‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ Hot Packages Revving Up As Leatherface Lurks Again – The Dish
Studios and filmmakers are knocking on Verve's door as the agency is sitting on a bloody good IP--The Texas Chainsaw Massacre--at a time when horror and franchises are the most surefire bets at a post Covid and strike impacted box office.
One of the parties, we hear, showing interest in reviving Texas Chainsaw Massacre is filmmaker/scribe JT Mollner and producer Roy Lee hot off their $3M grossing, 96% certified Rotten Tomatoes cult hit Strange Darling. There would be an ultimate silver lining for Hooper: Steven Spielberg tapped him to direct a horror movie that he co-wrote and produced, Poltergeist, which turned in a massive summer hit in 1982 grossing north of $77M domestic (unadjusted for inflation). New Line launched a prolific 2003 remake directed by German filmmaker Marcus Nispel with Michael Bay producing and pre- Quiet Place Andrew Form and Brad Fuller EPing.
