There are no guarantees of quality in this life, but if you want a director who takes the whole of the Saw franchise seriously, you got one. Nobody's been more involved with the Saw franchise than he has, and by now he knows what makes these movies tick better than anybody else-as the editor on eight of the nine movies he'd have to. This time it's Kevin Greutert, who directed Saw VI (a fan favorite) and The Final Chapter and has edited every Saw movie except Spiral. To that end, Saw X is bringing back another series veteran to direct. But Spiral apparently didn't perform well enough to get a Spiral 2 going, and instead we're getting something else that will apparently try a new path for keeping this franchise going. Spiral: From the Book of Saw brought back Darren Lynn Bousman, director of Saw II, III, and IV, in its attempt to take the series back to its roots with Chris Rock and Samuel L Jackson without really worrying about the past plot. But it's more likely that we won't get our first real look at Saw X until much closer to its release date. Not yet, but they've completed filming and so a trailer could drop tomorrow. Saw X is currently scheduled for release on October 27, 2023, just in time for Halloween this year. The two attempts to reboot the series after Saw: The Final Chapter didn't quite manage to tap into what made the franchise interesting, sadly, but Saw X has the potential to bring everything back together. These movies are just too cheap to make and too strangely compelling to let go.
