Chris Rock is set to reboot the $1bn Saw franchise with “a really intense and twisted” new film.
The Saw franchise began in 2004 and in the following 13 years, made over $1bn at the global box office.
“I’ve been a fan of Saw since the first film in 2004,” said Rock.
“This upcoming film will still be as mind-bending and intense as all the previous Saw films,” the Lionsgate motion picture group chairman, Joe Drake, said in a statement.
