Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2020) Official Teaser Trailer – Chris Rock, Samuel L Jackson

There was a time when we pretty much knew what to expect from the films in the Saw franchise, with eight in total released by Lionsgate between 2004 and 2017. But that all changed when it was announced that Chris Rock(!) had come up with the concept for the latest installment in the franchise, a film he was also set to both star in and executive produce. Well the wait for our first look is over today, as Lionsgate has just debuted the official teaser trailer for director Darren Lynn Bousman‘s Spiral: From the Book of Saw! Bousman, who directed Saw II, Saw III and Saw IV, returns to the franchise with Spiral, which stars Chris Rock as a police detective investigating a series of grisly crimes. The trailer kicks off with Rock’s character, Detective Banks, getting called to the scene of a gruesome murder, and it’s revealed that the killer has been specifically targeting cops. The killer’s M.O. looks to be leaving behind red spirals at the crime scenes, which would seem to be a reference to the pattern on the cheeks of Jigsaw’s right-hand-man, the creepy puppet known as Billy. Samuel L. Jackson is playing the father of Rock’s character, and he appears in the trailer as well. A couple traps are teased, including a callback to the original one that started it all. The trailer, which features a haunting, slowed down version of the franchise’s iconic theme, reminds more of David Fincher’s Se7en than it does any Saw movie we’ve seen before, and that’s very much a compliment. How does this new killer connect to the previous events of the franchise? And will Jigsaw himself (Tobin Bell) be making any sort of appearance in the movie? We’ll find out this coming May. In the meantime, watch the teaser below. A sadistic mastermind unleashes a twisted form of justice in SPIRAL, the terrifying new chapter from the book of SAW. Working in the shadow of an esteemed police veteran (Samuel L. Jackson), brash Detective Ezekiel “Zeke” Banks (Chris Rock) and his rookie partner (Max Minghella) take charge of a grisly investigation into murders that are eerily reminiscent of the city’s gruesome past. Unwittingly entrapped in a deepening mystery, Zeke finds himself at the center of the killer’s morbid game. Spiral was written by Josh Stolberg and Pete Goldfinger, from a story by Chris Rock. The franchise returns to the big screen on May 15, 2020. Visit Bloody Disgusting ► http://bloody-disgusting.com Like Us on Facebook ►   / bloodydisgusting   Follows Us on Twitter ►   / bdisgusting
