell as John Kramer, aka the twisted Jigsaw Killer.
We also have conformation that Saw X will be set between the events of the first two movies, and focus on "a sick and desperate John travelling to Mexico for a risky and experimental medical procedure in hopes of a miracle cure for his cancer — only to discover the entire operation is a scam to defraud the most vulnerable."
"Armed with a newfound purpose, the infamous serial killer returns to his work, turning the tables on the con artists in his signature visceral way through devious, deranged and ingenious traps."
It sounds like they might be attempting to spin Jigsaw as more of an avenging anti-hero than an outright villain here, which may prove to be an interesting take.
The tenth installment in the popular horror franchise is directed by Kevin Greutert (Saw VI, Saw VII) from a screenplay by Peter Goldfinger (Jigsaw, Spiral) and Josh Stolberg.
The cast also includes Synnove Macody Lund, Steven Brand, Michael Beach, Renata Vaca, Paulette Hernandez, Joshua Okamoto, and Octavio Hinojosa, with sees Shawnee Smith set to reprise the role of Amanda Young.
