Julie Benz, a co-star in
Showtime's serial-killer drama "Dexter," has joined the cast of
"Saw V," the next outing in the annual horror franchise.
Benz plays a Brit with clothes and hair too proper and
elegant to be a pawn in the latest games of the evil Jigsaw
(played by Tobin Bell).
Production began March 17 in Toronto; an October 24 release
is planned via Lionsgate. David Hackl -- the production
designer on the previous three "Saw" films -- is directing.
Benz, who plays the titular hero's girlfriend in "Dexter,"
recently appeared in theaters with "Rambo."
