More about Saw 6

It's sick how much I am following this stuff...


Bloody-Disgusting released a short article on the 21st confirming that Shawnee Smith is indeed going to Toronto to film new footage for Saw 6. It will all be flashback footage, like I previously predicted/guaranteed, but at least it will be new. At least everyone officially knows now that they didn't just announce her to sell movie tickets and just integrate the same file footage from Saw 3 that they used in the 4th and 5th movie (her wheeling Lynn into the room and her lying on the floor after being shot).
The article also gives hints into the plot by saying that the new footage is essential to the outcome of the movie. Seeing that a lot of people are thinking that this will be the last Saw film (thank God), I think it is about time that they realized how important Amanda was to the entire franchise. If they make most of this movie flashbacks, I hope they do the importance justice and come up with a really good background that was only previously hinted at. Possibilities/examples being: digging deeper into her heroin addiction, how/why she was framed and arrested by Eric Matthews, how Jigsaw found her for the jaw trap (following the Saw: Rebirth comic and showing that he met her in a rehab hospital after he drove his car off the cliff), how she felt/perceived Hoffman... the list just goes on and on.

I think showing her feelings toward Hoffman are essential. He expressed his thoughts and doubts about Amanda in Saw 5, but we have no idea what she felt about him. Like, was the role of the new Jigsaw after John died a competition to the two of them that went to the last one standing? Obviously Hoffman beat Amanda seeing that the letter he wrote sent her off the edge and she failed her final test.


There's just so much to think about with this character. I love it.
