Saw X: First Look at Billy the Puppet's Franchise Return Has Been Revealed

The hype machine behind SAW X is well under way as Lionsgate has just released the first official image of Billy the Puppet for the upcoming film.

Billy the Puppet making an appearance is fitting, as one of the biggest things helping to distinguish Saw X is the fact that it will see actor Tobin Bell returning to the screen to play Jigsaw again. Saw X will actually be set between the events of Saw and Saw II; the director of Saw VI and Saw: The Final Chapter, Kevin Greutert, will direct this latest chapter.

What is SAW X about?

John Kramer (Tobin Bell) is back. The most disturbing installment of the Saw franchise yet explores the untold chapter of Jigsaw's most personal game. Set between the events of Saw I and II, a sick and desperate John travels to Mexico for a risky and experimental medical procedure in hopes of a miracle cure for his cancer – only to discover the entire operation is a scam to defraud the most vulnerable. Armed with a newfound purpose, the infamous serial killer returns to his work, turning the tables on the con artists in his signature visceral way through devious, deranged, and ingenious traps.

"We have been listening to what the fans have been asking for and are hard at work planning a movie that Saw aficionados and horror fans alike will love," Saw producers Mark Burg and Oren Koules wrote in their own press statement. "And part of that is giving the reins to Kevin Greutert, director of Saw VI, which is still one of the fans' favorites in the entire series."

SAW X Hits theaters on September 29th
