First Casting News for 'Saw III'

After the huge success of Saw II, it was announced a few months back that Darren Lynn Bousman will return to direct Lionsgate's Saw III. The movie is looking to hit theaters this coming October, which leaves director Darren Lynn Bousman less than 6 months to film and edit together the third entry of this trilogy of terror!

It was also revealed that co-creator Leigh Whannell will be returning to script the film for the third time. Angus Macfadyen (EQUILIBRIUM) and smokin' beauty Bahar Soomekh (M:I:III) will both have roles in the film, though who specifically they'll be playing is still unknown. Sweet!

But what about the plot? Bousman tells BD "It's the most fucked up of Jigsaw's games... and the most psychologically intense." Sounds like a good time to me! The new cast joins SAW veterans Tobin Bell and Shawnee Smith, who are up to their old tricks of terror macabre. But in a good way, ya know?

Saw III begins shooting May 8th in Toronto. More news as it comes in...
