With Jason Voorhees and now Freddy Kruger taking up residence at Platinum Dunes, it seems that the company has no room left for ol’ Leatherface. Have a look at what Dunes’ Brad Fuller had to say recently on the subject of another CHAINSAW:
“I think the original rights owners now own those rights. I haven’t heard anything for over a year now, but I think they want to go out and make their own Texas Chainsaw. While I used to always hope and pray that we could do another one, I don’t feel that anymore.” Perhaps that is because the last entry, THE BEGINNING, felt like an uninspired cash-in?
Co-producer Andrew Form went on to say, “When we set out to make Friday the 13th, we wanted to do a fun horror film and we really enjoyed doing that. So we’re going in that direction. A Nightmare on Elm Street is not that, it’s a totally different movie but…” Then Fuller felt the urge to chime back in and say, “But you’re not in the basement dismembering people. It’s not a torture movie, something we do not want to do.”
Right, I mean, it’s not like you could also be in a boiler room shredding people too, right? Whatever. Honestly, after sitting through THE BEGINNING, I really don’t feel any need for another trip to yokel-ville TEXAS anyway. Sorry, Leather face. Maybe in another 30 years.
