Saw IV Updates...

Well the Saw IV bandwagon is moving right along, kids. We finally got a teaser trailer, which only created more questions instead of answering the old ones (who the hell is the person dressed as Jigsaw at the end of the trailer?). Then we get the clip of the trap involving two men chained together at the neck. Well, thanks to a brand new clip; we get a lot more insight as to what is in store for us come October 26th, 2007.

The recent clip sheds some light on how exactly Jigsaw appears at the beginning of the film. For those who have yet to see the clip, I will describe it. We open with Jigsaw’s body being wheeled into a Medical lab. He is laid out on a table where his brain is removed (more than likely to check for the tumor). Then his chest is cracked open and organs are removed. The surgeon then removes the stomach and cuts it open to reveal a tape. The surgeon then calls Detective Hoffman (who appeared at the beginning of Saw III) who plays the tape. We hear Jigsaw greeting Hoffman, followed by another big “fuck you” speech. “Are you there, Detective? I promise that my work will continue. You think it is over, but you are wrong. The games have just begun.” Then we see Hoffman discovering the body of Kerri (the rib cage trap from Saw III) and then a whole host of new traps (the razors around the head, the two men chained together, and a couple bound together). In true Saw fashion there are a lot of clips that are edited together with lightning quick speed, so it is easy to miss something important. Well, that editor didn’t count on this asshole having all the time in the world to obsess over this movie. I had a contact go through and pause the clips to see if anything was revealed that the average nerd would overlook. Jackpot, bitches. Remember the pic from below? Well I made some changes to accommodate my find. Look again.
Now who, besides Dr. Gordon, do we know to have anything wrong with his ankle? And yes, I realize that the picture is dark and that you probably can’t see jack shit as far as an ankle brace goes, but thanks to the high tech nerds at IMDB I have been able to confirm it. Now look below to find one frame from the autopsy trailer.
Looks like Detective Mathews (Donnie Wahlberg) is back for more. If you can remember the line from Saw III towards the end of the film after the Amanda/Mathews flashback, Jigsaw tells Amanda “you killed Detective Mathews.” She agrees, to which he replies, “No, that’s what you thought, but I know better. I cleaned up your mistakes.” Seeing as how this looks like Wahlberg, and the brace is on the same foot that he broke in Saw III, I’d say I am right on the money here. It has also been confirmed by the actor himself that he appears in the film.

So what does all of this mean (other than the fact that I have no life)? Well, in the official synopsis it stated that Rigg was playing Jigsaw's game to help an old friend (Rigg called Mathews "old buddy" in Saw II). It also means nothing other than Mathews being back. I'm still no closer to any answers as all this has done has created more questions. Fuck me.
