This is where it started.
 
The opening trap of SAW II — the infamous Venus Flytrap sequence — the moment that told audiences we weren’t pulling back… we were pushing further.
 
This lot includes:
 
• The original screenplay pages from the opening scene (dated 4/04/05), marked “CONFIDENTIAL,” printed on pink production draft paper.
 
• My handwritten notes in the margins, as I worked through tone, pacing, camera movement, and how brutal we were willing to go in the first five minutes. You can literally see the thinking happening in real time.
 
• Two original pieces of concept art for the Venus Flytrap device — the early design sketches that helped define the look and mechanics of one of the franchise’s most iconic traps.
 
The Flytrap wasn’t just a trap — it was a statement. It set the bar for the film and announced that SAW II would escalate everything: scale, brutality, psychological pressure, and spectacle.
 
What you’re holding here is the birth of that escalation.
 
You can see the evolution from page to production — the trap as imagined, then designed, then executed. It’s a rare glimpse into the process: the script draft before final polish, the notes before the camera rolled, and the art before it became steel and blood.
 
For SAW fans, this is foundational mythology.
 
For collectors, this is a true one-of-one production artifact.
 
For filmmakers, it’s a snapshot of the moment a sequel decided to become bigger than its predecessor.
 
Opening trap. First scene. First statement.
 
This is where SAW II began.
