Tobin Bell Returning For Saw X

Tobin Bell is gearing back up as Jigsaw for the tenth movie in the Saw franchise. Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures announced on Monday that Bell will return to the franchise as John Kramer, aka Jigsaw, in the new Saw film that is set to go into production later this month.

Bell has played the role in every film in the franchise with the exception of Spiral: From the Book of Saw, even though his character died in Saw III. Since then, he has appeared in flashback sequences that further fleshed out the series’ mythology.

Kevin Greutert (Saw VI, Saw: The Final Chapter) is back to direct the film, which was written by Jigsaw and Spiral: From the Book of Saw scripters Pete Goldfinger and Josh Stolberg.

Saw franchise producers Mark Burg and Oren Koules said, “What a thrill to be reuniting with Tobin. His performance as John Kramer is part of the magic that made this franchise a phenomenon and his character is an active part of this film.”

Plot details have yet to be revealed.
