Filmmaker James Wan (”Saw”) posted the following blog today on Myspace, giving an update on what he and his collaborator Leigh Whannell have been up to:

“Hey guys and gals,

How have you all been? Hope the New Year is treating everyone well. It has been awhile since I blogged on here and there have been a few developments.

As you all know, there was a writers strike in Hollywood that grounded a lot of productions and projects to a standstill.

People have been asking me what my next project will be. Well, Leigh and I have been quietly working on a new script, which we were very excited about, when the strike kicked into full swing. So, we had to sit on it for a few months and wait it out. However, it was actually a good thing for us because it meant that we could fine-tuned the script without anyone breathing down our necks. But now that the strike is over, we can start pursuing projects again!

Also, in the meantime, I’ve been consulting on two video games! One of which, is the SAW videogame.

Leigh and I are very excited about this new venture. We are big gaming fans and we think it would a great opportunity to continue the SAW legacy into a different platform/medium. Keeps things fresh for us anyway. A lot of people have asked us if we would be interested in writing another SAW movie…well, we are writing another SAW story…but it’s for the game. We’re treating this story like the SAW movies with lots of twists and turns. We have no idea how that is going to apply to a computer game format, considering that most games are generally pretty simple in it’s plotting. Maybe its a good thing that Leigh and I are naive to the video game world and that we’re writing it like its a movie!”
