Saw 6

So I read today that the geniuses behind the Saw franchise (sarcasm; aka, behind Saw 4-5) released that they're bringing back Shawnee Smith (Amanda Young) for Saw 6.

Wtf is Saw 6, a prequel?

I have nothing against bringing Amanda back, because she's my favorite character in the entire franchise, but in all fairness... the bitch has been dead for 2 movies. There are only 2 semi-conceivable reasons why she is being brought back:
1. It is going to have prequel aspects and most of the movie will be flashbacks (naturally in more detail) of events that occurred in between previous traps/encounters or stuff that happened before the original jaw trap in Saw.
2. They wrote a script that can't rely on previously filmed footage of Shawnee like every other Saw already has (flashbacks of the jaw trap in Saw 2-3, flashbacks of Amanda in the house trap in 3-5, showing Amanda dead in 4-5, etc.).

Apparently a main reason for bringing Shawnee back is to reveal the contents of the letter she opened, written by Hoffman that upset her so much, in Saw 3. I have wanted to know the contents ever since I watched Saw 3.

They also said there are several new characters in Saw 6 and it involves a lot of traps that required the victims to fight each other, like the mausoleum trap in Saw 4. Those sound like Hoffman's traps because Jigsaw's were not set up that way and Amanda's traps were set up so you wouldn't survive no matter what. Obviously one new character will be played by Tanedra, the girl that won Scream Queens on VH1.

I just don't see how they are going to wrap up everything. They still have to make Saw 7 and most likely Saw 8. All everyone else wants to know is what happened to Dr. Gordon.
Who gives a fuck what happened to Dr. Gordon?! He most likely died after cutting his foot off. Duh.



All I can say is that I'm pissed because now my curiosity is too high. I'm going to have to see it even though I vowed never to see another Saw film in theaters after seeing Saw 5. Boo.
