Texas Chainsaw Massacre is returning with a new film. Check out the details and updates of the latest installment of the popular franchise.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre: What We Know So Far

Hollywood is producing a plethora of reboots, sequels, and remakes of popular
old movies. One of the recent big fish in this ocean is Texas Chainsaw Massacre,
which is set to premiere on Netflix on 18th February 2022. The viewers could
catch a glimpse of the new movie in December when the first trailer of the movie
was released. Significantly, this movie will be the direct sequel to the hit
original Texas Chainsaw Massacre by Tobe Hooper in 1974. Furthermore, the new
movie directed by David Blue Garcia offers a nostalgic trail in terms of its
cast. Here’s a look at what we know so far about the upcoming sequel to the
original.


TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE: IS IT GOING TO DIFFER FROM THE OTHER MOVIES OF THE
FRANCHISE?

After the unexpected success of Tobe Hooper’s unnerving 1974 classic, Texas
Chainsaw Massacre. The villain, Leatherface, popped up in a lot of movies
throughout the years. However, most of the sequels just felt like remakes and
failed to capture the audience’s attention. Earlier, it was revealed that the
new movie won’t be based on the premise of the seven films

of the franchise. Significantly, it would pay tribute to the original film.

Fede Alvarez is the writer of the upcoming movie. His previous works include
directing the infamous reboot of Evil Dead in 2013. Alvarez talked about the new
Texas Chainsaw Massacre in an interview with Entertainment Weekly
[https://ew.com/movies/texas-chainsaw-massacre-netflix-first-look-leatherface-is-back/].

“I think the first movie really hit a nerve when portraying that culture clash
between the countryside and the city. Back in the ’70s, the hippies were
representing the youth of the city. This time, they’re more like millennial
hipsters from Austin who are very entrepreneurial and have a dream of getting
away from the city and back to the countryside. They’re trying to gentrify
small-town America — and let’s just say they encounter some pushback,” said the
43-year-old.

He further added, “Our take on it was this guy probably disappeared after
everything he’s done. You know, how do you catch a guy who has a mask? Once he
removes the mask and runs away, it’s very easy for him to hide somewhere. This
story will pick it up many, many years after the original story. He’s been in
hiding for a long, long time, trying to be a good person. These people arriving
in this town are going to awaken the giant.”


THE NEW TRAILER RELEASE

caption, “This February, the face of madness returns.” Furthermore, they added
the exciting news of a new trailer coming on Monday, 31st January 2022. Check

opening narrator of the original film, John Larroquette, will return to lend his
voice.

John’s narration was one of the key moments of the original film. As the film
starts, the story is branded as a true crime. However, it was just loosely based
on the crimes of Ed Gein

In an interview with Variety
[https://variety.com/2022/film/news/texas-chainsaw-massacre-netflix-john-larroquette-narrator-1235164475/],
the movie’s director, David Blue Garcia, shares the importance of Larroquette’s
casting. Garcia explained, “It felt important to honor the original ‘TCM’ at
every opportunity”.- “John’s voice is iconic in the original opening and we
thought it would help set the perfect tone in our own intro. It’s also a subtle
way of letting the fans know they’re in good hands.”

The new Texas Chainsaw Massacre seems to be engaging and promising. The fans of
the original will surely have a good time streaming the new movie. Are you
excited for the trailer drop tomorrow?
