Why was the movie “Saw 11” (2025) canceled? The Backstage Scandal killed a horror franchise

Now it is clear: “Saw 11” officially canceled. And the reason was not the mistakes of the money and not the absence of ideas, but a fierce conflict of producers.

“Saw 11” was announced shortly after the premiere of the tenth, the love of spectators and critics earned. The film should be released in September 2024, after which the release was postponed to the 2025. But the chaos was hidden behind loud promises: the work on the project was already coming up in January 2024.

The War of Producers

According to Bloody, everything collapsed due to the conflict between the two most important producers of the Berg and ears Kules Franchisemark. The one insisted on the rapid launch of the project and the direct continuation of the “Saw 10”, the other wanted to freeze the process completely.

Sources claim that many more everyday things were hidden behind the disputes about the creative course: money and control. Burg tried to switch to the franchise to another distributor and get more favorable circumstances, and Kules was ready to work with Lionsgate for the earlier conditions. As a result, the parties blocked each other, and the studio, which did not have the rights to the brand itself, was powerless.

“Saw 11” had to literally continue the story from the last seconds of “Saw 10”. The script returned to the Hoffman screen and promised to make the central figure of John Kramer again, performed by Tinbin Bell. According to sources, the draft version of the script was already ready and received the approval from the actors and part of the team. But all this was buried because of the struggle of ambitions and money.

What is waiting for the franchise

Now “Drink 11” is officially dead. And although fans hope for restart of spin -offs, analysts already compare the situation with the long -term legal wars around the “Friday, 13th”: because of the battle for the rights of the franchise, it has been frozen for ten years.

One of the fans wrote: “Yes, the film was quietly canceled. They will not officially tell us this, but no plans for” Saw 11 “No”. Another added:

“This is not a matter of popularity. This is a matter of backstage games, and until they find out, there is nothing to wait.”

In the worst case, the “saw” can disappear from the scenes for a long time, and “Saw 10”, where Tinbin Bell gave us, perhaps the best embodiment of John Kramer, will remain the last point in the history of the legendary maniac.
