SAW 20th Anniversary Q&A - Leigh Whannell, Cary Elwes, Tobin Bell

[@ultimateaquiles]

Man Tobin's voice gives me chills, even when he's just speaking normally

Facts

[@Shannon-vv6rr]

Love him and Shawnee Smith together as John and Amanda. She always gives me chills too 😅😍

[@K._K.]

20 years I don’t even have words for this

[@ThePopcornPro]

yes were getting old...

[@twinpeakswithoutthemagic]

@@ThePopcornPro I look pretty good for 39 but Cary Elwes wow, he ages like a fine wine. And Tobin Bell will still be around until he’s 90. They’ve all done amazing.

[@deafgwipps]

[@Shannon-vv6rr]

☠️ I feel ancient.

[@sophiecooper1824]

Look at Billy sitting so politely 😂❤

[@danielgrantgaming1]

He look so innocent

[@pennywisethedancingclown4024]

That def seems like it was Leigh’s idea

[@wolfhausen99]

Tobin bell is 82 and honestly looking at him I would think that he was in his 50's also I literally just finished watching Saw X and absolutely loved it!

[@stacykeller3812]

Agreed! Saw X was so good! Hard to believe Tobin Bell is that old!

[@Dhampire1976]

He takes care of himself very well. It's good to see honestly for 82 he looks very good and healthy

[@Shannon-vv6rr]

Hardworking moving man has kept his looks and wits. Even at 62 he could've had a dummy stand in for him lying in the bathroom playing dead for the whole movie but he dedicated himself sm to this franchise. It's really Tobins baby.

[@BelieveInScience]

Nobody even asked Billy a question. Poor guy.

[@Shaz-Daz]

They treated him like a puppet 😥

[@Shannon-vv6rr]

I heard he has a temper and blows up on people. Detective Perez told me 😂

[@danielgrantgaming1]

He just chilling thier

[@Hknasw]

The interviewer must be tested for not questioning Billy. Interviewer does not appreciate his life

[@nerdrecorp54123]

Tobin Bell still going strong at 82. We just lost Tony Todd, so I'm appreciating Bell while he's still around 🖤

[@kevinstefanov2841]

you make it sound like he's gonna go soon. He wont!! He will be around with us for many more years to come

[@MiklosTamas1997]

Its never too late to start... Tobin Became a horror icon in His 60's Legend

[@dr.darkcrow6784]

28:10 I love the look on his face, as he realizes "Oh there are *quite a few* Princess Bride & Saw crossover fans" The two roles couldn't be more different, and yet, people love them both.

[@CoolPandaTheMovieNerd]

It's so surreal watching an interview with Tobin Bell after seeing him on screen as a vicious psycho and here he's the sweetest man ever.

[@Filmmaker809]

Such a shame James Wan was not there! But loved Tobin Bell, Leigh Whannel and Cary Elwes! I think Death Sentence made by James Wan is his best film.

[@barryriste3229]

Death sentence is a great film, doesn’t get enough recognition

[@natew5593]

@@barryriste3229 I love that movie, I agree

[@TyRave]

James Wan is one of the 2 to actually want to go away from the Saw Films, even Leigh Wannel when he did Invisible Man, said the kills in that movie was more elegant then "a dude sawing his leg off."

[@Filmmaker809]

@@TyRave I get that. When all don't want to be typecast do the same films over and over again. But if it were not for the Saw Short film and Saw feature film, they would not even have a career in film which lets face it in a bad way in 2024 because of the recession.

[@alex_knyaz]

I guess, the thing is, because it’s is a Death Wish remake in a core. Although the film itself is pretty decent. And Bacon and Hedlund were great.

[@Stumme-40203]

It’s nice that Billy could fill James Wan’s place on such short notice. I know he’s busy at work on Saw 11, this really shows his love for the fans.

[@saw66690]

С чего ты взял ,что Джеймс Ван снимает 11_ю часть Пилы???

