Strange Darling filmmaker JT Mollner took to Twitter to address the recent news that he’s in talks to revive the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise.
His comment?: “Don’t believe everything you read.”
Whether he’s really not involved or merely being cagey remains to be seen, but sources still indicate that we haven’t seen the last of Leatherface.
In addition to Mollner, Deadline reported that producer Roy Lee (It, Barbarian) was at the forefront of the conversation surrounding the reboot, with Glen Powell (Top Gun: Maverick, Twisters) interested in starring and producing.
Lionsgate and A24 are among the studios said to be knocking at the door of Verve, the agency has repped the series’ rights since 2017.
Launching by Tobe Hooper‘s genre-defining classic in 1974, the Texas Chainsaw franchise consists of nine films across various timelines, the most recent being Netflix’s 2022 legacy sequel, Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
