\"ChrisThis is, without a doubt, one of the weirdest headlines of the year.<\/p>\n

Comedian Chris Rock<\/strong> is sinking his teeth into the horror franchise by reviving the Saw movie franchise.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been a fan of Saw since the first film in 2004,\u201d Rock said in a statement. \u201cI am excited by the opportunity to take this to a really intense and twisted new place.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a fan of the franchise, Rock wrote a story for a new Saw film, which Lionsgate Motion Picture Group saw, and enjoyed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen Chris Rock came to us and described in chilling detail his fantastic vision that reimagines and spins off the world<\/strong> of the notorious Jigsaw Killer, we were all in,\u201d said Joe Drake, chairman of Lionsgate. \u201cThis upcoming film will still be as mind-bending and intense as all the previous Saw films.<\/strong>\u00a0\u201d<\/p>\n

A comedian making his or her way to comedy is nothing new. Last year, funnyman Danny McBride wrote the new “Halloween.” Also, Jordan Peele who is best known for the sketch comedy show “Key and Peele” has directed two horror films: “Get Out<\/a>” and “Us”<\/p>\n

The films are known for deadly and creative traps created by the main antagonist, Jigsaw. They are also known for intense gore.<\/p>\n

This will be the ninth Saw film to come out. Two years ago, the series came back with “Jigsaw<\/a>” after taking a seven-year break.<\/p>\n

Rock recently released a comedy special on Netflix called “Tamborine<\/a>.”He also made the comedy movie “The Week Of<\/a>” alongside fellow\u00a0SNL alum Adam Sandler<\/strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Aside from the first film, the Saw movies\u00a0haven’t been known for their compelling stories<\/strong>. Basically, we just keep watching them to see what traps the writers can concoct. If Rock’s story is as good as Lionsgate says it is, we are excited. However, we want to see cool traps<\/strong> more than anything else.<\/p>\n
