Mark Burg and Oren Koules, who produced the original franchise, will again serve as producers, with Darren Lynn Bousman, behind Saw II, Saw III, and Saw IV, on board as director.
Chris Rock will spearhead a new Saw film.
“Chris wants to put his own spin on the Saw franchise in the way Eddie Murphy put a completely fresh perspective on buddy-cop films with 48 Hours,” said Burg and Koules.
The screenplay is based on a story conceived by Rock, but will be written by Pete Goldfinger and Josh Stolberg.
