First Official 'Saw VI' Casting Comes From New 'Scream Queen'

Congratulations to Tanedra Howard (pictured inside) as she'll be taking on a role in Lionsgate's SAW VI, which begins shooting later next year for release on October 24th, 2009. Howard won VH1's "Scream Queens," which was judged by Shawnee Smith, James Gunn and John Homa. The prize? Her role in Saw VI, which will be scripted once again by Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton with Kevin Greutert taking on directing duties. No plot details have been revealed yet, but assume Jigsaw will once again make an appearance

UPDATE: Does Lionsgate Mishap Confirm Dr. Gordon's Return in 'Saw' Franchise?

Update beyond the break. We had been hearing heavy rumors that Cary Elwes would be returning as Dr. Gordon in both the Saw videogame and in Lionsgate's forthcoming Saw VI. While we learned that the studio changes the film depending on what type of news leaks, we decided to keep a safe distance from that rumor -- until now. This evening Xbox Live featured Saw V on their platform for download, only the plot description wasn't for the fifth film by David Hackl. Read on for the interesting synopsis.

Update: We're being told this is for the game (if not a complete farce that both Xbox and iTunes used) and not the movie -- although we're also hearing Elwes could make an appearance in the sixth Saw film (although that's supposed to be top secret and it's being denied left and right), which goes along with reports that the game will tie into the film's release in October.

B-D reader 'JayKah' writes into Bloody-Disgusting. "Today on Xbox Live Saw V was featured, but for the description of the movie it said:

'One man. One plan. One foot. Yes, the doctor is in! With a strange twist of fate and a revengeful plot, get ready for the most anticipated event of Saw. Face your fears at his operating table. Know that no one is safe from his sickness. Chills and screams are his true pleasure. on...and Blood? You'll be drenched in it.' "

Who else could they be talking about? It's obviously the return of Dr. Lawrence Gordon. The question remains, did Lionsgate accidently send out the synopsis for the game, or for Saw VI? We'll dig and try and find out more, but until then, check out the video below as evidence.

It's here and it's freakin' beautiful, beyond the break you'll find the exclusive first look at the official one sheet for Lionsgate's Saw VI, which arrives in theaters October 23. Out of all of the Saw posters, this might just be my favorite one, especially since it's something that would look rad on my wall.
