After doing the horror flick One Missed Call this year, looks like Meagan Good can’t get enough of these gorey flicks and will be stepping it up in Saw V.

According to Comingsoon.net, the actress will play Luba, a city planner who comes from an extremely affluent family. Will she be a victim of one of jigsaw’s many traps? I don’t know, but the costars of these movies don’t always end up too good. I also know some of you would oddly enough – like to see Meagan go through that.

Miss Good is working on a number of projects this year, including the film The Love Guru with Mike Myers and Justin Timberlake. Saw V is set for release October 24th…

Check out the preview stills for this upcoming film starring Keke Palmer and Ice Cube. The Longshots follows the true story of Jasmine Plummer (Palmer) who, at the age of eleven, became the first female to play in Pop Warner football tournament in its 56-year history.

The movie is due for release July 25th and also stars Jill Marie Jones, Tasha Smith, and David Banner.

Indie director Melvin James announced to Blackfilm.com at the New York Comic Con that he has an all star cast for his upcoming film Caramel. Lauren London, Chingy, Meagan Good, the singing group Cherish, and Teyana Taylor are some of the folks who have been confirmed. James explains the film’s plot:

‘Caramel’ is a story that I wrote. It’s about two high school friends that grew up together in Jamaica Estates, Queens. They are best friends, and the coolest in school. It’s sort of a love story, a throwback to a film called ‘American Graffitti’. It’s about teenagers and their cars, and their cliques. It’s an all around coming of age story.

  1. Danny

    Wow another Saw!!! That would be different for Megan.

  2. gracious…how many saw sequals are they going to have?

  3. Imma B. Honest

    I wonder is Meagan Good tired of playing similar roles…or is she just happy to be acting?

  4. Dame

    I never got into the Saw movies.
    Meagan doing a movie with JT that a good look.

    Ice Cube keeps doing it big with the movies.

  5. I also know some of you would oddly enough – like to see Meagan go through that.
    —————–
    lol i like Meagan but i hate horror flicks so i wont be watching this.Good luck to her though.

  6. Flygirl

    I happy for Megan and all but I dont think she’s a good actress..
    Looks like Ice Cube is doing his thug thizzle with the movies he rarely dissappoints.
    The Caramel movie interesting..

  7. DA UNDACOVA BROTHA

    Cant wait to see all of these movies..

  8. LOLLYPOP

    I love me sum Ice Cube!

  9. ms_mac

    ….Can anyone believe that Cube went from being a hardcore gansta rapper with …..
    a drip curl to a Hollywood’s superstar? Only in America.

  10. STLCHICK

    Saw is the only scary movie sequence I can appreciate. This is a good look for Megan.

    Caramel should be a good movie but I’m a lil skeptical about Chingy and Teyanna being in it. I have a hard time picturing them as good actors and actresses. Lauren London is my girl though. So I will be checking it because of her.

  11. STLCHICK

    My fault not sequence, series lol.

  12. Truth

    Meagan looks good! Can’t wait to see her in Saw, love those movies!

    Love KeKe and Cube! So proud of them!

    Lauren London very pretty!!!

  13. STLCHICK

    Love, Love, Love Keke Palmer! Akeelah and the Bee was my shit! Looking forward to this movie w/ her and Icecube too.

  14. VickieD

    I feel like that Caramel movie is another attempt to recreate ATL 2. What grown man writes a story about some high school kids that are “the coolest” in school. Sorry Melv, the whole plagarism thing is not working for me today son.

  15. yay*

    im looking foward to the Caramel movie

  16. Stuff Fly People Like.Wordpress.com

    We are Excited about Caramel- Its Another Black Movie that’s not “Soul Plane-ish” KUDOS!!! Ice Cube really outs in that Work!!! Get it KeKe!

  17. Prettygirl90221

    ….KeKe Palmer is doing her thing. I hope she stays grounded and humble.

  18. Juicy SuperStar

    Chingy is such a cutie….

    KeKe is going to be the next Angela Basset…. She is such a great little actress.

    Cant wait to see the movie Carmel. Sounds good. Dont know how he stuck Cherish in it… But ok… Maybe its going to be a sing songy kinda movies since he has Teyana, Cherish and Chingy…

    Meagan should be good in saw… Hope she doesnt die in the first 5 minutes.

