In regards to the sadness Jeff (Angus) feels for the loss of his son, and Amanda's relationship with John.

Yes, there is an emotional element within this storyline but I think what differentiates SAW VII from SAW III is that there is an aggressive plotline right underneath it. These characters have moved past sadness and are now dealing with anger...resentment...it fuels some of the most brutal engagements thus far!

and why did you kill him off so abruptly?

That is one of the most clever things for the series! OMG and since its probably a group game from what I have heard, thats the BEST way to put it!!!!

Question: Will Arkin be back in the collector 2?

It's pretty awesome to have you answering all these questions! Great to have you here Marcus.

I've got one, regarding Saw VI... I'm just curious.... what was your favorite trap, and favorite non trap scene in Saw VI?

Thanks for your time.

Hey Marcus, Patrick once penned the titel "SAW: ENDGAME". Is this still considered as a title? If not, will it definately be SAW VII or maybe even SAW 3D. There is really some confusion about this.

I hope you don't mind, but I've got some more questions.

1. Saw VI had traps that were orchestrated by John before death, but brought into fruition by Hoffman and Jill. With John's will finally complete, does that mean the traps in Saw VII aren't orchestrated by John? Are these orchestrated by Amanda before she died? Has Jill/Hoffman/someone else taken over w/ the traps and finally succeeded John? Or is John still pulling the strings with these last few games?

...Or will you get in trouble for answering that question? :P


2. You know Mark from Saw 1? Was his game unwinnable?

I don't see how Mark could have found the right combination on the wall; he wouldn't know where it begins and ends and wouldn't know how many digits the safe needed. Broken glass on the floor made it impossible to keep the candle steady. Even if he didn't burn himself, the candle would have ran out of wax before he got the correct combination. Then he would have been stranded in the darkness and the poison would have taken over. His game was a little extreme for something set up by John (who gives everyone a chance). John told Hoffman to throw Dr. Lawrence's penlight at Mark's game. I've heard theories that Hoffman might have orchestrated Mark's game and made it unwinnable?


3. It was kind of implied that Seth's game took place long before Amanda's. She still had scars on her face after Lawrence was brought in for questioning. How was Hoffman able to use Billy before Billy made his debut in Amanda's game?
