Blumhouse is currently working out a deal to purchase 50% of the Saw franchise from Twisted Pictures. The other 50% will remain with Lionsgate. Will this finally push Saw XI into development?
In a deal that will bring James Wan back in touch with the mega horror IP he created, we hear from several sources that Blumhouse is acquiring the perspective rights to Twisted Pictures’ portion of the Saw franchise.
In short, Blumhouse essentially is taking over the IP’s ownership from Twisted’s Mark Burg and Oren Koules. Lionsgate will continue to be involved as a partner and, in fact, owns 50% of the franchise.
