Texas Chainsaw Massacre Poster # 1 Leatherface & Benny R A Mihailoff Movie 1990

Description

Leatherface in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre horror-film series and its spin-offs wears masks made of human skin (hence his name) and engages in murder and cannibalism alongside his inbred family. As a child, a severe facial deformity ate away most of his nose and made him subject to cruel ridicule from his peers. Prior to killing people, he wore animal hides, cloths and leather masks that covered up the bottom of his face. Later he began to skin some of the people he killed and wore their faces as masks.

Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III is a 1990 American slasher film directed by Jeff Burr and is the third installment of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre series. The film stars Kate Hodge, William Butler, Ken Foree, Tom Hudson, Viggo Mortensen, Joe Unger, and R.A. Mihailoff as Leatherface. The film follows Leatherface and his cannibalistic family stalking a motorist couple in the backroads of Texas.

The film was distributed by New Line Cinema, who bought the rights to the series from The Cannon Group after producing The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. Initially, this film was given an X-rating by the Motion Picture Association of America, which limited the studio’s release possibilities. After the studio made cuts, it was re-rated R, and New Line released it on January 12, 1990. It was refused classification in the UK upon its initial release. It has since been released on home video in both unrated and rated versions.

New Line began scouting locations in July 1989. In a statement, they said they were “going back to hard-core horror”. Burr wanted Gunnar Hansen to return to the role of Leatherface but the parties couldn’t come to an agreement on financial remuneration. Burr turned to his colleague R.A. Mihailoff to audition for the role after Hansen was out. Viggo Mortensen was cast by Burr after being impressed with his performance in Prison.

In August 2018, it was reported that Legendary Entertainment was pursuing the rights with interest in developing television and film projects. The following year on September 19 it was revealed that Fede Álvarez will produce the next film. In November 2019, Deadline Hollywood reported that newcomer Chris Thomas Devlin will write the reboot.

In February 2020, brothers Ryan and Andy Tohill were hired to direct the next installment. The film’s plot will focus on Leatherface who is now 60 years old and it will take place 47 years after the events of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The story will revolve around two sisters: Melody and Dreama. 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”. The younger sister, Dreama, is an amateur photographer, a wheelchair user who is “presumably disabled”. On August 24, the Tohill brothers were fired a week into filming and were replaced with David Blue Garcia. By March 2021, production on the film was said to be completed, according to Álvarez.

On April 15, 2021, the film was revealed to be titled Texas Chainsaw Massacre and was confirmed to have an R-Rating. Mark Burnham has been cast as Leatherface, replacing the late Gunnar Hansen, while Olwen Fouéré will play Sally Hardesty, replacing the late Marilyn Burns. The screenplay was written by Chris Thomas Devlin. The film will star Elsie Fisher along with Sarah Yarkin, Moe Dunford and Alice Krige. Also joining the cast will be Jacob Latimore, Nell Hudson, Jessica Allain, Sam Douglas, William Hope, and Jolyon Coy. In August 2021, it was announced that the film would skip a theatrical release and instead will release on Netflix, on February 18, 2022.
