Production
Development
Saw V is being written by Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan,[4] and the film went into production after Christmas 2007.[5] Filming has begun on March 17 in Toronto.[1]
Rumors
The plot details have not yet been revealed, although in an interview with IGN, Patrick Melton revealed that Saw V will explain what happened to Corbett, the daughter of Lynn Denlon and Jeff Reinhart, following the conclusion of Saw III that left her in danger.[6] An interview with Tobin Bell revealed that the origins of Billy the puppet and his red tricycle would be further explained after having the story's roots planted in Saw IV.[7] Also, in an interview on June 13, 2007, Tobin Bell teased that he would not be surprised if the character of Cecil made a reappearance, and that the pieces of flesh taken from the victims in the form of a jigsaw puzzle might be explained.[8]
According to director David Hackl, one trap can potentially kill the actor meant to be placed in it, and so paramedics will be standing by while filming; Hackl joked that the trap would truly test the actor, just like Jigsaw tests his victims.[9]
In the Saw IV DVD commentary, Darren Lynn Bousman stated that the glass box trap,[10] which was originally planned to be used in Saw IV, will be further explored in Saw V.[11] The glass trap was only shown, not used, in the final cut of Saw IV.
