WINTER PARK, FL (PRWEB) April 12, 2006
Full Sail is proud to announce that 2001 film graduate, Darren Lynn Bousman, has been chosen to direct the third installment for the Saw horror film series.
Bousman shook the industry with his first major motion picture release with Saw II, which hit #1 at the Box Office in October 2005. Now he has the opportunity to gain further success with Dimension Films after signing a new deal in late 2005 for two future films.
Lions Gate Entertainment and Twisted Pictures teamed up to bring the film to the big screen just in time for Halloween 2005. Saw II had a .7 million three-day opening weekend last Halloween and had the widest distribution of any film in Lions Gate?s history. The movie debuted as the number one DVD in North America in February of 2006, selling 3.9 million DVDs and PlayStationPortable UMDs. ?After viewing Saw II in theaters last year, it is wonderful that Lions Gate chose Darren to film the third installment,? said Dave Franko, Program Director for the Full Sail Film Department. ?Everyone at Full Sail is proud of all of Darren?s incredible accomplishments since graduating.?
