While we are awaiting Saw VI to open in theaters in October, Lionsgate has greenlit Saw VII and attached David Hackl, production designer of the second, third and fourth films and director of Saw V, to direct the newest installment.

According to Variety, Mark Burg and Oren Koules, who have produced all six of the Saw pics, are back as producers. And scribes Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton, who penned the fourth, fifth and sixth films, are writing the seventh.

Production will start in January.
