Member AlbertV Posted July 13, 2011 Author Member Share Posted July 13, 2011 More casting news: Tania Raymonde will play Nikki, Heather's BFF, a small town girl with an attitude. Alexandra Daddario has officially signed on to play protagonist Heather, and Bill Moseley and Sue Rock are also cast. However, the real question is...who is going to play Leatherface???

Member AlbertV Posted July 14, 2011 Author Member Share Posted July 14, 2011 The male lead has been cast and no, we're not talking about Leatherface. Clint Eastwood's youngest son, Scott, has been cast as Carl. I'm guessing either he will be Heather's boyfriend or one of the new Sawyer members. But the deal is for a trilogy, which Nu Image and Twisted Pictures are planning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markgway Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Remakes are more often miss than hit for me... but I thought the Texas Chainsaw redux (from 2003) was one of the better ones and actually came close to matching the intensity of the original. If anything it was a better made film... and yes, Jessica Biel... mmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything it was a better made film... and yes, Jessica Biel... mmm... Well, this isn't exactly a remake. The writers are making it more of a DIRECT sequel to the 1974 Tobe Hooper original, which would pretty much throw away Hooper's '86 sequel, the '89 third installment, the Next Generation, the 2003 remake and its 2006 prequel.

Guest Markgway Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Yeah, I was just commenting on the 2003 movie. I take each one as it comes. I don't always follow the crowd either. For example I prefer the Elm St remake to the Dawn of the Dead remake. Though neither are anything special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AlbertV Posted July 19, 2011 Author Member Share Posted July 19, 2011 Big cameo news!!! Bloody Disgusting has gotten confirmation that the original Leatherface himself, Gunnar Hansen, is making a cameo appearance in THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 3D.

Member AlbertV Posted July 20, 2011 Author Member Share Posted July 20, 2011 LEATHERFACE has been found... Director John Luessenhop announced that newcomer 6'6' actor Dan Yeager will play the menacing Leatherface in the upcoming TCM3D. This is what Luessenhop had to say about Yeager: "[having] huge farm boy arms, a brooding brow. He's quiet, circumspect, and immediately struck a menacing chord with me. After five minutes, I could no longer think of anyone else for the role." And hip hop artist Trey Songz will play the role of Heather's boyfriend in the new movie as well. Bloody Disgusting So far here is the official cast of the film just to clarify: Alexandra Daddario (Heather Miller) Bill Moseley (Drayton Sawyer, Leatherface's father) Sue Rock (Audrey) Trey Songz (Ryan, Heather's boyfriend) Keram Malicki-Sánchez (Kenny, Ryan's friend) Daniel Yeager (Jeb Sawyer/Leatherface) Tania Raymonde (Nikki, Heather's friend) Scott Eastwood (Deputy Carl Hartman) Shaun Sipos (Darryl, a hitchhiker) Thom Barry (Sheriff Hooper) Paul Rae (Mayor Burt Hartman) Gunnar Hansen (role unknown - Hansen is the original Leatherface) Marilyn Burns (Verna Carson - Burns played "final girl" Sally in the 1974 original) Richard Riehle (Farnsworth, the lawyer for the Sawyer family) John Dugan (Grandfather Sawyer - Dugan is reprising his role from the 1974 original) Tobe Hooper (role unknown - the director of the 1974 original is making a cameo) Shooting has just begun in Shreveport, Louisiana.

Member AlbertV Posted August 9, 2011 Author Member Share Posted August 9, 2011 Update...for those who wonder if this will be a remake or a "sequel", Gunnar Hansen, the original Leatherface has posted the following on Upcoming Horror Movies "The opening of the movie is the last scene of the original movie and so it starts right at the beginning. In fact, they're using some of the footage of Leatherface, of me, dancing, at the beginning. They're using that footage as the opening shot, I think. I read the script, it looks pretty good. I can say that because I'm extremely critical of the sequels and the remakes." So this will be an official sequel to the Tobe Hooper 1974 original it looks like.

Member AlbertV Posted September 28, 2011 Author Member Share Posted September 28, 2011 According to Dread Central, Tobe Hooper was offered a cameo role in TCM3D, but withdrew as he didn't show up in time of the shoot. Meanwhile, something interesting has come along. Dan Yeager is not the only one who will play Leatherface in the new movie. Sam McKenzie will play Leatherface in the 1974 prologue sequence that will open up the movie. Yeager will take on the Leatherface role in the present day, when he meets his cousin Heather and her friends, and of course, goes berserk.

Member AlbertV Posted November 4, 2011 Author Member Share Posted November 4, 2011 Here is the official American Film Market synopsis of THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 3D: Twenty years ago the town of Newt, Texas, exacted vengeance on the Sawyer family for their role in assisting and concealing murders committed by the chainsaw-wielding maniac Jeb Sawyer, aka "Leatherface". The entire family was presumed killed when Burt Hartman led the townspeople to burn down their farmhouse, but the Sawyer infant survived and was secretly taken away by two of the vigilante townies, Gavin and Arlene, and raised as their daughter, Heather. It's not until she's in her twenties that Heather learns that she's adopted. A lawyer for her grandmother tracks her down with word she's been left an inheritance. Angry at her parents for lying to her, she sets out for Texas on a road trip with her boyfriend, Ryan; friends Nikki and Kenny; and Darryl, a hitchhiker they pick up on the way.

Guest Markgway Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 The original was very effective (in the second half especially) despite being resolutely amateurish - has Tobe Hooper made a good film since? The remake (the one with Jessica Biel to clear up confusion) was surpisingly good and much more professional - though it's always hard to replicate that raw 70s edge.

Member tenebre Posted January 10, 2013 Member Share Posted January 10, 2013 Well for Hooper I liked: Poltergeist, Funhouse, Eaten Alive, Lifeforce (Dir cut only), Invaders from Mars, the Toolbox massacre remake, TCM2 (taken as a parody) and The damned thing... The ending f the Biel remake ruined it for me.. especially how she all of sudden lost off fear and become tough.. without accomplishing anything.. and the stupid baby.... I just really hate this one minus biel and the ending the cast is awesome though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member TibetanWhiteCrane Posted January 10, 2013 Member Share Posted January 10, 2013 Let's be frank, Poltergeist was ghost directed (pardon the pun) by Spielberg, as Hooper was fried on coke at the time. Spielberg's style is all over the movie, and I see little of Hooper's style, whatever that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for me it never felt like a SS film just has SS influence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
