Pete Goldfinger is no stranger to
the Saw franchise, having previously
penned Jigsaw about the eponymous villain of the
series. He talks to Write On about servicing the fanbase and what
it’s like to craft the set pieces the franchise is known for. "We
always do the traps last… even though that's often the featured
thing that you'll see in the trailers, mostly what we try to do, in
our dreams, is more of a Usual Suspects kind of
whodunit-y suspense sort of thing."
Pete also delves into his own writing process and rituals.
"Every Monday when I'm working on a project, no matter what, I read
the entire project from the beginning. You might find new things
that inspire you, that will help you, and then you're always on top
of everything so you know what you're writing about."
