The casting news continues for the Texas Chainsaw prequel known as Leatherface. The Wrap is reporting that “Mr. Selfridge” actress Jessica Madsen has signed on for the flick as the fourth and final escaped mental patient.
She joins the previously announced Sam Coleman, Sam Strike, and Jay Bloor as the potential Leatherfaces; Angela Bettis as Mother Sawyer; and Stephen Dorff as a lean, mean Texas Ranger who has a vendetta against the teen boy who grows up to become Leatherface.
Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo, the French filmmakers behind cult hit Inside, are directing the flick, which was written by up-and-coming genre scribe Seth M. Sherwood (2014 Blood List winner).
Millennium Films, who 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.
