According to the latest casting call, the new Leatherface is listed as a non-speaking role and “primarily expresses himself with guttural noises that range from a howling belly laugh to a pig-like squeal. His time is spent inside watching TV, which is something that triggers his laughter. It’s also revealed that he shields his face in an effort avoid his picture being taken.”
They continue on to reveal: “The one person who can calm Kenny’s tantrums is Mrs. Mc. She is 70-80 years old and seems to actually be a warm, honest lady who has fostered abandoned children for decades. They are casting all ethnicities for Mrs. Mc, who despite having a positive outlook, is on the verge of being evicted from her rural Texas home.”

And finally, the story follows two sisters, Melody and Dreama. The older sister, Melody, is a 25-year old San Francisco moneymaker who drags her younger teenage sister with her to Texas on a business trip, out of fear of leaving her alone in the city. On the other hand, Dreama is an amateur photographer and it should be noted is wheelchair-bound and presumably disabled.”
Ryan and Andy Tohill will direct the reboot from a screenplay by newcomer, Chris Thomas Devlin.
