Kim Henkel, who wrote and produced the original movie and directed Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation, acquired the rights to the franchise.
Bloody Disgusting brings word that Fede Alvarez, who previously directed Don’t Breathe, 2013’s Evil Dead, and The Girl in the Spider’s Web, will produce the upcoming Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie from Legendary Entertainment.
Last year, Legendary announced they would be developing new Chainsaw films inspired by Tobe Hooper’s 1974 original The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, as well as potential TV series.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre franchise centers around Leatherface and his backwoods family, who terrorize innocent visitors trespassing their lands in the isolated Texas countryside.
