Directed by Darren Lynn Bousman, starring Chris Rock, Max Minghella, Marisol Nichols, and Samuel L. Jackson, Spiral: From the Book of Saw is duein theaters on May 21, 2021.
Many eyebrows were raised when it was announced that comedian Chris Rock would be joining the gory slasher-thriller franchise Saw in spinoff film Spiral: From the Book of Saw.
In an interview, the director of the movie, Darren Lynn Bousman, explained how Chris Rock was instrumental in getting him back to make a Saw movie after he famously announced he was done with the franchise following a mixed reception to Saw 4.
While Spiral takes place in the same reality as the Jigsaw killer, the upcoming movie is not a direct sequel.
