Oh, and I thought the Saw franchise was confirmed for at LEAST 7 movies.. that's what I heard awhile back.

I am still holding out hope for this remake. The TCM remake was terrible, but there is something about this that gives me hope and F13 is by far my favorite of the 80s slasher films. It can't be worse than F13:8 or Jason X.

^ I completely agree with you. TCM, while good upon first viewing, lost A LOT of it's luster and welcome with repeat viewings. Now I find it practically unwatchable. I'm a rabid fan of F13th, have been for over 15 years, but I agree that the quality of the films has decreased as the series went on. I've got friends in the horror community and they've done set visits, seen footage and know the actors in the film. They all assure me that this movie will kick serious ass back into the franchise. It has a definitive ending, but could leave the door open for sequels (I hope).

My best is guess is Saw is a whatever-movie-first-loses-money franchise. And maybe even a few direct to DVD after that.

Bloody-Disgusting is reporting that Pamela Voorhees and young Jason have both been cut from the film. Since this was confirmed during a test screening there's still a chance they may end up back in the film.
