Lionsgate is playing games again. The studio announced today it has set an Oct. 27, 2017 release date for its new entry in its record-breaking SAW franchise. Cameras roll Sept. 12 – Oct. 21 in Toronto with brother directing team Michael and Peter Spierig (Daybreakers) at the helm.
Named the Most Successful Horror Movie Series of all time by Guinness World Records in 2010, SAW spawned six sequels and earned more than $800 million worldwide. The film launched director James Wan’s career and gave horror one of its most memorable villains in Tobin Bell’s John “Jigsaw” Kramer.
No word on what exactly the new SAW film will have in store for us, but writing duties have gone to Piranha 3D and Sorority Row scribes Pete Goldfinger and Josh Stolberg.

Warner Bros. and MGM have set a March 16, 2018 theatrical release date for director Roar Uthaug’s Tomb Raider reboot, starring Alicia Vikander as iconic video game treasure hunter Lara Croft. This is fabulous news as I’m getting my hair washed on March 15, 2018 and would have missed the premiere!
Based on Square Enix’s 2013 reboot of the Tomb Raider video game, the new adaptation finds Vikander as a young and inexperienced, small-breasted Croft on her first big adventure. The Croft role was famously played by Angelina Jolie for Paramount in 2001’s Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and 2003’s Cradle of Life sequel.
Vikander won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar this year for her role in The Danish Girl, but was actually seen by movie audiences in the sexy A.I. thriller Ex Machina. She also co-starred in the awesome, but overlooked, Man From U.N.C.L.E. remake andwill next be seen in this summer’s Jason Bourne.
Kiefer Sutherland is set to star in Sony Pictures’ remake of director Joel Schumacher’s Flatliners, a 1990 sci-fi thriller about med-school students conducting near-death experiments to see what lies in the afterlife. Sutherland, who starred in the original, will play a seasoned doctor in the redo reports Deadline.
Niels Arden Oplevscribe (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, 2009) is at the helm, working off a script by Ben Ripley(The Source Code). Joining Sutherland are Ellen Page (Juno), Diego Luna (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story), James Norton (Rush), Kiersey Clemens (Neighbors 2), and Nina Dobrev (“Vampire Diaries”).
Despite its intriguing premise, Flatliners remains most notable for its impressive cast of then rising stars, including Sutherland, Julia Roberts, Kevin Bacon, William Baldwin and Oliver Platt. Produced for $26 million, the film grossed over $61 million domestically during its theatrical run.
Starz has released a trailer for season two of “Ash vs Evil Dead,” its hit small screen adaptation of Sam Raimi’s The Evil Dead. The show is produced by Raimi, Rob Tapert, and Bruce Campbell, reprising his role as beloved antihero Ashley J. Williams.

Bond girl and “Narcos” actress Stephanie Sigman is starring in Annabelle 2, a James Wan produced sequel to the original Conjuring spinoff that saw the demonically possessed doll wreck havoc on a young family in 1969 Los Angeles.
Sigman plays Sister Charlotte in the film, an orphanage nun who takes refuge with her girls at a doll maker’s home when her facility is shut down. Things go from bad to worse when she and the orphans catch Annabelle’s attention.
Sigman first caught Hollywood’s eye in the Mexican crime thriller Miss Bala, in which she played an abducted beauty pageant contestant used as a mule by drug runners. A recurring role on the regrettably short-lived FX series “The Bridge” followed and led to Netflix’s Pablo Escobar drama “Narcos.”
Annabelle 2 marks the Mexican stunner’s second major movie release, having appeared as the first Mexican Bond girl in last year’s Spectre.
