Good news for Saw 5 then, but what happens if Scott is needed for AiA when the strike ends, does he have a cut off period or does AiA take first priority over other work?

I think all is safe. May and June are the filming dates (if I'm reading the announcement correctly). If there is a season 2 for Aliens, it should start filming around mid- to end-July. And there's no guarantee that there will be a season 2 of Aliens. And, if he (Scott) knows that there isn't a season 2 Aliens, he might be getting himself ready for a new series -- all this not knowing what is what with the writers strike -- as well as -- the CW and/or WB not telling us what projects they have cut and which they are going forward with.

It's a roller coaster out there!!!

I really hope the strike ends soon. Otherwise none of the tv shows we all know and love (that are still in production, even if halted) won't be coming back and won't have proper endings.

We better get a second season! hmmph.

and OT: I read that Scrubs may not get a series finale because of the strike, anyone else heard this?

Apparently they might go strait to DVD, including a proper final, once the strike ends.

back on topic, I was wondering if there was a cut off date to shoot more for the first season?

I hope we get a 2nd season.

I think the cut off date, all things considered currently, is probably something along the actor's schedules. I'd assume since this whole thing is really the studios dealings that they're the ones who will need to compromise if/when they decide to move on! you know?

Has there been anything about sponsors cutting back (on all shows)?

This just popped up too, confirming the filming start date as March 17th.

January 25, 2008 - IGN has confirmed that Saw IV cast members Tobin Bell, Scott Patterson, and Costas Mandylor will return for the Lionsgate franchise's fifth installment, which will be directed by the series' former production designer David Hackl. Bell plays the franchise's central character Jigsaw, while Patterson and Mandylor play FBI Agent Strahm and police detective Hoffman, respectively. Patterson made his franchise debut in Saw IV, while Mandylor joined in Saw III. The three actors' return was first rumored in a January 24th posting at ProductionCharts.com, which also claims Saw V will shoot in Toronto from May 17 to June 22. Bloody-Disgusting.com reports today that it, too, has heard that Bell, Patterson and Mandylor might be back for Saw V. IGN has confirmed that filming actually begins March 17 and not May 17, as ProductionCharts.com claims. Saw V is slated for release October 24, 2008.

That's real great news, and on St. Patrick's Day!!! (Lulu's "green" day) Saw is on schedule like all the previous movies. I think it's a safe bet the 18 episodes of Aliens is it for Season 1. We can only hope that there is more dialogue for Scott in Saw V. Would like to see him a lot more in the next Saw.

Thats great news. At least we know we will be seeing him in another movie!

[Scarlet's Walk]

I´m really excited about SAW V! we´ll see Scott on big screen again!

[Pasadora]

Thanks for the SAW news.

[crazyboutscott]

Maybe I will get up the nerve to go see Saw V on the big screen.
