Chris Rock is set to reboot the $1bn Saw franchise with “a really intense and twisted” new film.
The comedian approached studio Lionsgate with a new concept which will be both a re-imagining and a spinning off for the series, based around Jigsaw, the killer who sets elaborate traps for his victims.
“I’ve been a fan of Saw since the first film in 2004,” said Rock. “I am excited by the opportunity to take this to a really intense and twisted new place.”