  19. SweetThang729

    Good for all!!! Black Hollywood is getting back to work, Nice!!!!

  20. AmiJane

    This seems like a good look for Megan. This is a good chance for her to strengthen her acting muscles.

  21. CARAMEL2

    You go Meagan make that money girl. I like her. I also like Lauren London. It’s nice to see the youngens get that paper.

  22. Lola Am

    The Longshots seems like it will be a good movie, can’t wait! I’ll probably see Caramel just to support a brotha, but it doesn’t seem all that interesting, but ya never know!

  23. Key~Cyra The CEO

    Definitely looking forward to the movie w/Keke Palmer & Ice Cube. Cube has stepped his game up tremendously in the past ten years,,, & Keke stole my heart in Akeelah & the Bee & Madea’s Family Reunion,,,, she has a bright future. I love Meagan Good, always have as an actress, so I’m sure she’ll do a great job in Saw V,,, do u girl I couldn’t do the ish,,, an barely watch em’ but I love my horror flicks. And my girl Lauren London,,,, can’t wait to see her in another flick,,, did a bang up job in This Christmas,,,,, a little skeptical about Chingy but we’ll see!

    as an avid cheesey horror flick fan, i’m happy to see megan getting her horror film esque roles on :) she was good in this movie about snakes down in N.O. that’s online too…there’s a cute young black girl in Prom Night that looks like Gabby w/more top lip and less celeb styling (give her a few years though). I’m all for anything Ice Cube related (Oakland in the house!) and Keke Palmer :)

  25. Shay

    Okayyy….so the whole “Cherish” group is gonna be in the movie. How random. So is Teyana. But it sounds okay, I’ll go and see it just to support a non stereotypical black film.

    I love Keke Palmer, that girl has so much talent. I’ll definitely be looking forward to that movie.

    Love Meagan…hopefully the Saw role isn’t her typical sexed up, pretty girl role.

  26. Tee

    can megan stop doing the ugle mess with her lips it is not pretty!! and i do like the saw movies !! by the way that new riri song is for the birds.. take a exit is more like it :-)

  27. Adrian Clyde

    I’m a huge fan of the Saw series, but with Meagan in the next one, I HAVE to see it. I actually think she’s a pretty good actress (she was good in “House”), but it’s like she refuses to pick good movies for some reason.

    Oh, and supposedly there were six Saw movies already planned. Will there be more? Who knows…but it looks like “Saw” may be the “Nightmare on Elm Street” of our generation.

  28. JRZSFNST609

    OH MY GOODNESS ANOTHER SAW MOVIE ARE YOU FKG SERIOUS!!! DAMN LIKE WHO’S REALLY KEEPING UP W/ THIS.. THE CHAPTER MOVIES DIED W/ FREDDY AND JASON THE REAL OG’S.. YOU CANT FORGET MICHAEL MYERS!!!! … I’M NOT HATING MEAGAN IS BEAUTIFUL AND TALENTED BUT FK IT SHE’S GETTING PAID SO DO IT BITCH… GET THAT $$$$$

  29. Okay…I noticed in another post that there’s more than one Shay, so I stopped being lazy and actually logged in.

    Adding to my #26 comment….did Keke Palmer’s cd ever come out?? I remember seeing her video premiere on 106 and Park.

  30. Damn, I remember a day when actors acted and rappers rapped and singers sang, Aww the good old days!

  31. AND ANOTHER THING, WHEN IS MEGAN GONNA GET A REAL JOB?!!!! How can she be expected to be taken seriously?!

    I still say her best role was in Eve’s Bayou.

  32. 1CrazyMomma

    I’m glad Keke Palmer is doing more films. She’s a really good young actress. her record company really dropped the ball on her. I really liked the album and it could have done well. GO KEKE!!

  33. Pretti _Toni89

    I agree. I bought the album and still ride to Hood Anthem, Game Song and How Will I Know. These record companies SUCK!!

    Ice Cube is fiiiiine!! xoxox

  34. keishe83

    Good to see black actresses getting more roles.

    Keke Palmer is a good actor, it’s so natural for her.

  35. nicholelibra

    I used to like Megan Good. She came out swinging in Eve’s Bayou and just fell flat after that. Although the Saw series is a step over from the typical He Got Served kind movies, Megan’s still playing the same role…pretty girl in distress. The jogging scene in Stomp the Yard is the extent of her acting now.

