With the SAW franchise coming to an end, producer Mark Burg will be joining Carl Mazzocone in bringing The Texas Chainsaw Massacre back to theaters.

Word has it that Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures are putting the finishing touches on Debra Sullivan and Adam Marcus' screenplay for Leatherface 3D.




We're told that the plot picks up immediately where Tobe Hooper's original left off before flashing forward 35 years. There's buzz of a "cult" involved.

Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures acquired the rights to Leatherface once Platinum Dunes and New Line Cinema passed on making a second sequel to the 2003 reboot.

Marcus wrote and directed Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday.

Lionsgate is reportedly in talks with director John Lussenhop to bring him on to the next chapter in the Chainsaw Massacre legacy.

Plot details for Leatherface 3D are under wraps, but supposedly it picks up precisely where Tobe Hooper's original Texas Chainsaw Massacre left off, before flashing forward to present day.

Despite this, the flick is meant to be a sequel to the 2003 remake from Platinum Dunes.

EXCLUSIVE: We've Got the Insane Plot Crunch for Leatherface 3D!
Tuesday, May 10, 2011
By: MrDisgusting


Now that John Luessenhop is nearly attached to direct Leatherface 3D, casting is currently underway for a June shoot in Shreveport, Louisiana.





Penned by Debra Sullivan, Adam Marcus and Stephen Susco, with the most recent drafts by Kirsten Elms and Luessenhop, the seventh incarnation is a direct sequel to Tobe Hooper's classic 1974 film that follows the lead character, Heather, who along with her friends, travel to Texas in order to collect an inheritance.

The spin? What would you do if you found out your cousin was Leatherface, and he was now YOURS? - As explained to me by an insider.






It should also be noted that whomever lands the lead role of "Heather" will be locked in for multiple sequels, along with the town's "Sheriff Hooper," and his trusty sidekicks "Fransworth" and "Deputy Carl Hartman."

It sounds like they're going with the same old song and dance instead of truly attempting something original. But I am intrigued by the concept of Heather "owning" Leatherface.

Hopefully they don't drop that angle and turn it into a horror chase film...

Early Teaser Poster for The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D

Nu Image is at the Cannes Film Festival promoting a number of titles including The Expendables 2 and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D.

We've got some early sales artwork for the latter which confirms the film's title (early reports said it would be called Leatherface 3D, which is not the case).






What's interesting here - besides the font use - is that it appears the film is on track for a summer 2012 release. Of course, that could change.

John Luessenhop will direct the film this summer for distributor Lionsgate.

The font makes me think of the poster art from the 60's drive-in flicks like Two Thousand Maniacs.
