You got excited just reading that, didn’t you? Twisted Pictures has announced that the seventh installment of the beaten to death franchise will be released on October 22, 2010 (of course). As previously announced, it will also be in 3D. Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton, the writers of part six, will be back again as will the director of part five, David Hackl. Costas Mandylor who has played Hoffman since part three, has also been announced as returning. Don’t be surprised if you hear from us about Tobin Bell and Shawnee Smith returning for flashbacks. He’s hoping this is the last nail in John Kramer’s coffin, but probably not.
