John Luessenhop To Direct LEATHERFACE 3D?

Got some inside info from Bloody Disgusting that John Luessenhop (TAKERS) is in talks to direct LEATHERFACE 3D which will be a sequel to the Platinum Dunes remake of TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE. Lionsgate would mostlikely distribute the Twisted Pictures production (Variety).

Apparently Adam Marcus, Debra Sullivan and Stephen Susco have written the sequel that picks up where the original TCM left off.

I think that Twisted Pictures can pull this one off. They certainly have the background of making ridiculously low cost horror movies into major cash cows (i.e. the SAW franchise) and TCM certainly fits into whole bloody mess.

I hope this comes about. Should be interesting to watch it develop! In fact, Twisted Pictures should be interested in buying this site too as we have the word 'Saw' don't we? :-)

Disfigurement + Dismemberment + Death: TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE Goes 3D

Jim here. We all knew this would happen. Horror franchise after horror franchise is now the sole realm of three dimensions - TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE is the latest.

And who better to obtain the rights to the series than Twisted Pictures, home of the cash crop SAW franchise. Variety reports that a deal is imminent after a failed attempt by Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes to sheath the chainsaw bucks.

I couldn't be happier. All these horror franchises in 3D underscores the immersion factor that we enjoy while being startled out of our skulls. Keep 'em coming! :-)
