In a move that no one saw coming, Saw will be rebooted with the help of noneother than Chris Rock. This isn't the first time household comedians have delved into the genre (Jordan Peele, Danny McBride), but a move of this sort still never ceases to suprise general audiences.
In a very extensive announcement, Legendary has also revealed the creative team behind the reboot, as well as a release date. Coming out October 23, 2020, the reboot will see the return of producers James Wan and Leigh Whannell, while also bring back Saw II director Darren Lynn Bousman to the fold. The film is expected to build off the existing mythology of the first few installments. "I’ve been a fan of Saw since the first film in 2004, I am excited by the opportunity to take this to a really intense and twisted new place." Rock says.
In addition to the announcement, the team behind the sequel very much praised Rock's vision, adjusting the franchise to the modern world in a crazy new fashion. At the very least, this will no doubt be a reboot that will intrigue existing fans of the genre and the series.
