He slices. He dices. And despite seemingly ending up on the slab in his latest horror show, Jigsaw's coming back for more.
Fresh off the success of "Saw III," which opened to a scary good $33.6 million in ticket sales over the outing, Lionsgate Films has given the go-ahead for a fourth installment of the gorefest for release next Halloween.
Talk about your no-brainer.
The studio made it official on Tuesday, the day after final box-office tallies revealed "Saw III" posted the biggest debut yet for the franchise, which began with 2004's "Saw," which starred Carey Elwes, Danny Glover and Tobin Bell. The latter plays the series' sick-in-the-head star, Jigsaw, a serial killer who metes out justice to his morally vacuous victims by laying intricate traps that force them to do all his horrifying handiwork for him.
No word on the plot of the fourth installment, though it's expected the series' psycho killer will return for more tortuous fun and games.
