What should we expect from the new adaptation of Texas Chainsaw?
Look
With nine films already on the market Texas Chainsaw canon, it seems like a reinvention is the right way to go. Barker is an incredibly creative director, and his debut was an $800 found footage film called milk and series, which was released on YouTube, to a very positive critical response.
According to inside sources, Barker’s Texas Chainsaw The film will be a “reimagining” of the 1974 horror classic. However, we still don’t know much as its story about Leatherface and his victims is still under wraps.
The film is being developed alongside a Texas Chainsaw TV series from Glen Powell and Dan Cohen, and director JT Mollner, about which I recently expressed my apprehension.
Taking all this into account, it seems like Barker is a great choice to adapt the franchise for a modern audience. We don’t have plot details or trailers to judge yet, but initial reports are really promising.
I’m optimistic about a new era of Leatherface, something I didn’t expect to say after we’ve already had so many movies.
