Well folks it’s another day, so you know what that means right? Another casting update for THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 3D! It seems like we’re getting one cast member every day, doesn’t it? So who’s the latest to join the battle against the great ‘Leatherface?’
How about Clint Eastwood’s son Scott? That’s right folks, according to Deadline New York Scott Eastwood has just signed on to star in THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 3D. But that’s not all! Apparently Eastwood has signed on to star in all three films of this new trilogy. He’ll be playing the male lead, a character named ‘Carl.’ So there’s that.
The new film, set today, will see the authorities and some angry townspeople ambushing the Sawyer home – where Jeb Stuart is accused of carrying out his butchering.
Hooper, the local by-the-book sheriff, had agreed to give Leatherface/Jeb Sawyer a fair trial and grant him a good lawyer…. But that’s before local mayor Burt Hartman, an imposing town tough-guy, arrives with a mob to see that the murderer/s don’t even make it past their front door. Though they both want justice, Hooper and Burt have different methods. Things escalate when Burt’s mob start tying ropes to trees, prepping for a hanging, and ultimately throw a flaming cocktail into the Sawyer home… burning the place, and it’s residents, to the ground.
Goodbye Sawyers… goodbye Leatherface?
You can guess what happens next : The Chainsaw killings start up again (there’s a fun sequence at a carnival where our villain starts chopping away at the attendees) and Hooper is forced to believe that Jeb Stuart somehow survived the fire and is back for revenge. But is it Jeb? And if not, who is it? and why have they surfaced?
To entice the young ones, there’s a young heroine in the film, Heather who – Halloween H20 should maybe get a ’special thanks’ in the credits – learns she has a disturbing connection to the murderous Sawyer. Heather’s a bit of a hornbag but possibly more disturbing is her taste for things of a darker nature (not just referring to her boyfriend either) – like her art pieces which border on revolting. Still, there’s good in this family member and enough intelligence and determination to find out what’s really going on..
Eastwood (above) joins the already cast Tania Raymonde, Sue Rock, Alexandra Daddario and Bill Moseley with John Luessenhop directing. THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 3D is set to start production in Louisiana this week with an October 5, 2012 release date already tapped.
