Why can’t y’all let Chris do something different and see if he fails before panning him?

I haven’t watched a saw film since 3, but I’d be interested in his spin on it :ehh:
We complain about status quo in Hollywood but as soon as someone steps out of their lane, we complain about that too.

It's what we do :qpsmug:

Samuel L. Jackson has joined Chris Rock in Lionsgate’s upcoming “Saw” reboot.

Production has officially begun on the film, in which Rock will play a police detective investigating a series of grizzly crimes. Jackson will portray Rock’s father. Max Minghella, who stars in Hulu’s “The Handmaid’s Tale” and recently directed “Teen Spirit,” also joins the cast as the partner of Rock’s character. “Riverdale” actress Marisol Nichols will play a police captain.

Lionsgate is keeping details of the plot under wraps other than saying it will offer deviously treacherous traps, clever clues and the edge-of-the-seat suspense that fans expect.



“We think Samuel L. Jackson and Chris Rock along with Max Minghella and Marisol Nichols make this film completely special in the ‘Saw’ canon and we can’t wait to unleash this unexpected and sinister new story on fans of this franchise. This is next level of ‘Saw’ on full tilt,” said Joe Drake, chairman of the Lionsgate Motion Picture Group.

Longtime “Saw” filmmakers Mark Burg and Oren Koules returned to produce “Saw.” Darren Lynn Bousman, who helmed the second, third and fourth “Saw” movies, is directing the new movie. The decision to revisit the series was inspired by Rock’s love of the franchise.

The franchise revolves around the fictional character John Kramer, also called the Jigsaw Killer, who traps victims in situations that test their will to live. Tobin Bell has portrayed Jigsaw in all eight films. The low-cost titles have been highly profitable for Lionsgate, grossing nearly $1 billion worldwide. The most recent movie was 2017’s “Jigsaw,” which earned $100 million worldwide.

The upcoming “Saw” will be released on Oct. 23, 2020.

chasing that Jordan Peele black horror money
This,

we bout to see hollywood learn the complete wrong lesson from his success and push out a bunch of shytty black horror movies.

The lesson they should have learned is the there are excellant black film makers out there who need a platform and can make quality.
Instead of looking for the next Jordan Peele they just gonna copy Jordan Peele. :unimpressed:

Never really held the "Saw" franchise in high regard so :manny: maybe he'll improve upon it.

And as it's been pointed out Chris Rock is playing a major character in season 4 of "Fargo". I think he's trying to cross over into more serious stuff.

No. Granted I'm not up on all his latest projects but I don't see anything on his resume anything like "Fargo" or "Saw".
