Samuel L. Jackson, Chris Rock, Max Minghella and Marisol Nichols have all signed on to be in the new Saw movie, which is being filmed right here in Toronto.

Samuel L. Jackson in the new SAW film? Well if there is one actor who could severely lower my scepticism about Chris Rock trying to make a SAW it is motherfuckin’ Samuel L. Jackson!

The film is the latest and ninth film in the Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures Saw franchise, which was created by James Wan and Leigh Whannell in 2004. 

Chris Rock came up with the story for the newest horror film. He's also starring in it as a police detective, as well as executive producing it. 

Jackson is playing Rock's father.

So, Chris Rock is rebooting Saw. He's going to play a police detective, and Samuel L. Jackson has been cast to play his father. Anybody else hoping Jackson ends up secretly being Jigsaw? #horror #FilmTwitter pic.twitter.com/tIhPLcVbRE
