After a three-year hiatus, Lionsgate is “actively developing” a new Saw movie. That’s according to Bloody Disgusting‘s sources, who are otherwise tight-lipped on details. Perhaps that’s because Lionsgate is still in the early stages of figuring out their plans. Whether Saw 8 will indeed be another sequel or a fresh franchise reboot are among the details still being considered. […]
