Pretty cool interview! I only listened to the alternate ending one but I'm glad they stuck with crushing room ending. I always was extremely interested on what the original intentions of the box were and that scene in the hallway, kind of disappointed with what it really was. That ending sounds really stupid to be honest.
I'm not a fan of the "Cult" storyline that they've been trying to get off the ground so I'm okay with it being scrapped. I always thought the box really contained evidence against Hoffman and that that scene was supposed to be Jill confronting Hoffman with all the evidence.
I definitely want to give the rest of the interview a listen. Saw V isn't my favorite SAW, but I do think it's better than its reputation. Plus I think Hackl got screwed over a little bit by the controlling lionsgate/twisted pictures. The main complaint of Saw IV was that it was too complicated, so I think they basically made Hackl dumb Saw V down.
I feel horrible after what happened with him and Saw 3D.
