Audiences, money to be 'Saw'-ed apart from one another for the fourth time.

Forget that each film in the series sucked more than the last one, not to mention the fact that the both of the series' villains died at the very end of part III - Lionsgate plans to go ahead with "Saw IV." The assembly-line horror saga has made scads of green - more than a quarter of a BILLION world wide! - so this really isn't a shocker.

All that remains is to decide who will take on the guise of the Machiavelian maestro of death, the Jigsaw Killer, since Tobin Bell finally got whacked. I wouldn't be surprised if Angus Macfadyen will be the filmmakers' choice since he is the only survivor of the last film, and he seems to have the most motivation to set up a series of horrible boobie traps.

Darren Lynn Bousman, director of Saw 2 and 3 has been tapped to direct the newest installment, despite the fact that he had originally stated he would not be returning to the series. Odds are they will start shooting sometime in mid-to-late September with a release date scheduled no less than a month away.


Bousman: Look, I know you always dreamed of being a serious actor and all, but could you please just jump into that vat of rotten pig guts? Hey, at least you're not making porno...well, sorta."
