| Sundance: James Wan says he wants to make another 'Saw' film | James Wan talked about wanting to make another Saw film that Leigh Whannell will write at the Sundance Film Festival on Thursday. Wan and Whannell spoke at a legacy screening of the original Saw. Saw premiered at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival. The duo recalled pacing the lobby of the theater nervously during the first screening. Lionsgate released the film in October of 2004, and nine subsequent sequels. Wan said he hopes to bring the franchise back to the original. "All I can say at this point is we're going to do one," Wan said. "We are going to make one. I don't want to say too much. It's very early still." Saw introduced the Jigsaw killer. Jigsaw would put victims in traps that they could survive, if they made a gruesome sacrifice. |

| Sundance movie review: 'History of Concrete' finds comedy in repair | The History of Concrete, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, is a clever and amusing documentary about concrete and everything it touches. John Wilson essentially made a feature length episode of his HBO show How To with John Wilson. It begins when Wilson looks for a new project. During the WGA strike he attends a seminar on writing Hallmark movies. The Hallmark movie he watches for research is 'Twas the Date Before Christmas. Since the plot deals with affordable housing, it leads him to think about his own home he rents and his attempt at concrete foundation repair. That roundabout path is how Wilson approaches everything. |
