We've reached that point in the series when the popular SAW roman numerals have been dropped because of public confusion. Isn't that a sign that the series may be ready to end? Although the studio has already flat out stated this will be the final chapter of the vulnerable horror franchise today we hear otherwise and it's from a reputable source...

Follow up:

According to actress Betsy Russell (who plays Jigsaw's ex-wife Jill) she just revealed to NY Post that filmmakers are not ready to end the franchise.

"Before we thought it was ending [with 'Saw 7 in 3D'], the writers came up with an unbelievable idea [for 'Saw 8']," she said. "It's an amazing story that I would love to see."

Although Russel was very coy with here response on the eighth film she did state that if the seventh film does well the studio will immediately greenlight another installment.

She told the NY Post: "We want to end near the top, with our integrity in tact and not letting the characters die a slow death, so to speak. But I believe in my heart that someday, somehow, ['Saw 8'] will happen."

There you go Jigsaw fans! What to make of this news? Might we see SAW 8 possibly in 4D? It's laughable but at this point anything can and may very well happen. Stay tuned as we try to see if the SAW franchise really does hang on for life support.
