Noticed XI author confirms that the undertaking has stalled out, and so they haven’t heard an replace on it since final Might
As quickly as Noticed X, the tenth entry within the Noticed franchise (you’ll be able to learn our overview HERE), was launched in September of 2023, franchise producers have been already speaking about the potential of a Noticed XI. The sequel was formally introduced in December of ’23, and whereas it was initially aiming for a September 2024 launch, it was rapidly pushed again to September 26, 2025, with Noticed X director Kevin Greutert set to return to the helm, working from a screenplay by Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton, who beforehand wrote Noticed elements 4 by means of 7 (with Thomas Fenton additionally getting a narrative credit score on Noticed IV). Yesterday, we heard that the movie has been cancelled as a consequence of an apparently unresolvable disagreement between the producers – and now, author Melton has confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that he hasn’t heard something extra concerning the undertaking for the reason that first draft of the script was turned in virtually a 12 months in the past.
Melton informed The Hollywood Reporter, “We haven’t heard something since Might. It’s stalled at a managerial degree. It has nothing to do with the inventive or the rest. There’s higher-level issues at play. Noticed XI might or will not be made, however we have now a really well timed story in it, and I hope it will get made simply due to that. It faucets into the identical themes of Noticed VI, the place you’re a citizen, you’re feeling indignant and pissed off with one thing, you’re feeling like you’ll be able to’t do something, and John Kramer’s going to do it. The rationale it’s held up is simply, there’s inter-squabbling between producers and Lionsgate. They only can’t fairly get on the identical web page.“
A scooper known as ViewerAnon has stated, “For people asking why Lionsgate can’t step in, Twisted Pictures owns all rights to Saw. Lionsgate cannot force producers to start production no matter how much they want a new movie.” A supply informed Bloody Disgusting that the franchise could be bought off, and would doubtless “start over” if that occurs. Business scooper Jeff Sneider of The InSneider heard that Blumhouse has truly already made a play for the rights, however the deal fell aside.
What do you consider what’s happening with Noticed XI? Are you hoping that Dunstan and Melton’s well timed script will nonetheless make it into manufacturing? Would you prefer to see Blumhouse reboot the franchise? Tell us by leaving a remark beneath.
