The logo for the latest Saw movie was revealed at CinemaCon, showing that the title of the movie really is Saw X!

The new Saw movie that started filming in Mexico City well before the end of last year and finally wrapped production this past February happens to be the tenth installment in that franchise, so we have been referring to it as Saw X… and as it turns out, that’s exactly what the movie is going to be called! The Saw was spotted by Collider at the CinemaCon convention. As the image shows,

Saw will be in theaters on October 271001010th. That date lives up to the saying from the franchise’s heyday, “If it’s Halloween, it must be Saw.”Saw VI and

Saw: The Final Chapter director Kevin Greutert (who also edited the first five films, plus Jigsaw) is back at the helm for Saw X. Jigsaw and Spiral: From the Book of Saw screenwriters Pete Goldfinger and Josh Stolberg have written the script. Stolberg has promised that this movie “is gonna make John Kramer fans very happy!” It has been said that “The upcoming Saw movie is planned to be very much a John Kramer story … The idea is that the story is being told from Kramer’s point of view as opposed to following the trap victims.”Tobin Bell reprises the role of John Kramer / Jigsaw and is joined in the cast by Synnove Macody Lund (Ragnarok

), Steven Brand (The Sandman), Michael Beach (Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story), Renata Vaca (Pedal to Medal), Paulette Hernandez (Crown of Tears), Joshua Okamoto (Control-Z), and Octavio Hinojosa (How to Survive Being Single). It has been said that Shawnee Smith might be reprising the role of Amanda Young (previously seen in Saw, Saw II, Saw III, and Saw VI) in Saw X, but her involvement still hasn’t been confirmed.Franchise producers Mark Burg and Oren Koules of Twisted Pictures provided the following statement: “What a thrill to be reuniting with Tobin. His performance as John Kramer is part of the magic that made this franchise a phenomenon and his character is an active part of this film.” They have previously said, “We have been listening to what the fans have been asking for and are hard at work planning a movie that Saw

aficionados and horror fans alike will love.”A press release from Lionsgate says “the return of Bell to the franchise furthers Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures’ goal of a film that captures everything Saw

fans love about the franchise, while also keeping them guessing with all-new traps and a new mystery to solve.”Deadline reminds us that Bell’s Kramer (otherwise known as Jigsaw) is “the antagonist at the heart of the Saw

franchise – a former civil engineer who was diagnosed with colon cancer and subsequently elected to test others’ will to live via a series of deadly games. The character appeared in the first three Saw films before being killed off, then going on to appear via flashbacks in most of the films that followed.”Are you looking forward to Saw X

, and are you glad that’s the title they’re going with? Leave a comment to let us know what you think.
