So the casting for John Luessenhop’s THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 3D has been coming at us pretty steadily, hell barely a day goes by without an article regarding TCM: 3D. So why would that change today?
Unlike previous updates though, today’s news isn’t a casting announcement but actually one of the cast talking about the film. About time for a little change right? You see Entertainment Weekly caught up with TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 3D star Alexandra Daddario recently and asked her a bit about the flick. Check out her response:
“[My character] finds out she isn’t who she thought she was and discovers what she has to do with the family in the original [movie]. It keeps you guessing. It’s more of a mystery than the original.”
I know, nothing worth writing home about but at least it’s better than another unknown name getting cast, right?
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 (including Jeb’s father, Drayton, played by Bill Moseley), 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..
Along with Daddario the flick is also set to star Scott Eastwood, Alexandra Daddario, Tania Raymonde, Bill Moseley, Sue Rock, Tobe Hooper and Gunnar Hansen. It’s set to hit theaters everywhere on October 5, 2012 so expect a lot more TCM updates soon!
