“Texas Chainsaw Massacre” franchis Is about to get a new home, and according to the deadline, there may be up to eight freer for the rights to Leatherface and the gang. Right now we know who five of the finalists are, and they have all been given their strengths and weaknesses. Actually, that’s not true. Jordan Peele and Monkeypaw are a perfect match for the material-and after dropping out against Warner Bros. On “Sinners” last year, you can claim that they just flatten this.
With Its Provocative Title and Promise of Wanton Savagery at a Time When Horror Movies Were Starting to Play Extra Rough, It Took A While for Word To Get Out That Tobe Hooper’s 1974 Original Wasn’t a Gorefest, But, Rather, An Integying Expiri Survive – Much Like ITS Protagonist, Sally Hardesty (Marilyn Burns), Who Cackles from the Back of a Speeding Pickup Truck as She Observes The Spinning, Raging Leatherface (Gunnar Hansen) Dently Dently troubles his chainsaw in the distance. Hooper’s sequel from 1986, “Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2,” tilted the script, Slater on the intestines and pig while adopting a much more comic tone. If you have a strong stomach, it is a deteriorating joy of a movie.
When Hooper dropped out of the series, “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” underwent several permutations. The most memorable post after the hooper in the franchise must be Michael Bay-produced “Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” Which Grossed $ 107 Million Against A $ 9.5 Million Budget in 2003. Platinum Dunes Lost Interest in the Series After The Poorly Received (and Financially unsuccessful) “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning,” Which in ThREE TO THREE TO THREE VERY DIFFE VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VIRY DIFTE VERY DIFFERE VERY TO THREE TO THREE 3D “(” Do Your Thing, ‘Cuz “),” Leatherface “and the Unjustly maligned,” The “-less” Texas chainsaw mass.
Since horror is a multiplex -filling phenomenon after Covid, it is hardly surprising that studios and producers stand up to claim this franchise for their own. I am Team Peele all the way, but the other tenders are not exactly sawn liver. Who else is on the way, and who hugs the inside?
Taylor Sheridan, Oz Perkins and Glen Powell also search the saw
There is always the possibility that an interested party is sweeping into the last second with a killer offer, but from now on, the deadline justin is that the battle for the rights to “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” is between Jordan Peele/Monkeypaw, Taylor Sheridan/Paramount, Oz Perkins/Neon, Glen Powell) While the article claims that there is no Frontrunner, Kroll tweeted that Sheridan’s pitch “has been warm in the past week.”
Roy Lee is an interesting figure here, given that he has been an important player in the horror genre since producing the American remakes of “The Ring” and “The Grudge.” He is apparently involved in the A24 -ton height along with “Strange Darling” Director JT MollnerBut this is for a TV show (one like Austin, Texas native, Powell will produce, but not Star in). Lee’s Netflix -Tone Height is For a movie, but there is no word about who can write or direct it.
Oz Perkins has become a horror ravine over the past year thanks to “Longlegs” and “The Monkey”, but he would only be involved as a producer and co -author of Neon’s film. If Peele drops out, I wouldn’t be upset that Perkins is landing the property, just because Bryan Bertino (“The Strangers”) will write and directly. Bertino has not matched the greatness of his first film, “The Strangers”, but he is definitely one of the most original and unpredictable voices that works in the genre right now.
Then there is Taylor Sheridan. Although he was born in North Carolina, Sheridan grew up in Fort Worth, Texas, and has made Lone Star State a large part of his identity via “Hell or High Water” and “Landman.” Sheridan is a television industry for itself thanks to the “Yellowstone” franchise, most of which personally write. I’m not a fan of the show, but people who have been on that trip since the first episode often complain that he clearly spreads too thin. While the deadline claims that he will only produce what he does with the property, I could see him engage on the writing side of things.
This takes us to Peele and Monkeypaw. Why are they best suited for “Texas Chainsaw Massacre?”
Let Peele cook chili
Almost everyone involved in this competition is respected in the horror society, but none of them have made films at the “Get Out” level, “us” and “Nope.” As a producer (who is currently all he would be at “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre”), he rented out a very good “Candyman” sequence to the screen with the Nia Dacosta director. If you have ever read an interview with Peele, you know that he loves the genre, reveals Hooper’s movie in particular and would almost certainly move on with the utmost care and respect for the franchise. In addition, he only seems diametrically opposed to giving film guests what he thinks they want and instead go with his gut.
But most, I just like how Peele thinks, and he seems to be that guy who would most boldly get involved in the series’ socio -political elements. Hoopers “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre” Be perfectly timed to deal with the death of hippie culture in the shadow of the seemingly unstoppable meat grinder in the Vietnam War. America loses again. Badly. I want to see Peele and Monkeypaw confront it with F ***-you money through Universal. Or, you know, just do what he wants to do. He is one of the best horror movie creators living. Let him cook chili.
