The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Saw 3D (also released as Saw: The Final Chapter) is a 2010 American 3D horror film directed by Kevin Greutert and written by Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan. A sequel to Saw VI (2009) and the seventh installment in the Saw film series, it stars Tobin Bell, Costas Mandylor, Betsy Russell, Sean Patrick Flanery, and Cary Elwes. The plot follows author Bobby Dagen (Flanery), who, after falsely claiming to be a survivor of one of the games perpetrated by the Jigsaw Killer (Bell) in order to become a local celebrity, finds himself part of a real game where he must save his wife. Meanwhile, John Kramer's ex-wife Jill Tuck (Russell) informs internal affairs that rogue detective Mark Hoffman (Mandylor) is the man responsible for the recent Jigsaw games. Two sequels to Saw VI were originally planned, but due to the decline in box office success for the film, Saw 3D was instead made as the final installment in the series. The plot for the originally planned Saw VIII was instead included in Saw 3D. David Hackl, director of Saw V (2008), was originally set to direct Saw 3D, but two weeks before filming, Greutert, who previously directed Saw VI, took over. The film was shot in Toronto, Ontario, from February to April 2010 and was filmed in RealD 3D. The film opened on October 29, 2010, in the United States and Canada. It received largely negative reviews, but was a box office success, grossing $136.2 million worldwide. It was followed by an eighth film, Jigsaw, in 2017. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
