“A whole family of Draculas!”
A24 is launching a new era of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, starting with a TV series from JT Mollner, according to a report over at Deadline. A24 secured the rights for the legendary horror franchise in September through an auction overseen by Verve.
In addition, the source also reports that a movie also is in early development with the same producing team and ImageNation, but Mollner isn’t attached to that project.
Mollner said: “I’ve said publicly that I’m not interested in remaking perfect films, and the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a perfect film. Tobe Hooper and Kim Henkel created something bold, transgressive and truly seminal that holds up even today as the gold standard for horror. When the opportunity for a longform exploration into this world arose, I saw it as a fresh way in, as well as a way to honor the existing folklore. I can’t imagine better partners for this approach than A24. This is truly an honor.”
