A new installment of the horror franchise “Saw” is in development, with Mike P. Nelson set to direct. The film is backed by Lionsgate and Blumhouse Atomic Monster, and counts James Wan as a producer.
Both outlets describe the project as the next “Saw” movie as the long-running franchise returns to its creator’s orbit, with Wan producing through Blumhouse Atomic Monster while Lionsgate handles the project. Deadline adds that Nelson is known for Lionsgate’s upcoming horror title “Beware Boiúna,” and notes that the new “Saw” film is written by Gregory Weidman and Geoff Tock.
The coverage largely aligns on the same core details—director, production companies, and Wan’s producing role—while differing mainly in emphasis. The Hollywood Reporter leads with the announcement of Nelson directing, while Deadline provides additional context about Nelson’s other upcoming work and the credited screenwriters.
