Saw: Legacy is an upcoming American horror film directed by Michael and Peter Spierig, and written by Josh Stolberg and Pete Goldfinger. It is the eighth installment in the Saw franchise.
Saw 3D was intended to be the final film in the Saw franchise, with the film being split into two parts. However, Lionsgate Films only allowed the filmmakers to make one more film after Saw VI under-performed at the box office. According to Saw 3D writers Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton, because of the change, "the big reveal of Dr. Gordon
was a bit underserved ... Perhaps creating more questions than answers.
There were several ideas we never quite figured out. But I don’t want
to say what they were, because you never know what might happen in the
future."
In February 2016, it was reported that Josh Stolberg and Pete Goldfinger will write the script. In July 2016, it became known that Michael and Peter Spierig will direct the film. Composer Charlie Clouser described Legacy as a "reinvention" of the Saw
franchise, opining "the Spierig brothers can deliver a fresh take on
the material that will establish a new story line and new characters
that can carry the saga into the future."
