Tobin Bell Previews Saw V Surprises
by Fred Topel | November 30, 2007
Discuss Article

Saw IV continues to answer questions about Jigsaw, even though Jigsaw himself is dead. It turns out one movie is not enough to tie up all the remaining loose ends, so actor Tobin Bell is still looking ahead to what Saw V and VI might reveal about Saw staples like Billy the puppet and the tricycle he rides.

"I can tell you that the tricycle that has appeared in all four Saw films has a very simple and human explanation to it which I hope that in V and VI we will both understand and have a window into," said Bell. "The origins of Billy, the meaning of that, I think you will see when you see IV that we've started to enter into that area. I think there is some marvelous storyline yet to be told."

Some skeptics might say, "Come on, you're going to explain the doll now? Do you have to explain everything?" Well, Saw fans want to know. "I think those two objects are simple things and everyone kind of has seen Billy since the beginning. Well, what is that? And why? Although perhaps you don't think about it, it has its effect on you. He has his effect and the tricycle has its effect when it enters the scene. I'm interested to show what those origins are. I think fans are really interested in known what the origins of very specific moments, especially Saw fans who are into the details. They just are. I'm always impressed with that."

Seriously, who is going to watch Saw V? I can see why people would want to watch Saw I-III, because Saw was decent and Saw II was actually pretty good, but after Saw III, who cares? Okay, maybe there were those who thought they'd give it one more chance in Saw IV, but no one should still be interested in seeing more.

The same people who went to see Saw IV, at least on Opening Day. I'll go see it.

The thing I've liked about them is that they pay more attention to plot than do typical horror movies; the details they add in, the twists, the characterizations, all enrich the experience more than another exploding head might. The more details you have in a movie, the more things that could be potential plot points later on.

I'm a true Saw fan who loves all the movies, studies every detail, and I can't wait for the next movie. I hope they keep on going as long as possible. For all the people who hate it, there's 10 more who love it. Of course everyone is entitled to their opinion and thats fine. For me personally I LOVE SAW and always will!!

Let me guess, do these surprises include scenes of repeated torture and a clown on a tricycle?

These aren't the best movies ever made, but they're fun to watch. If they want to make even more of them, go ahead.

First one was fun, second one was decent. When I saw the previews for Saw III, I lost all interest in the series. Saw IV's previews made me glad that I lost interest.

I'm a SAW fan and it's obvious that the puppet represents his dead son and it was his tricycle...

The puppet obviously represents his soul and the tricycle represents his son since it was his sons death that drove him to where he is today.

They will run this franchise into the ground, as long as there are retards who are scared by overly-creative gore and who overlook dumb plots, and as long as the money rolls in, they will keep making Saw movies.
