Yesterday we passed along word that producer Fede Alvarez’s new Texas Chain Saw Massacre movie will see the return of Sally Hardesty. And within that article was a bit we thought we should point out a bit more – who plays the new Leatherface!
Well, thanks to stellar reporting by our buddies over at Bloody Disgusting, we now know Mark Burnham (Lowlife) dons the infamous dead skin mask in the new flick!
Gunnar Hansen played Leatherface in Tobe Hooper’s original classic.

In addition to Burnham, Olwen Fouéré (Mandy, Sea Fever) takes over the above-mentioned role of original Sally. Marilyn Burns passed away in 2014. David Blue Garcia directs the new film from a screenplay written by Chris Thomas Devlin. Elsie Fisher stars along with Sarah Yarkin, Moe Dunford, Alice Krige. Jacob Latimore joins with Nell Hudson, Jessica Allain, Sam Douglas, William Hope, and Jolyon Coy.
The new film wrapped last year. Plot details are locked in a meat fridge somewhere. But we do know it will feature all practical gore FX. Plus it takes place in the present with Leatherface as an old man. All of that sounds good to us!
In the meantime, remember that co-writer/director Tobe Hopper’s original nightmare began when Sally (Marilyn Burns) hears her grandfather’s grave has been vandalized. She set out with their friends and her paraplegic dickhead brother, Franklin (Paul A. Partain) to investigate. After a detour to their family’s old farmhouse, they discover a group of crazed, murderous outcasts living next door. As they are attacked one by one by the chainsaw-wielding Leatherface (Gunnar Hansen), a hulking madman who wears a mask of human skin, the survivors must do everything they can to escape.
