Linkin Park's Chester Bennington Teases 'Saw 3D' Role

Those familiar with the "Saw" film franchise are fully aware that alarge part of the popular series' appeal — in addition to itsalways-disturbing, gory action or trap sequences — is the veilof mystery that surrounds each film's individual plot. The films arenot screened for critics, and it's difficult to get definitive detailsfrom any of the actors or filmmakers before the film opens.

Such is the case with the upcoming "Saw 3-D." So far, all we have togo on is , a cool-but-creepy and a painful-looking photoof Linkin Park's Chester Bennington reaching out from the brokenwindshield of a car.

When MTV News caught up with singer/actor Bennington recently, wetried to get him to divulge a few details about his mysterious role inthe heavily hyped bloodfest.

"I can tell you that my name is Evan," Bennington offered. "Other thanthat, I can tell you nothing else about the character."

Gee, thanks, Chester. What about the scene you're involved in then?

"The thing that is interesting about this particular scene is thatit's a trap set for multiple people," he explained. "Jigsaw, for thosewho know the films, Jigsaw typically sets up traps for one, maybe twopeople. There are never more people involved than that."

Until now, it seems.

"This particular trap is set up for multiple people, and it's a verycomplicated trap that's been set. There are different kinds ofemotional things going on for my character, but it's very much in thetradition of a good 'Saw' trap," Bennington promised. "And it's in3-D, so there's going to be blood spattering at your face, which issomething that's going to be pretty bad-ass."

Check out everything we've got on "Saw 3-D."
