Development
Saw 3D was intended to be the final film in the Saw franchise,[4] with the film being split into two parts. However, Lionsgate Films only allowed the filmmakers to make one more film after Saw VI under-performed at the box office. According to Saw 3D writers Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton, "It was our original intention to make the final Saw film in two parts, but when VI didn't do so well, the studio got nervous and we were only allowed to make one more. The big reveal of Dr. Gordon was a bit underserved as a result. Perhaps creating more questions than answers. There were several ideas we never quite figured out. But I don’t want to say what they were, because you never know what might happen in the future."[5]
