It’s poster day here at the site and now we’ve got another for you. Previously, we brought you the first trailer for the latest, and presumably last, installment of the Saw franchise now known as Saw 3D. In that trailer we were treated to a lot of the same torture porn images, intricate traps and the rest of what you would expect from a Saw film.

The biggest difference with this latest one is that it brings back some of the cast of the other films including Carey Elwes, Betsy Russelly, Costas Mandylor and Jigsaw himself Tobin Bell. To demonstrate that, we’ve got a new poster for the movie (sent to us by Lionsgate and first debuted on MTV.com) featuring Bell in glorious 3D and complete with exploding head.

The movie tells the story of Jigsaw’s survivors who seek the support of self-help guru and fellow survivor Bobby Dagen (Sean Patrick Flanery). Unfortunately, Dagen is a man with his own secrets and dark past and as a battle for Jigsaw’s legacy ensues, a new wave of terror is unleashed.

Director Kevin Greutert returns for this movie as well as previous Saw franchise writers Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton, who wrote Saw IV, Saw V and Saw VI as well as the very good The Collector.

Check out the full poster in all its 3D glory after the jump. Saw 3D takes your lunch money and tortures you to death on October 29th.

With the news that we will be witnessing the culmination of the Saw franchise this October, one had to wonder if Saw 3D could really be a worthy cap to the series. From the looks of the new official trailer, Saw 3D will not disappoint.

For all you torture porn lovers out there, this film is shaping up to be the biggest and baddest of them all. The magnitude and complexity of the traps previewed in the trailer, as well as the addition of the 3D component, should bring a satisfying end to the world record setting franchise.

Those of you who have come to depend on the Saw films as their horror fix every Halloween will be disappointed by the trailer’s confirmation that this will in fact be the final film. In the film, Bobby Dagen (Sean Patrick Flannery) is a self help guru and Jigsaw survivor who is sought out by a group of Jigsaw survivors who are seeking his support to help overcome their trauma. Unfortunately, it’s Dagen’s demons that end up unleashing the new round of terror.

The film is set to star Tobin Bell (Saw), Cary Elwes (The Princess Bride), Costas Mandylor (Beowolf) , Betsy Russelly (Saw III) and Sean Patrick Flannery (Boondock Saints).

With Saw ending its reign as the top horror franchise, are there any upcoming or recent horror movies that you the Flickcast readers are hoping to see franchised?

Lionsgate’s Saw 3D is opening in theaters October 29. Check the trailer out after the jump and stay with us for more Saw 3D news as it develops.

Not many people know this, but the first Boondock Saints film barely even happened. After a one week run in five theaters, the film was released on DVD… and embraced by a massive cult following. A sequel was always promised and showed up on IMDB years before production had even begun, but after a while, fans started to doubt that we’d ever even see another installment. Now, ten years later, Boondock Saints 2: All Saints Day happened, and thank the Lord it did.

All Saints Day picks up eight years after the McManus Brothers and their vigilante killing spree across Boston. They’ve fled to Ireland, along with their father, to find some peace and escape the insanity cause by their killings. But a copycat killer leaves their signature mark after murdering a priest and lure Connor and Murphy back to Boston to finish what they started eight years ago.

Over at IGN, the trailer for Boondock Saints 2: All Saints Day has finally hit the internet. Screened at Comic-Con back in July, buzz about this sequel has been generating for years, ever since the first film became a cult classic. And now, the new film is almost here.

Ten years has gone by since the first Boondock Saints film was released. Written and directed by Troy Duffy, the film is about two brothers who, after running into their own problems with the local mob, decide to unleash their own brand of justice. The film did poorly in theaters, but became a cult classic after being released on DVD.

Boondock Saints 2: All Saints Day takes up where the first film left off and was written and directed by Troy Duffy. It stars Sweeney MacArthur, Sean Patrick Flanery, Billy Connelly, Julie Benz, and Clifton Collins, Jr. and is set to hit theaters October 30th.

Check out the trailer after the jump.
