Texas Chainsaw Massacre reboot potential repetition in the works
In the world of horror, there's been a buzz surrounding the potential revival of a seminal franchise - The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. According to recent reports from Deadline, studios and filmmakers have approached Verve about a fresh project involving the iconic slasher series.
Verve, who has represented the rights for The Texas Chainsaw Massacre series since 2017, has not yet made any contracts or attachments regarding this potential remake. However, packages are being preemptively brought to Verve, including one involving Glen Powell and writer-director J.T. Mollner.
Glen Powell, a native of Austin, Texas, has been attached to the potential return of Leatherface and company in a Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake. Powell, while not having many horror projects under his belt, did appear in the TV horror-comedy series Scream Queens. On the other hand, Mollner is known for his 2023 serial-killer tale, Strange Darling.
The potential Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake involves cinema's most famous cannibal crew, promising a return to the horror genre that has been marked by successful remakes like Evil Dead Rise. However, it's important to note that Deadline's report does not provide specific details about the project.
The article also asks readers if the series needs a new movie or if people should stick with the original Hooper classics. With the franchise standing at nine movies total, the article suggests that only the first two are worth mentioning, as the most recent attempt to recapture The Texas Chainsaw Massacre's 1974 Tobe Hooper magic was unsuccessful.
As of now, the name of the director interested in a possible reboot of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre series according to Deadline's report is not mentioned in the provided search results. Regardless, there's some motion around this potential remake, as indicated by Deadline's story.
This news comes amidst upcoming releases for other popular franchises such as Marvel, Star Wars, Star Trek, DC Universe, and Doctor Who. Whether The Texas Chainsaw Massacre will make a triumphant return remains to be seen. Stay tuned for more updates.
