Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021) was originally supposed to be released in May 2020, but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and Lionsgate released it in theaters on May 14, 2021. The film got mixed reviews from reviewers, who appreciated the series's new direction but were split as to whether or not it had successfully reinvented the brand.
During the chase, Banks is caught and wakes up in a warehouse chained to a pipe with a hacksaw nearby. He contemplates cutting off his arm, but manages to get away with a bobby pin. Peter Dunleavy, Dunleavy's ex-partner who was sacked and imprisoned when Banks uncovered a murder he committed, is tied to a chair. Glass shrapnel is being hurled at him from a massive glass-crushing machine that has been adapted to do so. It's recorded on a recording that Banks has the option of either freeing or killing the prisoner. Despite his best efforts, Banks is unable to free Dunleavy in time. There, Banks discovers Schenk, who has been a copycat all along, having faked his own death by using a skinned body of an accomplice who enticed Bozwick into a tunnel. It was Charlie Emmerson, who was shot and murdered by Dunleavy because he had promised to testify against a crooked officer, that his son's last name is indeed Emmerson, the son of Charlie Emmerson. He also indicates that Marcus, when serving as chief, sheltered corrupt cops on purpose in order to more effectively clean the streets under Article 8.

Stolberg stated in an interview with Bloody Disgusting that Jigsaw was never included in any draft for the screenplay of Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021), despite the fact that discussions continued even after the first test screening and continued through post-production. This is because they believed that including Jigsaw would alter the foundation of the story they were trying to achieve; they did not intend to diminish the character, but rather wanted to place the franchise in a new direction. Stolberg also believed that because of the timeline of the franchise, any possible connection that John Kramer could have had with William Schenk/The Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021) Killer should have occurred when the latter was still a child, taking into account his portrayer's age. Stolberg and Goldfinger proposed at one point to have an after-credits sequence where Kramer met a young Schenk after the murder of the latter's father and bonded with him, possibly giving him the puppet he later uses as the
Spiral (2021): Behind the Scenes
James Wan and Leigh Whannell, as well as Daniel Heffner, who created Saw, have joined Rock as executive producers. As scriptwriters, Stolberg and Goldfinger have been confirmed.
Although Bousman declined to make another film after Saw IV, Rock insisted on having him direct a Broadway musical in New York City.
Stolberg also indicated that the ninth film would be part of the same canon as the previous eight and will neither be a reboot or a straight sequel to Jigsaw.Spiral: From the Book of Saw roles
Max Minghella took on the role of William Schenk / The Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021) Killer because he yearned to star in a film with simple story-telling like the buddy cop films of his youth, such as 48 Hrs., and when he read the script, he felt that it was both that and a Saw film.
I'm curious what it was like to work on Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021).
Principal filming for The Organ Donor started on July 8, 2019, in Toronto, Ontario, with Jordan Oram acting as cinematographer. The film will feature Rock, Jackson, Minghella, and Nichols. According to Lionsgate CEO Joe Drake, Samuel L. Jackson and Chris Rock, as well as Max Minghella and Marisol Nichols, will make this picture wholly unique in the Saw canon, and they can't wait to unleash this surprising and scary new narrative on fans of the series. This was Saw at its most extreme. On site, Rock contributed rewrites and entirely rewrote his character's introductory sequence. According to Bousman, a sequence with a trap had to be deleted from the movie because it was too gruesome.
Filming ended August 28, 2019. Singh edited post-production.

What were the reviews of Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021) like?
Critics commended Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021)'s efforts to change the franchise template, but thought it didn't give Saw the jolt it needed to restore relevancy.
On the website that aggregates reviews, Rotten Tomatoes, there are 221 reviews total, and 37 percent of those reviews are positive, giving the movie an average rating of 5.1 out of 10. The general opinion among the site's reviewers was that Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021) hints to an exciting new path for the Saw series, even if the bloody whole is rather less than the sum of its parts.
According to one film reviewer, the picture takes an unexpected twist or two, but given that it's a thriller about police immorality, the film handles that subject in a strangely offtopic, even garishly generic manner.Another film reviewer said the writing caught the grizzled-cop-movie tone and created some memorable characters, but the plot was repetitive, the mystery was annoyingly obvious, and the inventive deaths were less imaginative than before. Spiral (2021) chose respectability above entertainment value, but it didn't quite accomplish either.
A film reviewer awarded the film one out of five stars and panned the climax, noting that it was hurried, half-assed, badly written, and, most importantly, becoming progressively uninteresting. He declared the game over at the completion of his review.
A separate film reviewer complimented the opening sequence but concluded that it was the film's sole redeeming feature, stating that the idea is "dishonest at best and fearmongering at worst." This film is not as brilliant as it thinks it is, like Jigsaw presenting one of his simple riddles.
Spiral is a sequel that wants to woo Saw enthusiasts and mainstream viewers equally, but Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021): From the Book of Saw is likely to offend them both, according to one film reviewer. It's a cheap rip-off of the show, failing to match even the most basic aesthetic and narrative standards. It's also a terrible movie in general, attempting to portray a socially important subject but failing miserably. Spiral (2021) is hardly a Saw picture, delivering only momentarily on the primal pleasure of mutilation, and on none of the series' other precepts, according to him. It's also the most artless, tactless form of what it really is: a rejected pilot episode for a routine cop show.
Reviewer Spiral, according to Decker Shado. From the Saw book and Chris Rock's mind comes Spiral (2021), the latest Saw movie, which came out late in 2021. After a whole Summer of Saw, you should know how the story goes by now: a killer is on the loose who doesn't kill his victims directly, but instead tests them with clever and disturbing machines. At least, that's the idea behind it. Many of these (original source) traps leave a lot to be desired, and their methods and goals are also a bit off. His video explains it much better.
Will there be a sequel to Spiral?
Lionsgate Television chairman Kevin Beggs said in an April 2021 interview with Deadline Hollywood that Lionsgate TV is in early negotiations to produce a television series based on Spiral (2021) with Mark Burg and Oren Koules' Twisted Television productions.
