I really like a lot of your ideas and feel like you're probably on the right track. I just started getting into "researching" all of what has been out there about Saw Legacy, and I'm still extremely confused of the direction they are going in. I've been an avid fan since Saw III and pretty much been obsessed. Still trying to figure out but I think you've definitely gotten a few things right. I feel like they will be harking back to the original Saw.
The barn will be kind of like the bathroom. It will be a game that plays out throughout the whole movie and will most likely involve the two women that were announced recently, possibly more like you said. I can't imagine them doing just 2 people as it would probably be way too similar to the original.
I also think you're probably right about the motorcycle and spike strips stunt, it has opening scene written all over it, unless it's some sort of trap for the police to come across.
At the end of the day, I hated the direction they went in with Saw 3D, it was just such an utter mess and all over the place. That is my big fear for Saw Legacy, that it is kind of a continuance of what they were trying to achieve with Saw 3D. I don't like the plot of having it as being a cult, and I really don't like the idea of Ryan being an apprentice. Just seems too annoying that EVERY victim who survives ends up being a disciple of Jigsaw (obviously not every, but it seems like that's what they're trying to allude to).
With Saw Legacy I'd like to see two things happen. A main trap that is similar to the bathroom, I don't want to see over the top traps like Saw 3D and don't want to see traps similar to Saw III/IV/VI/3D where it is one main character who decides the fate of others or walks from trap to trap to watch people play, this has been overplayed.
Now the most interesting part that I honestly have no clue about is what will be of the main plot outside of the games, and how do they connect. I think you're probably correct about the actors and the new cops. I honestly haven't watched Saw 3D in so long because I thought it was so horrid, but I remember really hating all the new detectives and the main detective in 3D. Lets hope that the detectives are similar to Saw or Saw IV which I loved the introduction of Strahm and Perez.
What I want to happen is I hope that Hoffman has a main role in this film as he's the series most interesting character that is alive. I hate that they killed off Jill in 3D as I always thought she was an interesting mysterious character. I could see this movie kinda being like Hoffman vs. Dr. Gordon in a sense, where Dr. Gordon is crazy and is carrying on John's wishes with some apprentices, and then you have Hoffman trying to get out of the bathroom and track down Dr. Gordon and kill him to stop the madness (as it's always been pretty obvious that Hoffman really never cared too much about the games and the method).
Wow that was a lot of rambling on my part, I am excited for this film, but at the same time EXTREMELY skeptical after the disaster that was Saw 3D. Also, the writing team behind this movie....well let's just say I'm not a fan of their resume, but the directors I'm intrigued by. I wish they would have went with a writing/directing team though that had ANY experience with the past Saw films.
Either way I'm expecting this film to be similar to Saw/Saw VI in a sense that it will be kinda standalone, a lot of new characters, and some very minor but important flashbacks that fans will enjoy. I do believe that Tobin Bell, Costas and Shawnee are back just based on what I've found online. Any other old characters I really have no clue about and really do not want them to go down the path that the public trap victims are behind the masks at the end of 3D.
