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.
The duo reportedly left the production after Legendary saw early footage from production and didn’t take a liking to it, choosing to now toss it away and start the film from scratch.
The franchise currently has a total of eight films with the most recent entry being the 2017 prequel simply titled Leatherface.
The reboot will be produced by Fede Alvarez, who is known for directing Don’t Breathe and 2013’s Evil Dead, along with Rodolfo Sayagues through Bad Hombre banner.
