Saw X director returns to film Saw XI
Kevin Greutert is called back by Lionsgate to continue the saga.
Never change a winning team ! Announced last December, Saw XI has just found its director. And, unsurprisingly, Kevin Greutert was renewed by Lionsgate, after its successful stint in Saw X. He will continue his vision with the 11th feature film in the franchise, as announced by Bloody Disgusting.
