“Saw 8,” former “Saw: Legacy,” has a new title: “Jigsaw.”
Lionsgate confirmed the new title to Bloody Disgusting, and it refers to Tobin Bell’s character, who teaches poor souls a lesson by placing them in a series of deadly situations and forcing them to find a way out.

The sequel apparently is set 10 years after Jigsaw’s death, with a new round of deaths terrorizing everyone. A synopsis:
Bodies are turning up around the city, each having met a uniquely gruesome demise. As the investigation proceeds, evidence points to one man: John Kramer. But how can this be? The man known as Jigsaw has been dead for over a decade. Or has an apprentice picked up the mantle of Jigsaw, perhaps even someone inside the investigation?

Or perhaps rebooting the entire story — a possibility made more likely by the fact that this is the first installment not to have a numbered title.
“Jigsaw” opens in theaters October 27.
