New Saw X Featurette Explores the Origin of the John Kramer Story (Exclusive)

This exclusive look at the journey of Saw X uncovers the project's origins.

When a new Saw sequel was announced as Saw X, fans were immediately intrigued by the project and wondered if it could mark the return of Tobin Bell's John Kramer, with a new featurette for the film's home video release confirming that plans to bring back Bell had gone back years. While 2021's Spiral: From the Book of Saw was meant to expand the mythology of the franchise, the new featurette that the idea to bring back Kramer went back to before that film, which put all Saw X plans on hold. Check out the new featurette for Saw X above before it hits 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD on November 21st. Saw X is out now on Digital.

Per press release, "John Kramer (Tobin Bell) is back. The most chilling installment of the Saw franchise yet explores the untold chapter of Jigsaw's most personal game. Set between the events of Saw I and II, this story finds a sick and desperate John traveling to Mexico for a risky and experimental medical procedure in hopes of obtaining a miracle cure for his cancer -- only to discover the entire operation is a scam to defraud the most vulnerable. Armed with a newfound purpose, John returns to his work, turning the tables on the con artists in his signature visceral way through a series of ingenious and terrifying traps.
