In addition to Spiral, Bousman has directed Saw II, Saw III, and Saw IV. Meaning he’s a vast wellspring of the franchise’s history. For yesterday’s marathon, the filmmaker re-watched and also live-tweeted about several of the Saw films that proceed Spiral! Obviously, it was nonstop excitement, with Bousman offering tons of incredible (and often humorous) insights!

Check out some of Bousman’s most interesting and also revealing tweets from yesterday’s SAWathon. Plus the trailer and also the synopsis for Spiral!

Synopsis:
A criminal mastermind unleashes a twisted form of justice in Spiral, the terrifying new chapter from the book of Saw. Working in the shadow of his father, an esteemed police veteran (Samuel L. Jackson), brash Detective Ezekiel “Zeke” Banks (Rock) and also his rookie partner (Max Minghella) take charge of a grisly investigation into murders that are eerily reminiscent of the city’s gruesome past. Unwittingly entrapped in a deepening mystery, Zeke also finds himself at the center of the killer’s morbid game.

Darren Lynn Bousman directs Spiral: From the Book of Saw from a screenplay written by Josh Stolberg and also Peter Goldfinger from a story by Chris Rock. Based on the original film by James Wan (The Conjuring) and also Leigh Whannell (The Invisible Man).

About Saw II

Saw II Live tweet! The first trap… this is a personal one for me. When I was born I had a major eye problem… In fact, my mother was blind when she had me. I had to go through three separate eye surgeries from six months to 16 years.

First Trap Trivia. Yes I am in the scene as a cameo… I am the one operating on the victim… My one cameo.

Saw II trivia. The rumors are true. Thought you was based on my original script called the desperate. I wrote it based on the desperation I felt in my life. Lionsgate got a hold of the script through twisted pictures and agreed to meet with me. My script was turned into SAW 2

More fun Saw 2 trivia. I was a huge new kids on the block fan. On the first day of set I wore a new kids on the block T-shirt. But I was instructed to take it off immediately. Donnie did not find it amusing.

It still makes me happy that when Jigsaw is captured he is eating breakfast cereal. It was something very important to me… I wanted him doing something utterly mundane. @Saw

Tweet storm continies; When Saw II ended I tried to mail back a few hundred of the needles from needle pit. Customs didn’t find it funny and took them. So I took more and put them in my checked luggage. Checkmate @TSA #SAWathon

About Saw III

SAW III has always been the favorite of my original three Saw films. Unfortunately SPIRAL now takes that honor. However, I will always love what we were able to pull off with John Kramer and Amanda’s relationship. Saw III is a love story. #SAWathon

Angus MacFadyen quit the movie after the pig trap scene. In all fairness it was completely my fault. I told him he wouldn’t get sprayed with pig guts then I proceeded to spray him with pig guts. I had to talk him in to coming back. Now we are friends. #SAWathon

The classroom into Kerry’s apartment is one of my favorite of all the transitions I’ve ever done. It involved moving walls and insane choreography. All in camera. #SAWathon

Saw III trivia. I had to call @RobZombie and ask for help with the MPAA. Saw III received the NC-17 half a dozen times. Rob gave me advice on how to get that R. The only movie I had more trouble getting the R on was… SPIRAL. #SAWathon

My last tweet tonight. I gained 30 pounds between Saw II and III. It was the first time in a decade I had enough money in my account to eat. And I lived next to a Shanghai Noodle joint. Don’t judge me. I liked noodles. #sawathon. Here is a picture of me on my first day on II pic.twitter.com/WNq1Vqtr45
