Linkin Park's Chester Bennington Trapped in Saw 3D

10/29/2010
. (Gibson) Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington will realize a dream (or should we say nightmare?) today when Saw 3D�the seventh film in the popular horror series�opens in theaters today. A longtime fan of the Saw films, Bennington is excited to have scored a role in what's said to be the movie franchise's final installment. His side band, Dead By Sunrise, also contributed a song called "Condemned" to the film's soundtrack.

"I'm not allowed to say much about the scene [that I star in], but it was a lot of fun to do," said Bennington, who is trained in theater and aspired to be an actor before taking up music. "I spent about seven to eight hours a day getting in and out of makeup."

What 34-year-old Bennington can say about the film: "What makes this particular trap unique is how complex it is. There are multiple people involved in this trap, which is very atypical for [the film's villain] Jigsaw." - more on this story
