《电锯惊魂》系列电影的制作人近日表示,该片有望作为“最成功的恐怖电影系列”被载入《吉尼斯世界纪录》。这位制作人表示,能够击败《十三号星期五》、《艾姆街恶梦》以及《德州电锯杀人狂》等恐怖影片进入吉尼斯,是对整个制作团队的一个肯定。《电锯惊魂》是2004年出品的恐怖片,至今已推出六部,都是在每年万圣节与观众见面。到目前为止,该系列电影的全球票房已经达到7.3亿美元,影片DVD销量也超过了3000万张。《电锯惊魂7》,也就是该系列的最后一部影片,预计将在2010年10月29日登陆北美影院。据悉,这一集将主打3D效果,并且会在影片中解答前六部留给观众的悬念,完成影片的最后使命。

The "Saw" horror movie franchise is getting a place in the Guiness World Records as the "Most Successful Horror Movie Series," one of the film's producers, Mark Burg, said on Thursday.

The "Saw" horror movie franchise is getting a place in the Guiness World Records as the "Most Successful Horror Movie Series," one of the film's producers, Mark Burg, said on Thursday.

"I'm still in shock," Burg told Reuters. "The fact that we beat out (such horror franchises as) 'Friday the 13th,' 'Nightmare on Elm Street,' 'Halloween' and 'Texas Chain Saw Massacre' is a testament to our cast, crew and our partners at Lionsgate."

The franchise consists of six movies, each one having come out consecutively every Halloween since 2004. The seventh, and final, installment is due out October 29th and will be featured in 3D.

Collectively, the "Saw" films have made over $730 million (£478 million) at the worldwide box-office and sold more than thirty million DVDs, according to distributors Lionsgate.

The films centre around a killer named Jigsaw who puts his victims through psychological torture before killing them.

Burg said it was during the production of "Saw 2," that the producers decided to "etch out" one long story spanning seven films. Therefore, after the seventh movie, called "Saw 3D", there will be no other movies, including spin-offs or prequels.

"We are done; this is it," he said. "We don't want to be that boxer who fought one too many fights."

Burg said the seventh chapter was always "anticipated" by fans as the final one.

"In every 'Saw' movie, we left questions open and in this movie we answer every question the audience has ever had," Burg said, adding that even new viewers will be able to follow and "get caught up to speed."

The Guinness presentation will take place at San Diego's Comic Con convention on Friday. London-based Guinness Editor-in-Chief Craig Glenday will be on hand to present the award to the film's producers.
