Saw Sequel Seen
Horror sequel set for next Halloween.
November 02, 2004 - Lions Gate Films has given the go-ahead for a sequel to the disturbing thriller Saw. The film, which is tells the bloody tale of a twisted psychopath's murderous cat and mouse games, opened in third place this weekend with $18.3 million.
The studio announced today that the sequel is tentatively set for a Halloween 2005 release.
Tom Ortenberg, President of Lions Gate Films says, "We were confident going into this weekend as the only new horror release that we would hit our target audience of genre fans, but this has exceeded all our expectations. With Saw, James Wan and Leigh Whannell have tapped into filmgoers' most base fears and have created something that people immediately feel they need to talk about with others, and see again to catch clues they may have missed the first time."
"We are thrilled about the strong opening weekend of Saw. Lions Gate's marketing and distribution team has done a phenomenal job and we're very excited to be partnering with them again on Saw 2," say producers Burg, Koules and Hoffman.
Saw, directed by 27-year-old James Wan and written by 27-year-old co-star Leigh Whannell, stars Cary Elwes, Danny Glover, Monica Potter, Dina Meyer, Ken Leung and Leigh Whannell.

I really like how the first one ended, and left things un-said. IMO, Saw is a movie that has a really nice ending in that it leaves the uncertainty out there regarding the Saw killer, and even the doctor that was crawling away, who I assume was killed anyway.
I really don't think Saw is a good movie to make a sequel for, if in fact it is a true sequel, in that it picks up right where the first left off.. If that is what the creators are doing with Saw 2, I don't think it will be good. However, if they instead implement a few characters from the first Saw into a sequel which involves a plot and situation un-related to the events in the first, then I think it could be a good sequel.
Generally though, Saw is a movie that didn't need a sequel to be made IMO, as I think it ended very well and almost did as much as it could with the material and time provided.
