SAW 3D the 1st look
Saw 3D, also known as Saw VII, is an upcoming 3D horror film directed by Kevin Greutert, written by Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan, and starring Tobin Bell, Costas Mandylor, Cary Elwes, Betsy Russell and Sean Patrick Flannery. It is the seventh and final installment of the Saw film series, and the only one shot in 3D.
An eighth installment was planned, but the decrease in box office numbers for Saw VI has led to Saw 3D being the final film in the series, and the plot concept for Saw VIII being incorporated into Saw 3D. Saw V director David Hackl was to direct the film, but two weeks before filming Lionsgate announced that Greutert, who directed the sixth film, would direct. Principal photography took place in Toronto from February to April 2010 and was filmed with the SI-3D digital camera system, as opposed to shooting with traditional cameras and later transferring to 3D during post-production. It was originally scheduled to be released on October 22, 2010, but was pushed back a week to October 29, 2010.
