10 More Delayed 2020 Movies

It's incredible that the Saw franchise continues on after all this time. Even after Saw 3D flopped, the series seemingly refuses to die. When Jigsaw released in 2017, critics were unfavourable with their reviews. Despite the criticism, the movie was a smash hit with movie goers, making ten times its budget at the box office.

Fans were shocked when it was announced Chris Rock would be writing the next Saw film. Even stranger was the casting of Rock with Samuel L Jackson in the lead roles. Helmed by Saw veteran Darren Lynn Bousman, the ninth instalment in the Saw franchise serves as a reboot to the iconic horror series.

Spiral follows a team of cops who have been tasked to investigate a series of murders in the town. The killings are reminiscent of previous events, leading the team on a gruesome search which takes them right into the middle of the killer's sick game. The trailer contains countless callbacks to earlier films, which gives the impression the town has a copy-cat killer at large.

Ironically, the film was originally scheduled for October 2020, but was moved up to a May release to avoid competing with the upcoming Halloween sequel. Lionsgate are currently waiting for more clarity on the current situation before confirming another release date.
