The Official Jigsaw thread

Nick Santora (one of the writers) stopped by my myspace blog and just chimed in on the film and his choice on casting Jigsaw:

"Granted, as one of the 437 writers on this project, I am a bit biased, but I really want this film to do well and Lexi is such an inspired choice to bring this necessary exciting and intense visual elements to this project. She is smart and talented and I can't wait to see what she does with it.

Now, at the fear of being labeled a "home team fan", I'll throw Mr. Robert Knepper's name into the ring for Jigsaw. Bob plays T-Bag on Prison Break, a show I write and co-exec produce and I can say, without exaggeration, that he is one of the most talented actors in the world right now. He is truly gifted and he plays evil as good as anyone out there. He has an inate charisma and would be a great Jigsaw. Don't let his wiry frame fool you, he is tough and strong and could be a formidable foe."

You are aware that pre-disfigurement Jigsaw was given the nickname "The Beaut" for a reason, right?

I'll give you a hint, it wasn't meant to be ironic.

Actually, considering that the Beaut nickname wasn't a part of the character until Year One (1994 to 1995) I think it was very much designed for the sole purpose of being ironic.

But seriously, you are right, he is supposed to have been basically a male model and ladies man before Castle got to him. There is no way Mickey Rourke is suited for that... the audience needs somebody who they can identify as having great looks before the Punisher ****s him over. That way they can understand why he goes so over the edge in his anger.

Are you drunk?

Not to sound like a total fruit here but, Hauser is not a bad looking guy.

And if we look away from Knepper not being the best looking guy in Hollywood. He's not a bad actor. But yeah... He's called Billy The Beut. Not Billy Creppy Lookin'
 
I don't think he needs to be played by the best looking guy out there. The girls he attracts can be sleezey since he's a mobster and all.

And he still needs a face that'll look cool covered in scars.

I wouldn't mind if Robert Knefpper takes the role. In fact, I predict he will be the one they'll go with.

It could be ironic in the film, that could work.

And Rourke already looks perfect for Jigsaw. Just put some staples on his face.


lol @ the nutter who said Rourke shouldn't be jigsaw because Jigsaw is suppose to be adonis, then he turns around and says Robert Knepper for the role rofl
 
Guy Pearce, cuz there's not much this guy cant turn into gold, plain and simple. A real life King Midas in the movie world.
 
yeah...but he was great, always is. Ever see Memento... one of the best movies, ever?
 
I actually think that Knepper would be a good choice for Jigsaw. He may not have the looks we would expect, but he seems to have a certain kind of charm... and I wouldn't mind seeing his face all jigsawed up.
