JoBlo’s snagged a piece of scoopage regarding Saw 3, which begins production on May 1st in preparation for an October release date. Saw 2 director Darren Lynn Bousman will be returning, as will actors Tobin Bell, Shawnee Smith, and Donnie Wahlberg — and I better hear some Dina Meyer news real soon!
From JB’s: "Shooting on SAW III will begin on May 1st in Toronto for a release this October. As such, casting is currently underway for the film, which will return Tobin Bell and Shawnee Smith to the roles of Jigsaw and Amanda respectively. Two of our new victims are Lynn and Jeff one of whom runs quickly afoul of Jigsaw. Lynn is a married mother in her late 30s who is kidnapped by Jigsaw. As you might expect all is not sunny on Lynn’s front who’s got some dark secrets she’s keeping from her family. Then there’s Jeff, a dad who has never recovered fully after his son died. It was an accident but he’s never been able to forgive himself. How he fits into the SAW legacy is being kept a mystery. Producers are looking for name actors for both of the roles, which should be cast in the next week or so…"
