A new poster and TV spot for Lionsgate’s “Spiral : From the Book of Saw” has been released ahead of the film’s May 14 theatrical bow.
ComicBook.com, who premiered the goods, also got some choice quotes from director Darren Lynn Bousman on the film.
“It has been well over a decade since my last dance with Saw but watching the reactions, and comments brings me back like it was yesterday,” Bousman shared with the site about the excitement regarding the new film. “Never in a million years did I think I would be back, let alone with the cast we have assembled. Setting foot back in Toronto and back in the Saw universe was so emotional for me. I’m home.”
“The DNA of the movie comes from the universe of Saw, no doubt, but it’s its own thing,” Bousman confirmed. “I love the world and script that Josh [Stolberg], Pete [Goldfinger], and Chris Rock created here. It feels familiar, yet it’s completely unique and different from what has come before it. I think this movie honors the mythology of the past films, yet charts course for something entirely different. Longtime fans will still get the things they crave; macabre traps, unexpected twists, (and even a puppet), but Chris, Max, Samuel, and Marisol [Nichols] elevate this into something truly unique and special.”
A criminal mastermind unleashes a twisted form of justice in Spiral, the terrifying new chapter from the book of Saw. Working in the shadow of his father, an esteemed police veteran (Samuel L. Jackson), brash Detective Ezekiel “Zeke” Banks (Rock) and his rookie partner (Max Minghella) take charge of a grisly investigation into murders that are eerily reminiscent of the city’s gruesome past. Unwittingly entrapped in a deepening mystery, Zeke finds himself at the center of the killer’s morbid game.
