Development
Saw 3D was intended to be the final film in the Saw franchise,[5] with the film being split into two parts. However, Lionsgate Films only allowed the filmmakers to make one more film after Saw VI under-performed at the box office. According to Saw 3D writers Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton, because of the change, "the big reveal of Dr. Gordon was a bit underserved ... Perhaps creating more questions than answers. There were several ideas we never quite figured out. But I don’t want to say what they were, because you never know what might happen in the future."[6]
In February 2016, it was reported that Josh Stolberg and Pete Goldfinger will write the script.[3] In July 2016, it became known that Michael and Peter Spierig will direct the film.[1][7] Composer Charlie Clouser described Legacy as a "reinvention" of the Saw franchise, opining "the Spierig brothers can deliver a fresh take on the material that will establish a new story line and new characters that can carry the saga into the future."[8]
Filming
In October 2016, production was confirmed to have commenced on Saw: Legacy.[9]
Music
Charlie Clouser, who provided the score for all previous entries in the Saw series, will return to score Saw: Legacy. Clouser will reimagine the music of the Saw franchise, following the six year hiatus between Saw 3D and Saw: Legacy. According to Clouser, "this will be an opportunity for me to re-imagine how I approach the score, and I’ll be trying a more stark, bold, and stripped-down approach that will be more in line with the strong vision that the Spierig brothers are bringing to the table."[8]