[@ppop_unvrs]

The first movie came out on Oct 29, 2004, it doesn't feel like it. At this point, Saw franchise has became a cult classic favorite, everyone knows this film, it shifted the dynamic of the horror genre by creating a film that's associated with a puppet and a deadly game. Genius!

[@JPDeez]

surprised Tobin actually laid there on the ground for the scenes that showed him lying on the ground. Figured it was a fake body to make sure you didn't catch it breathing, impressive!

[@shaneblackburn8910]

One of the greatest plot twists of all time.

[@500sotos]

No one mentioned the iconic soundtrack from Charlie Clouser..

[@KailahSamari]

Nightmare On Elm Street was my first horror film but once I saw SAW I was hooked! I wish we could've heard Tobin say "Game Over" live.

[@Hayyden]

Damn. I was only 9 when I watched this! Babysitter was on another level.

[@sophiecooper1824]

I was 12 😂

[@c.u.2948]

I was 13 years old. Not the best idea I’ve have had at that time 🥴 nevertheless, I enjoy the movies today

[@Hayyden]

@@sophiecooper1824 My parents asking me if I want to play a game was never the same after watching SAW.

[@KingdomHeart556]

I think I was 9 or maybe 10 when my mom rented the DVD I think from hastings. She molded my horror movie love from a young age

[@Shannon-vv6rr]

I was 9 too. I swear I saw it when it came out 😂 rented from Blockbuster probably

[@zoesagittarius2675]

The Saw franchise will forever be my favourite

[@jerequallio9052]

Cary Elwes is a legend!

[@dadazofikasi]

This man have a Greatest Horor Voice i ever heard in my life..long live to one and only, Tobin "JIGSAW" Bell..THE LIVING LEGEND❤ GAME OVER!!

[@natew5593]

Been there since the beginning. Such a huge fan of the series and seeing James Wan and Leigh Whannell bring SAW to life from being film school friends was very inspiring for me as a younger guy. It's been a wild ride with this series, and it has been great celebrating its 20th anniversary this year

[@gamebrainjagras4193]

28:42 people who think this don’t realize lying on the floor is vastly different from laying in the grass or in a bed or a floor with carpet.

[@Shannon-vv6rr]

Especially at 62

[@PVRGE7]

The fact that these guys were in college and conjured this film up is truly philosophical and intriguing. They introduced a whole different approach to the horror genre and that's why this franchise stood out and became so legendary. It wasn't just about blood and gore. I also love how they treated the films as a continuous series that connected so well. It was so brilliant! It just kept the audience wanting more and more over the years! The first Saw movie has probably one of the greatest twist endings ever. I remember seeing this movie in a theater and omg what an incredible experience. When the ending came around and John Kramer got up from that floor the whole audience was screaming in shock. Then when he stepped out of the bathroom and shut the door while Adam was screaming everyone started cheering and clapping. An experience i wish i can go through again! Its funny how this film was created on such a small scale with a small budget, but the irony is that it had such a huge impact on the world with just the start of that one low budget film. Incredible.

[@chris.nanite]

When Tobin talks you can hear a pin drop in that theater. Talk about iconic.

[@tdubb3254]

The original Saw is still one of my favorite horror movies 20 years later

[@jorngaming89]

When Tobin Bell made a bow my heart skipped a beat ❤

[@Kuid4or3]

One of my favorite Movies of all times. Tobin Bell is a Legend to me

[@SweeneyTodd1990]

Hilarious they gave the puppet his own chair 😂

[@roonkolos]

I mean he DID have his own plane ticket during travel so this makes sense XD

[@Shannon-vv6rr]

​@@roonkolosConsidering Billy was an explosive when he shattered and nailed Perez's face, I'm surprised he was allowed on a plane 😂 that must've taken some convincing

[@rinraiden]

I have to say, Adam looks surprisingly healthy for someone who spends most of his days as a rotting corpse in a bathroom.

