I could not agree more. Tobin crushed it. And if anyone was there during his prep, I as was, watching how meticulously he worked on every beat, for months. he's a special kind of actor.
Can we all agree that, in any other universe, #TobinBell would be a frontrunner for Best Actor at the 2024 Academy Awards? His masterful performance in #SawX is another of many in his truly illustrious career, long overdue for recognition. @sawspace 🪚🧩

Good on Neve. Bad on whoever is holding the purse strings of Scream.
Neve Campbell says she is not returning for ‘SCREAM 6’ because “I felt the offer that was presented to me did not equate to the value I have brought to the franchise.”. “It’s been a very difficult decision to move on. To all my Scream fans, I love you.”

I’m a HUGE fan of old style artist drawn movie #posters. This is the original #Halloween, that I bet you’ve seen it 1000 times. But check out those knuckles on the hand and how the #artist made them look like a SCREAMING FACE. Unbelievable artistry. It’s kind of perfect.

So. our new film, #Spiral : From the Book of Saw might be the most polarizing of the franchise. My Twitter searches go from "This movie sucked" to "This is the best Saw film yet". We are the Cilantro, the Kanye West, the baseball of Saw movies!.

By the way, the drawing will be RANDOM, so if you're favorite films are Saw, Saw II, Saw III, Saw IV, Saw V, Saw VI, or Saw VII (the films I have NOTHING to do with), you will NOT be penalized. But if your favorite Saw film is #SawX, I will follow you. Hahahahaha. BRIBERY WORKS!.

Tons of DMs about whether Jigsaw (aka Saw 8) will be represented in the Saw X film. I want to nip that in the bud and say a definitive "no". We're going a little old school on this one. I would LOVE to one day get back to the Logan and Eleanor storylines, but not just yet.

To be clear, that's a SIGNED circular saw (Shawnee, Tobin and more), AND a signed special edition Blu-Ray (of either Saw prime or Spiral), AND a signed #SawX poster AND two free tickets and drinks (if you live in LA and are of age). Do I need to give you my first born as well?!?.

“One of the most impressive aspects of Saw X is how it's peppered with nuance. Many assumed the movie would be a cash grab by milking a popular franchise in the build-up to Halloween in 2023. But John Kramer goes on his most personal mission in Saw X.”.

It's called Saw X and it's coming out in theaters on September 29th. We've been working on it for over five years! Really looking forward to the world seeing it.
