"Saw" Maker Gets a "Death Sentence"
Original "Saw" director James Wan has signed on for Fox's "Death Sentence," a revenge thriller from the author of the original "Death Wish" novel.
Says The Hollywood Reporter: "Penned by Ian Jeffers, the story centers on a father out for revenge after his family is attacked in a senseless and heinous gang-initiation crime. The father enacts a death sentence on each perpetrator involved with the crime. Hyde Park will fully finance and produce "Death Sentence," based on Brian Garfield's novel. Garfield also wrote the novel "Death Wish," which spawned the vigilante franchise starring Charles Bronson."

James Wan's "Saw" follow-up, "Silence," is presently in post-production. That film stars Ryan Kwanten, Laura Regan, Donnie Wahlberg, and Amber Valletta.

on May 05 2006 01:26 PM Aww, crap! James Wan's gonna RUIN this! Just like "Saw".... "Saw" had so much potential, had it not been ruined by James Wan's direction and Leigh Whannell's writing. (Reply to this) |
on May 07 2006 03:54 AM Saw had no potential...its a concept done to death already, way before its initial release. (Reply to this) |
