The Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise is set to continue at some point this year with Leatherface, a prequel to Tobe Hooper’s original classic – which also makes it a prequel to Texas Chainsaw 3D. French filmmakers Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury directed the latest installment in the long-running series, and today brings your first look.
Below you’ll find an image of Stephen Dorff as Texas Ranger Hal Hartman, alongside co-star Finn Jones. It was recently posted over on Instagram by Christa Campbell, one of the film’s producers.
Vanessa Grasse stars as Lizzy, a young nurse at a mental hospital who’s kidnapped by a group of violent teenagers and taken on a road trip from hell. Lili Taylor portrays Verna Sawyer; Sam Coleman, Sam Strike, and James Bloor star as the potential Leatherfaces; and Stephen Dorff stars as a lean, mean Texas Ranger who has a vendetta against the teen boy who grows up to become Leatherface.
The cast also includes Nicole Andrews, Julian Kostov, Jessica Madsen, and Lorina Kamburova.
Leatherface was written by up-and-coming genre scribe Seth M. Sherwood.
Millennium Films, which was behind the 2013 Texas Chainsaw 3D, is once again producing with Christa Campbell, Lati Grobman, and Carl Mazzacone for Lionsgate.
Synopsis:
In this prequel to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, a young nurse is kidnapped by a group of violent teens who escape from a mental hospital and take her on a road trip from hell. Pursued by an equally deranged lawman out for revenge, one of these teens is destined for tragedy and horrors that will destroy his mind, molding him into the monster we now call Leatherface.
