Tobin Bell, Scott Petterson and Costas Mandylor have all starred in the "SAW" franchise together.
Writer Yasmin Naficy first dreamed about this dramatic story, The Rogue, in 1999. Her dream was about CIA officers operating in Afghanistan, tracking a terror leader.. She wrote a short story then picked it back up years later after 9/11 hit her home town of D.C., and a tape surfaced overseas.
She spent years revising and rewriting the script adding some reality into this moving war drama/political thriller's plot, while carefully building in pivotal moments around real events. This is also driven by her personal experience in the region as a consultant.
Many successful movies - using the backdrop of past real wars - are partially fictional dramas centered around the Vietnam era and the Gulf War, such as Apocalypse Now, The Three Kings, Manchurian Candidate, and others.
