21 Years Later, An Iconic Horror Franchise Is Back Where It Belongs

Lionsgate

More often than not, a young filmmaker who manages to reach superstardom got their start in small-budget horror. Before Peter Jackson made The Lord of the Rings, he made the sci-fi horror movie Bad Taste. Before his Spider-Man trilogy, Sam Raimi made Evil Dead. And before Aquaman, James Wan made Saw. And now that Wan has become a pillar of Hollywood horror, Saw is returning to his bloody bosom.

Ever since the first Saw movie was released back in 2004, the franchise has been produced by Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures. But Deadline reports that Blumhouse, which recently merged with James Wan’s company Atomic Monster, is acquiring Twisted Pictures’ half of the rights to the Saw franchise.
