 What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overload here. We're gonna be talking about saw 11 in this video here again today We're gonna be talking about the Speculation correlation I'm starting to see arise because of James wands recent comments about returning to the horror genre and the timing of When saw 11 was announced and Association with this production weekly listing that has a very specific pair of names or set a name that I just completely Overlooked when talking about the listing in my previous post But James one recently had this to say when speaking with Collider about returning to horror potentially Saying you know, I have a tendency to want to go back and forth So whenever I make a smaller film, I want to go and make a big film whenever I'm doing a big one I'm like, oh, I want to go and do a smaller film and when I do my smaller films It tends to be a horror film. So, you know, I feel like the itch for horror is potentially calling, but we'll see Recently we know this week saw 11 was announced and so was its release date of next year September 27 2024 Josh Stolberg and Pete will not be returning to write and we haven't heard who will be officially writing saw 11 just yet Stolberg double down double down on his post He had made five days ago with a new post going over to departure on Twitter after the announcement came Saying got a slew of DMs today about the Lionsgate saw announcement Pete and I are sitting this chapter out very excited to see this one as a fan of the franchise I think people will be pleased with the team. This is spark speculation though, which could end up being something But I think it's nothing Speculation about one directing saw 11 James Juan directing saw 11 would be fantastic to me But I don't think it's happening James Juan directing and I would guess you would expect Lee 1L to be back With the screenplay so you have that band back together both both of which. I just don't see happening Production weeklies listing is driving the speculation because it does have atomic monster attached as a production company working on saw 11 But reliable reddit user vink 360 they remind us of this occurring in the past with saw X as well in Response to a user who shared this production weekly listing on Reddit vink says before people freak out here's some context This is a production list from production weekly not something released by Lionsgate or Twisted The list is built by a third party and they just list his production company because he's attached to the project as an executive producer The same thing happened with saw X atomic monster was also listed on that one now Correct me if I'm wrong, but atomic monster ended up having no credit at the start of saw X I don't recall seeing that production company ever at the start of saw X in other words He says don't read into this as anything unusual. So saw 11 is also listed to be in Toronto So we'll wait and see how true that is I did say in my last video that vink was also the user who had dropped who had who had the drop on saw X Being John Kramer centric and being set between 1 and 3 so they have a reputation over there with their credibility They had also shared that a TV show was allegedly being worked on with a writer's room being formed with Josh and Pete Gone the only three writers I can safe safely predict for now though in terms of what I can see happening with saw 11 Would be Kevin Gruder Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan James Wands involvement as of now seems to just be more of the same an executive producer role As for Stolberg's comments about people being pleased with the team I mean who is responsible for saw six which seems to be one of the most beloved entries Patrick Marcus and Kevin and again if I'm wrong on that correct me, but I believe those three were the ones responsible Patrick and Marcus Wrote Kevin directed. This is also what happened Why people were so excited about him directing saw X because of the the love that saw six has so are they the team That's getting back together not James Wan and Lee Winnell But the saw six creative team with Kevin Patrick and Marcus time will tell I'm pretty sure pretty sure and confident That it will be them if it's newcomers and it's just newcomers if it's James Wan then is James Wan But the timing of it all is reasonable to see why some people think it is going to be James Wan I don't think it is because I do also want to again highlight He was talking about a potential return to the friend or to the genre if it was actually a hundred percent going to be Saw 11 unless there was something something preventing him from being able to talk about it I think he would have brought up saw 11. I sincerely think he would have brought it up I think what we're going to start seeing over the course of these months leading up to the release We'll get the confirmation that the creative team from saw six is back We'll get the confirmation. Obviously that one-third of them Kevin Grewdard is back directing and we'll get the confirmation of Shani Smith, Tobin Bell, you know the whole the whole shebang of what it would take to get everybody back in the seats for saw 11 after the success that was saw X and I think it's just going to be the creative team of Saw six back that they're going to use to hype it up also Correlating with the 20th anniversary of the original film I don't think James Wan is directing but if he is that would be fantastic some of you I'm I would imagine don't even want James Wan back So if you don't want James Wan back directing, let me know why or why not down in the comment section below Would you rather have him back or would you rather have the creative team behind saw six back together once again for saw 11?
