PARK CITY, UTAH Jan. 30 (UPI) -- James Wan announced plans to direct a new Saw film that Leigh Whannell will write at the Sundance Film Festival on Thursday. Wan and Whannell spoke at a legacy screening of the original Saw.
Saw premiered at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival. The duo recalled pacing the lobby of the theater nervously during the first screening.
Lionsgate released the film in October of 2004, and nine subsequent sequels. Wan said he hopes to bring the franchise back to the original.
"All I can say at this point is we're going to do one," Wan said. "We are going to make one. I don't want to say too much. It's very early still."
Saw introduced the Jigsaw killer. Jigsaw would put victims in traps that they could survive, if they made a gruesome sacrifice.
