Earlier this year, Lionsgate revealed it was to resurrect the Saw franchise which appeared to draw to a close with seventh outing Saw 3D in 2010.

No details were known other than the fact it was named Saw: Legacy and that the screenplay was being written by Josh Stolberg and (the brilliantly named) Pete Goldfinger whose previous credits promisingly include Pirhana 3D and Sorority Row.

It now seems the film is moving along nicely with Deadline reporting that cameras are set to roll in Toronto this September under the guide of directing siblings, Michael and Peter Spierig. Their previous credits include the Ethan Hawke-starring vampire film Daybreakers.

Staying true to the original franchise's October release dates, Saw: Legacy is set to be released October 2017.

Whether it's a reboot or a direct continuation is not known, but rest assured it will feature as much gore as you'd expect from a Saw outing.
