“Rated R for sequences of grizzly bloody violence and torture, and language.”
Yep, that’s our badge of honor, courtesy of the MPAA! As I mentioned on the now-restored House of Jigsaw (just what the heck was that hiatus all about?), we got the R without ruining the movie, and it’s a huge relief. Saw VI is chugging forward mightily, and hopefully the edit will be locked by the end of the week. My bosses are coming to town tonight to begin their cut (in other words, THE cut), then it’s onward to sound design, scoring, VFX, marketing, and beyond.
I wish I could tell you the status of marketing right now, but I just don’t know what’s up. I’m pushing really hard for us to have a presence at Comic-Con, but it hasn’t been decided. I would LOVE to get out of freezing Toronto this July, and show you some of the movie in San Diego, so cross your fingers and talk to a Lionsgate representative near you.
