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.
