Since the end of the first Saw, fans have wondered what happened to Dr. Lawrence Gordon, played by Cary Elwes. After cutting off his foot and crawling out of the room, did he survive and get help? Did he die of blood loss? There have been five movies since that have never broached the subject, but Saw 3D, the final installment of the series promises that they will. And that promise is solidified in the first theatrical trailer.

Yahoo! has posted the first extended look at the film and while it goes by in a flash, you can indeed see Dr. Gordon's character in the trailer. While the shot doesn't give anything away about his fate (he appears to be crawling around in a hallway, still sans foot), but it's nice that they are finally going to wrap up a storyline that has been hanging for the last six years.

The revelation of Gordon aside, Saw 3D may actually be one of those occasions where the extra dimension helps the movie's cause. Judging by the trailer alone, they seem to acknowledge it as a gimmick, which will only work in the film's favor. Just like with My Bloody Valentine 3D, this film should just make a point to pour sharp objects and bodily fluids into the audience's lap. Sure, James Cameron will likely get all pissy about it, but who cares? For the first time in a long time we may actually have a fun Saw experience.
