Julie Benz To Star In Saw V
Yes, there's going to be a Saw V

Julie Benz To Star In Saw V
Julie Benz (Angel, Rambo) has signed to star in Saw V. The fifth film in the franchise that won't quit is being directed by David Hackl. Hackl's claim to fame so far? He was the production designer on the second, third and fourth films.

Saw V went into production last week and is released on October 24. If you don't want there to be a Saw VI, then please spend that day using something shiny to distract people who look they might be heading to see it. Then it might not make money.

In other news that's neither here nor there, this weekend Step Up 2: The Streets became the most successful dance film in UK history, beating both that one with Julia Stiles and Bruce Forsyth In Plenty O' Ballroom.

RE: Julie Benz to star in Saw V
A critics job is to give there opinion, so to ask them to be objective is to ask them to go outside the realm of there job description, so I hardly think that is the problem. If someone says something you don't agree with, then you can argue back, but then you aren't being objective, which makes you a hypocrite. Oh and by the way, a cocker spaniel could tell that the idea of a 5th instalment in a franchise that is continuing to exist only by finding new ways to quicken the response of people'... Read More

L: UTB Nice too see some objectivity from Olly Richards. the constant tirade from board members and now empire staff against the Saw films is becoming very tiresome. Accept the fact that a lot of people (goth or otherwise) enjoy the Saw films. Change the record. ndeed. If Empire can rave incessantly about whatever mediocre comic-book film is coming up next, the least they could do is show some enthusiasm about a franchise which is pretty good compared to a lo... Read More

RE: Saw V Is More Chav Than Goth
Saw 1 is brilliant. the rest are guilty pleasures of mine. Not that i could watch them all day long (because i couldnt stomach it) and i know they are contrived pieces of shiyte, but i still get some form of cheap thrills (straight jacket needed) from them. besides, if someone can say they enjoyed date and epic movie, then i see no problem watching another piece of turd at the cinema. she looks pretty fit too. ... Read More