  36. Nothing But Love

    How many saw movies are they gonna do?? the first 3 were enough.. but do your thing Meagan im not mad at you.

  37. NuAgenda77

    SAW V? Sounds good. I just watched part 4 last night. I know I’m late. lol

  38. MIZZ FABULOUS

    yea the movie is called caramel because everyone gettin casted is light

  39. >>KeKe Palmer has a album out. I copped it for my baby, its pretty cool.

  40. Miss. Tiandez Jones

    love the new films coming out!
    Meagan Good looks exquisite as always, you go girl, get that money!
    Keke Palmer is such a rising star and a great actress. I hope she stays as sweet as she is now.
    Caramel sounds very fun and interesting, especially with its cast. I just hope it doesnt fall flat and generic like most coming of age movies these days. I’ll be keeping an eye out for it.

  41. Pingback: Minority Report / Stereohyped

  42. Nicole

    Meagan was great in Brick an indie movie that got excellent reviews. She’s Black and it’s hard for Black actresses to get decent roles and when one comes along her name isn’t the first that’s going to be mentioned for it.

    Keke Palmer and ICe Cube sounds good

    Caramel=Straight to DVD. I’m sorry Lauren is cute, but I’m not too sure about her acting skills, I’ll give her a chance though.

  43. charlee

    luv me sum meagan good, glad to c she got a job lol

    as far as caramel goes i can tell its goin to be CRAP!!!!! i mean really how many of these high school movies are they goin to make, plus the cast is lookin more like musicians turned actors, enough said…ugh!!!!!!

    cant wait to c Sex And The City the movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! counting dowm the days!!!!

  44. Kill the Saw movies already. 1 was terrible, 2 and 3 were straight but 4 was more garbage. Kill the madness. I think Megan’s days of the “cute black girl” in movies are over.

  45. Nothing But Love

    Keke Palmer??????

    Where have i seen her before?? was she the one in Ludacris video for “Runaway love”??

  46. Te'a

    Cant wait for Saw V…love them all!

  47. Taylor Catrice

    I’m definitely looking forward to all of these movies and I can’t wait until “Caramel” comes out, it sounds really interesting and a lot of fun.

  48. Emma V's Great-Grandaughter

    How many saw sequels are they going to have?

    Keke and Ice Cube’s movie should be good.

    Don’t know about the Caramel movie.

  49. nitetrain

    Ah, That’s why group grew the fro and beard.

  50. nitetrain

    I mean Cube, wtf I typed group…wow.

  51. Drake C.

    Keke’s cd already came out Shay. check out http://www.keke-source.org for more info.
    And yea I am already down to see that Keke & Ice Cube movie. Keke is the shit right now. Love ha,

    Caramel, I am def gonna see that one.

    Not to crazy bout Saw

  52. Drake C.

    46. Yeah, Keke was in Runaway love

  53. tia

    i will be checking for the second and third movie….even tho the third sounds a bit suspect with the people that will be in it…..i mean imma check it out cuz i’m a sucka for ghetto black movies lol

    the first one however….nah i didnt check out 1-4 so 5 is a no go but do you megan….i dislike you less these days lol

  54. BRIANA

    Hopefully Meagan’s character lasts through at least half the movie…she was killed off during the opening credits in One Missed Call :/

  55. the one is back

    The last film Caramel appears to be a straight to DVD film. They need to do a girlfriend movie so I can see how the ish was supposed to end. And yeah months later I am still mad about that too.

  56. the one is back

    At 23 I said the same thing before reading these post. Can any of those people really act, okay Lauren London and Megan play the good looking sassy chicks, but that is just them being them. Any real black movies with substance damn, I need to start writing some scripts since everything appears makeable these days.

  57. Mr Eff

    The Saw movies are going up to 6..I love em,they’re alot better than the rest of these cheesy horror movies to come out as of late

  58. billbill

    She is gorgeous. seems saw her before on a celebrity and millioniare dating site like Wealthy Kiss.c o m or something where people are wealthy and they’re looking for companionship romance or love. But don’t know if it is her.

  59. angela

    Meagan Good is going to be in a film where shes not playing in a black teen ‘drama’/'comedy’ oriented????

    Good look. No pun intended…
