More quotes from Saw II

Trivia: Director Darren Lynn Bousman had originally started this project as a completely unrelated film based on a script he wrote which he was shopping around to producers. The original script was entitled "The Desperate" and more-or-less followed a similar storyline of a group of victims trying to escape a house filled with booby-traps. Several producers and potential investors who read the script dismissed it as being "Too much like that movie 'Saw' they're making now," and he wasn't able to find any backing. It eventually made its way into the hands of "Saw" producer Gregg Hoffman, who was in early development on "Saw II" after the first film had built a great deal of hype and positive buzz and was shaping up to be a massive hit. Hoffman and the fellow producers realised that "The Desperate" would make the perfect groundwork for a sequel to "Saw", and brought on the original film's screenwriter Leigh Whannell to help re-write the script with Bousman into a proper sequel.
