It now appears that Jigsaw’s reign of terror may not be over after all. While 2010’s Saw 3D: The Final Chapter finished the long-running series of movies that first began in 2004, franchise producers Mark Burg and Oren Koules have commented on their desire to revive the popular series that until four years ago was the king of Halloween. They seem particularly motivated by the possibility of bringing back series creators James Wan and Leigh Whannell.

“I’ve entertained the idea. But that’s more of a fantasy, I think. It’s a story Leigh and I really like and…who knows?” – James Wan

In a recent interview with Shock Till You Drop, Koules claimed that Whannell and Wan were open to returning to the bloody franchise they had built. While both of the series creators had previously left for similar reasons (so as not to be labeled as the “Saw guys”), Koules says that now that they’ve “made their own mark, they’re very comfortable to come back. James and Leigh are absolutely going to put their mark on it.“

The original Saw will return to theaters for one week only, starting on October 31st. Oren Koules continued to say that one of their primary motivations for bringing the horror classic back for a limited theatrical run was to bring attention back to the series:

“It’s one of the reasons we agreed to do this again. We kind of wanted to build it up. Our goal is to go to Comic-Con, not next summer but the summer after with our heads up saying, ‘Here we go.’ James and Leigh are comfortable with the success they’ve had. And it’s time. James is in post on his movie. Leigh’s on post on [Insidious Chapter 3]. Everyone has time and it’s time.”

It is unknown whether the revival of the Saw franchise will be a sequel, reboot or combination of both. However, considering the series was definitely at its best when the original creators were still involved, their inclusion with the next entry is surely good news. Hopefully Billy the creepy puppet will also return, as it definitely wouldn’t be Saw without him.
