Leatherface 3D
Twisted Pictures, the makers of the Saw films, are taking over responsibility for The Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies.
Variety reports that the standing per-film negotiation deal had fallen apart between rights holders Bob Kuhn and Kim Henkel (who wrote the original 1974 film with Tobe Hooper) and Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes production company. Producers Andrew Form and Brad Fuller had pumped out two films already, but now it's all changed. Yes, anyone who thought that the Dunes team did a bad job with the remake or prequel and should have the franchise ripped from their sweaty hands and given to someone else can now get happy. Unless you hate the Saw films, that is. Twisted apparently plans to set the new movie in the present day and in 3D, with a script by The Grudge's Stephen Susco. There's no word on whether they'll go back for another crack at the origin of Leatherface and co. But given the company's history with Jigsaw, we'd expect the chainsaw-toting redneck to crop up once a year for around 17 years from now on…

I think you all know what I have to say about this. And I've got three days to move books so...if you want something that's actually creative go HERE. I'm here to rescue your ten dollars.

Well, TCM is kind of theater of cruelty which is where Saw had come from before it got stupid. (Like making Saw longer than 40 minutes).

TCM is my favorite franchise. Though I didn't hate the "re-vision" & prequel as much as most people did, I thought they were dry and had no replay value at all. I still watch the original TCM, part II & III on a pretty regular basis-but once was enough for the "Dunes" versions...
I just hope they don't wreck it too much, it still has potential. |

Producer Mark Burg of Twisted Pictures (the outfit behind the Saw franchise) has spilled the beans about his company's take on their recently announced untitled Texas Chainsaw Massacre project.
In a chat with Shock Till You Drop, Burg said the producers and screenwriter Stephen Susco, who is currently penning the first draft, aim to take the series out of the 1970s and tell a contemporary tale about Leatherface. "It's a 'what if?' It's 35 years later, there's a relative going back. Why is he going back? I don't want to set it in a dusty town. How do we make it more urban but keep that feel," Burg explained. "There will be some relatives, some new people. There's still the subtext of 'are they eating these people?' The whole idea of cannibalism, we're bringing it back."
