We’re going to be able to see Chris Rock’s Saw reboot much earlier than anticipated. Originally set for an October 23, 2020 release, the film has now shifted to May 15, 2020.
The release date change is significant because it shows a bit of confidence in the film from the studio since they’re giving it a more prime summer release date. This will break it from the tradition of the franchise which has seen all of the releases of its previous films during the month of October. The new release date has it opening against the Scooby-Doo reboot, Scoob.
Rock, who also co-wrote the story for the film, plays a police detective investigating a series of grizzly crimes with Samuel L. Jackson playing his father. They’re joined in the film by Max Minghella who plays William Schenk, Rock’s partner and Marisol Nichols as Capt. Angie Garza, Rock’s boss.
