Back in 2014, producer Oren Kroules teased that original Saw creators James Wan and Leigh Whannell could be involved in some capacity, but that hasn’t been confirmed.
All seven films in the Saw franchise have grossed $415.9 million domestically and $873.3 million worldwide.
We reported in 2013 that an eighth installment of the Saw franchise, entitled Saw Legacy was moving forward, and earlier this year, writers Josh Stolberg and Peter Goldfinger came aboard to write the script.
Oren Kroules teased two years ago that they were getting “close” with Saw 8, but he predicted that the sequel probably wouldn’t be announced until Comic-Con 2016.
