Dunstan: We are, already well underway intoSaw 7.
I think we’re doing that now.
How are these people going to get out?"

This is much more serialized, with these questions that continue on.
Hoffman is someone that we introduced inSaw 5, with a very different philosophy from Kramer.
I think that’s just how the series has evolved.
It started in a tiny little room, and we just heard about this guy.
I think that’s where it will naturally lead.
Is the budget still staying at about $10 million?

The first film was $1 million.
The second film was $4 million and change.
Any plans to go 3-D, in the future?

Will that still stay within the same budget?
3-D costs more money.
It’s a longer prep, a longer shoot, a longer post, more expensive cameras.

It costs more to shoot and it costs more to market ‘cause you have to buy the glasses.
It’s an extra $2 million in marketing, just because you have to buy the glasses.
But, it’s worth it.
I thinkSawitself, just the way the films are shot, lends itself to being a 3-D movie.
So, we were like, “All right, screw it.
Let’s do it!”
But, we’re not going to transfer it.
We’re going to design traps to come at you.
Burg: We’re definitely makingSaw 7.
We’re starting in January, and it’s going to be in 3-D.
The storyline that we started inSaw 5and carry throughSaw 6, ends atSaw 8.
Where it goes beyond that, I couldn’t tell you.
In my mind and in Oren’s mind, we have the story threaded throughSaw 8.
After that, I can’t tell you that the franchise will continue.
Dunstan: That helps when writing, though.
Burg:Saw 6has a great twist.
You’re going to look at the film and be like, “Fuck, they got me again!
How did I not see this coming?”
