He’s been part of the movie series since the beginning, but although Jigsaw (Tobin Bell) is dead the significance of Billy the Puppet has never been truly explained. In the forthcoming Saw movies however, his importance will be revealed as will the real meaning of his tricycle. "I can tell you that the tricycle that has appeared in all four ‘Saw’ films has a very simple and human explanation to it which I hope that in V and VI we will both understand and have a window into," said Bell. "The origins of Billy, the meaning of that, I think you will see when you see IV that we've started to enter into that area. I think there is some marvelous storyline yet to be told." The Saw franchise has already lasted four movies and some fans are asking the question why has Bell decided to deal with these elements now. The answer quite simply is because there are fans out there that do want to know their meaning and because they are integral to the stories. "I think those two objects are simple things and everyone kind of has seen Billy since the beginning,” he continued. “Well, what is that? And why? Although perhaps you don't think about it, it has its effect on you. He has his effect and the tricycle has its effect when it enters the scene. I'm interested to show what those origins are. I think fans are really interested in known what the origins of very specific moments, especially Saw fans who are into the details. They just are. I'm always impressed with that."
