The SAW X featurette teases that the sequel will be “like the first films” in the franchise

Lionsgate has released a new featurette for the upcoming horror film I saw X. The video offers some new insight into the film from the cast and crew, as well as giving us some new footage to enjoy.

The film comes from Kevin Greutert, who teases in the video that this sequel will resemble the first films in the series, saying: “Our desire was to make a film that felt more like the first Saw films.” Producer Oren Koules also noted: “In our minds, this is it for real Visa II.”

Koules went on to explain this I saw X is a film made especially for longtime fans of the franchise. It’s a film that die-hard fans will definitely appreciate.

This film is set between the events of I saw it AND II, and it follows that “a sick and desperate John travels to Mexico for a risky and experimental medical procedure in hopes of a miracle cure for his cancer – only to discover that the entire operation is a scam to defraud the most vulnerable. The infamous assassin returns to his work, turning the tables on crooks in his signature visceral way through devious, deranged and ingenious traps.

The film’s goal is to make a film that “captures everything Saw fans love about the franchise, while also keeping them guessing with new traps and a new mystery to solve.”

The cast for I saw X also includes Tobin Bell as John Kramer, aka Jigsaw Renata Vaca (Midnight family), Paulette Hernandez (Crown of tears), Joshua Okamoto (Control-Z), Ottavio Hinojosa (Come play with me), Synnove Macody Lund (Ragnarok), Steven Brand (The Sandman) AND Michele Spiaggia (Dahmer).
