James Wan, the guy who brought us the Saw movies in all their many scary, twisted and morally bankrupt iterations, has signed a deal to create eight additional movies outside of his original Saw franchise. Wan wrote the first Saw film and executive produced the additional films in the series. He also made the 2010 low-budget horror film Insidious—in just 22 days. For the new films, “the idea is to produce small, scary, low-budget pics that I enjoy making,” said Wan. “I don’t see myself coming up with any romantic-dramedy ideas right now.” Not unless they involve homicidal puppets or bear traps, anyway.
