The title may have dropped ‘THE’ and ‘MASSACRE’ from the original moniker, but it appears heads are still gonna roll (as they’re lopped off) in the rebooted franchise horror now known only as TEXAS CHAINSAW 3D. Things have quietly moved forward since we last broke news that the film was in the works, which even gave us an early teaser poster months before the film was shot.
I’ve always been a huge fan of Tobe Hooper’s 1974 macabre masterpiece, and while coming nowhere close to the original, I dug the hell out of Marcus Nispel’s remake, which for me has been the only film worth noting under Michael Bay’s notorious production company Platinum Dunes. This new take will see stunner Alexandra Daddario’s Heather travel to Texas to collect a family inheritance that comes with a rather nasty clause. It will be great to see cult actor Bill Moseley back in the franchise after appearing a Chop Top in Hooper’s original sequel, as well as John Dugan who portrayed Grandfather in the first film.
Now we have the rather genius (and graphic) first official poster design for the film directed by John Lussenhop, that will tear up cinemas from 4th January 2013.
