Remember that "Saw IV" poster that came out last week with all the blood on the dinner plate? That’s not the "Saw IV" poster. That was an invitation to a dinner party where the filmmakers gave their first Saw IV interviews.
At that event, producer Oren Koules clarified the poster confusion.
"It’s funny because a couple of websites this morning said that we put out our first poster," Koules said on June 12. "We’re like, ‘We didn’t put out a poster.’ What it was was someone took the invitation for this and clipped it and said it was the first Saw poster, which it’s not. It was an invitation to come to the mixer tonight."
Rest assured, the real "Saw IV" poster will not leak out so easily. "[Lionsgate marketing exec] Tim Palen keeps it pretty close to the vest. He’ll usually sometime in the next couple weeks, start sending us four or five different ideas and we’ll go for it."
"Saw II" was fingers, "Saw III" was teeth, so the roman numeral IV may actually end up being a medical IV. "I know IV is one of them that he’s playing with."
"Saw IV" hits theaters October 27.
