- Nelson called the opportunity to work with Wan a 'dream come true,' praising the script for blending original franchise mystery with 'insane bloody ideas' and a brutal moral compass.
- Before beginning production, Nelson will release his latest horror feature, Beware Boiña, on October 2, while the Saw series remains the longest-running theatrical horror franchise at ten films strong.
