I'd have thought Saw 8 would have made some waves in a thread like this, in terms of highly anticipated but most likely not worth the attention.
In an interview with IGN on April 12, 2011, series creators James Wan and Leigh Whannell were asked if Saw 3D is truly the final Saw film. Wan commented by saying, "It is finished for now, but since it's such a huge, well-known franchise, it's gonna come back at some point." They were also asked what it would take for them to return to the films. Wan stated, "I would come back if we were allowed to do something different and really cool." Whannell expanded that by saying, "We would want to do something that was a bit of a different take."
Well, this would be good if they stuck to it...I mean I don't think there should be a complete deviation, but perhaps consider moving in a slightly different direction.
One that's not of a big reveal that John actually sawed-together a time machine, cloned himself into the present where he died, and found himself a cure, which de-ages him into his younger self, Doctor Gordon, places some instructions in his pocket, then works out a way to remove his memories and send himself back in time to a year before the events of the first film to become his own "perfect opponent" and end his own reign of terror. When he awakes, the camera pans up to see Zep looking down at him. No. They cannot do this.

Well I found them on a website saying they were the most anticipated but I agree they are also somewhat unnecessary all are remakes prequels or sequels we don't really need. Woll you watch them anyway?

I woll.
Some of them anyway.
Didn't they already have a Friday remake not so long ago?
Can't remember it for the life of me.
It's one franchise that I'd like to actually see them do something new with, but in the right way - Maybe someone will crack what that is.
I might watch if I hear something remotely along these lines has actually happened, but I won't hold my breath.
I know remake - Well, I can imagine it being full of social media and incessant overuse of "modern" technology, smart phones, cams etc...I mean I'd hope not, but hey. Maybe they could set it in the actual 90's again, I dunno.
So it is a remake then, not a reunion type sequel?
Not sure what would be worse.
TCM - No, Well and truly done with it - and I think the last one was just...so fucking shit...I've said all I'm going to.
The Purge - Probably first priority among this lot for me.
Personally I enjoyed the first one quite a bit. It was limited in scope, perhaps claustrophobic but I think these things were used effectively - it was very tense, and just yeah average human on human/society breakdown is just something that hits home a bit more these days for me. Unsettling.
The second one I thought I'd enjoy more, but didn't.
Wasn't a bad movie. Just...it kind of did to me the same thing The Raid 2 did, but to a lesser extent than that - In that the first one was comparatively barebones and limited in scope, and the second one bought in more storyline and locations...and you think yep, that'll be good...then when you watch it, it's like despite the new flavour they bought into the action as it were, by adding more, something seems less...as though it didn't quite gel with the first one.
Don't get me wrong, I liked Punisher-Lite and his whole motivation.
Just, it didn't have me on edge at any point like the first managed to do.
