If you didn’t know, Saw 11 was scrapped, and Blumhouse, the studio behind The Purge and the Halloween reboots, purchased the rights to the Saw franchise from Twisted Pictures.

“And I’m grateful to them for allowing us to continue. My creative outlook is what I always preach: Get the people who made the magic in the first place more involved. James Wan [the original director] will be hugely involved. That’s how we’re going to reinvent it,” he teased.
