“There’s much more to the Saw movies than just Jigsaw…” –
– Darren Lynn Bousman
Don’t blame Darren Lynn Bousman for giving me a relatively swift interview – he’s a busy guy. Apart from Saw IV, which he’s currently out doing promotion for, he’s also shooting a film in Toronto called Repo!: The Genetic Opera, and is heavily involved in pre-production for his next film, a remake of the 1981 classic Scanners that will be shooting in Toronto in the coming months.
As if all that isn’t enough, he’s also taking part in preparations for the next Saw film, scheduled to hit theaters in October 2008. He won’t be directing that one, however – three times up to bat is enough. The reigns on Saw V are being handed over to the series’ longtime production designer and second unit director, David Hackl, and how long the gravy train will keep rolling along is anyone’s guess.
During a break at the taping of Spike TV’s Scream Awards at LA’s Greek Theater last Friday, Bousman gave me a call and we talked about how he’s juggling all his various projects and exactly what fans of gore, guts and bloody mayhem should expect from him going forward.
