Los Angeles, June 5 -- The 'Saw' franchise may soon see a change of hands, as talks of Blumhouse Studios acquiring Twisted Pictures has kicked off again, thus giving Blumhouse the official rights over the renowned horror series.
If a deal goes through, it would bring the franchise back into the partial hands of director James Wan, who made the iconic first movie and created the franchise with co-writer Leigh Whannell, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Blumhouse, run by Jason Blum, merged with Wan's production banner, Atomic Monster, in early January 2024.
The talks between Blumhouse and Twisted began last year but broke down earlier this year, with a sale price being one of the big sticking points, stopping the deal completely.
