A round up of Texas Chainsaw sequel prequel news
30th Nov 04
 Well, it had to happen didn’t it. With the recent success of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake, New Line have decided to keep the franchise alive by pushing a prequel into production and it is currently lined up for a Stateside release for Halloween next year.
Producer Andrew Form recently spoke to ‘Playing Magazine’, and he confirmed everything was going ahead for a Halloween release and that the film would indeed be a prequel to the adventures of Thomas Brown Hewitt (aka Leatherface) and gang.
“We certainly put ourselves in a box when we cut off Leatherface’s arm at the end of that movie”, says Form. “We knew we couldn't do a sequel, We cut his arm off. We killed Lee Emery, who is one of the favourite characters in the movie. We wanted to bring some people back and we also thought that a lot of people who saw the movie always wondered why [Leatherface] used a chainsaw, and no one really explained it. He just does it. And we kind of tried to explain a little bit in our version why he wears a mask, but we're going to, I think, really show you how the mask originated and stuff like that [in the next film]."
It doesn’t look likely that Jessica Biel will return, now that she’s moving up in the genre world with a possible Blade franchise hanging over her head, but R Lee Emery has confirmed that he has signed on to the project. It is expected to start shooting in March 2005, and to be released 7 months later.
