With filming to begin a mere 12 days from today (!!!), I’m sure there’ll be an increase in news, rumors, and most definitely something we can finally look at!! For now, we’ll have to make do with some of these online findings…
Well, that’s all I’ve got for now… check back later for more!!
AskMen.com, an e-zine type site dedicated to the general male population, has voted Saw babe Shawnee Smith as their Actress of the Week! She should definitely get noticed more, it’s not everyone who can play a psychopathic babe! Head over to the AskMen.com - Shawnee Smith page to read more about her and what the fans think 
It’s been a long time since I’ve last updated this site; lots of stuff going on offline! So let’s catch up on everything, shall we?
Well, he followed through on his promise; “Andrew”, the “insider” If It’s Movies has been in communication with, came in today with his interview of Fanshon Cox, whom he claims will be starring in Saw 4. He goes into a lot more plot details than usual and even suggests that perhaps Tara Reid might be in the movie as well. “Andrew” also says that Jeff’s daughter (from Saw III) will be in it.
You can read the entire article here.
However, as usual, something threw me off; at the end of his report, “Andrew” encourages everyone to visit Thomas Fenton’s website to view Saw IV fan posters… which is exactly what I did yesterday. Further evidence that this guy’s just making stuff up, taking things he finds online? Or maybe I’m “Andrew”? No, I’m definitely not “Andrew” 
It surprises me to know that there are so many people that think this is a real, official Saw 4 teaser poster. Well, it is not. A friend of mine who indirectly does freelance for Lionsgate has told me that Lionsgate still hasn’t released anything in the form of an image for this movie.
So what you’re really looking at is fan art You can find this image and a few more on Saw 4 writer Thomas Fenton’s website by clicking here (he has a page just for fan posters).
Tobin Bell has been working on a movie called Buried Alive which is almost done filming. Today ComingSoon.net reports that it has been bought up by Dimension Films for distribution. No word on when Dimension plans on releasing the movie. Buried Alive, directed by Robert Kurtzman (co-founder of horror fave visual effects shop KNB), focuses on a sorority hazing ritual gone wrong by a vengeful ghost.
I had previously learned about Darren Lynn Bousman’s attempt to bring a play he directed, Repo! The Genetic Opera, to the big screen. ComingSoon is also reporting that it has been greenlit by Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures with a budget of $25 million. Repo! is about a future where human organs begin to fail and a company sells organs to the people like they would a car; if you default on the payment, the organ shuts down!
Lionsgate, the company behind Saw IV, has other major horror movies in the works, and they’ve just announced new release schedules for them. The first to be released will be Bug, starring Ashley Judd and directed by The Exorcist’s William Friedkin. Originally slated for a December ‘06 release, then pushed into relative obscurity, now Bug is scheduled for May 25th, right before the big summer movie kick off.
Lionsgate is also distributing The Eye, a remake of a Japanese horror movie of the same name. This one I’m quite interested in because it’s being produced by Tom Cruise; yes, he has gone crazy, but the one other horror movie he produced, The Others, I thought was great, so I’m hoping he can repeat the success with this one.
The Eye has had a major date push, originally supposed to be released in 2008 but now Lionsgate wants it to join Saw IV with an October release, in fact, just 2 weeks before Saw IV.

He didn’t have any Saw IV news to report but “Andrew” did have Tobin Bell news. He claims that Saw’s twisted mastermind Tobin Bell has been cast in the upcoming sequel Boogeyman 2.
“Andrew” does not divulge in what kind of role Tobin has been cast, but he speculates that if Tobin were to appear in Saw IV, the two movies might cause scheduling conflicts.
Which leads me to ask, how did he get THAT info? If he’s telling the truth about Saw IV (yes, I still have doubts), one could assume he’d be working for Lionsgate. But then how would he know about Boogeyman 2, which is housed at another company? “Andrew” doesn’t go into how he found out other than he “heard” it.
Update: Okay, so I jumped the gun a bit; I was so ready to not believe whatever “Andrew” wrote that I brushed it off as made-up So there are other sources reporting Tobin Bell in Boogeyman 2. So it seems like it was more commentary on “Andrew” behalf than an “inside tip”. Thanks to If It’s Movies‘ Ryan for keeping my head straight.
Aside from the mention that he’s working on a script for SAW IV with partner Marcus Dunstan (both of them co-wrote Feast), there’s not anything in the interview about Saw 4. But for horror movie fans, the interview is still a good read to see what all Patrick has going on, including a remake, a television series, and not one but two Feast sequels.
