Saw VII em 3D?

The writers and producer take the series to a new dimension.


October 14, 2009 - IGN had the chance to sit down with the producer, director and writers of the upcoming Saw VI to discuss the future of the franchise, and while all involved were fairly mum on the plot of the newest film and where it might go in the next installment, they did talk about the decision to film Saw VII in 3-D.

"Saw, just by the way it's shot, lends itself to being a 3-D movie," said producer Mark Berg. "We saw a test that somebody did, a minute of Saw transferred from 2-D to 3-D and it looked great. We're not going to transfer VII, but we'll actually shoot it in 3-D. We want to be able to build the sets in a way that takes advantage of depth. We're going to design traps to come out at you. The pendulum trap that opened the last movie would have been great in 3-D. There's a lot of the movie we're planning through the victims eyes, seeing stuff as it comes toward them. But I think the audience wants those moments where the weapon comes into the audience."

Co-writer Marcus Dunstan seemed enthusiastic about the jump to 3-D. "It adds a whole new layer of discipline and criteria to creating these moments. We've had a very flat surface to try to get a reaction out of you. Now, we get to push out a bit and envelop the viewer, still maintaining the patterns that have worked and been successful, but also to raise it up a notch."

"When you say you're doing 3-D, everybody thinks you have to go out and show the widest vistas and the most majestic landscapes," added co-writer Patrick Melton. "But in a way, when we go to 3-D on the Saw films, it's like an anti-3-D movie. We're now in a box, and it's going to make the house of horrors come to life even more. Now we have a lead character and you're going to be inside this place with him and when things come out at him, they'll also come out at you."

As far as where the series might go from there, don't expect to get much from Berg. "We have the story threaded through Saw VIII. Where it goes beyond that, I couldn't tell you."
