GoKawiilMike P. Nelson tapped to direct next Saw film
Director Mike P. Nelson, whose creature feature 'Beware Boiúna' is due in theaters soon, has been hired to direct the next installment of the Saw horror franchise. The film continues the long-running series known for its puzzle-trap kills and twist endings.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Handing the franchise to a director with a genre-film background rather than a returning series veteran suggests the studio may be looking to bring a fresh visual or tonal approach to the long-running series. Saw's continued output shows horror studios still see reliable box-office returns in established franchise IP.
- Mike P. Nelson will direct the next Saw movie
- He is also releasing 'Beware Boiúna' soon
- The choice signals a new creative voice for the franchise