[@jepoyhanneman9722]

That voice hunts me forever for everytime i hear it. Such a good actor

[@frankcross6958]

I remember watching SAW when it first came out in 2004. Had no idea what it was. i heard its just a small indie film. then it became an instant classic. modern horror movies have zero imagination or creativity, but this 1 was scary, creepy, with a great twist at the end. 20 years... i feel old haha

[@kathygonzalez1413]

I can't believe it's 20 years old i was 21 in 2004 and I now im almost 42 . Scary 😳😂

[@the-heads]

Lol "Saw is Titanic for weirdos" absolutely true

[@PiggyGuru123]

Love this. Makes me feel old though! Iconic franchise

[@rasmusdavidandersen7195]

i didnt even knew it was the 20th Anniversary of saw, i got a saw tattoo two days ago to remind myself of my own saw traps (self harm and suicidal thoughts) in life and how i should tressure my life. this franchise saved my life thank you for everything.

Saw will always be my favorite horror franchise I can’t believe it’s been 20 years. So happy that James Wan and Leigh Whannel created that franchise and Billy the puppet

[@NationalSportsEntertainmentNSE]

The watch along commentary they did years ago was hilarious and they didn't even have Tobin. Great chemistry. Looking forward to this

[@ThePontiff113]

James and Shawnee definitely deserved to be here, still, this was great!

[@PcGamerify]

Tobin is a national treasure

[@alfreddreamer9097]

For a moment there even when Tobin was explaining his character’s motivation etc in the movie, it almost kind of sounded like he was hinting that people in real life don’t appreciate their lives. Kind of chilling but funny at the same time because he’s obviously an actor and not a life ender etc. Lol

[@gAbeDHD]

Saw 2 is still my favorite and the only one that really caught me off guard with the end even more than the first

[@julianlinsel4346]

Excellent interviews. Can't believe it's 20 years. Really clever franchise

[@johncarpenter8527]

The first Saw movie is the best out of the entire franchise. Certified classic. It’s got the mystery/thriller element combined with horror/gore. Great acting by the cast as well. Love the first movie

First part is the best!

[@waregl72]

I am literally distracted every time Tobin talks in this because that voice is so iconic to that character. I know actors HATE being pigeonholed to one thing, but I am sorry, Tobin is John and always will be. Can't hear that voice and think of anything else.

[@danielwilliams9753]

I like to think of John Kramer/Jigsaw as a violent Batman. He is a vigilante that like to deal out punishment to those who do morally wrong things or bad behavior in general. Jigsaw has a lot of money, can create a whole bunch of contraptions, has sidekicks and can outsmart everyone in this universe.

[@KingdomHeart556]

Hah Carey's Australian accent cracks me up

Goddamn... Tobin looks amazing for being 82 years old

[@twinpeakswithoutthemagic]

This is kind of surreal. I only just remembered right at the very end of the video I’ve been seeing Adam in that room in my head for a week or more. Simply because I’m going through a terribly difficult time, thinking to myself I’ve got to get out of that room somehow. And the awful thing about life is some of us don’t get out. Which again, reminds me I’ve even thought of doing my own cut of Saw and using all the bathroom scenes and making it look VHS, but I’m not where near that skill level yet.

[@brooklyn9002]

[@JayH3nry]

One person missing that absolutely should have been a part in this panel was Kevin Gruetert. His editing played a huge role in every Saw film until he was finally asked to succeed David Hackl (Saw 5 is severely underrated because it provided the backstory for Hoffman becoming the accomplice) and direct 6 and 7 (And XI). Without his editing as well as Charlie Clauser’s score who knows if we would even be talking about this movie and franchise becoming as iconic as it has become

[@Marshmallow-Rose]

The comment about Saw being Titanic for weirdos was very funny 😂😂

Please come out Saw XI soon, but on the other hand Saw was the very first horror movie I watched let alone all the way through but when I saw a short snippet on TV in 2004 when it was coming out on DVD and the very first time I was watched this movie was with the light on and door cracked ready for me to make a run for it but I watched all the way through and my interest grew from there.
