The Company Behind The SAW Films Wants To Bring Us Leatherface In 3-D!!

Merrick here...
Twisted Pictures, who helped realize a whole slew of SAW films, is taking over the TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE franchise recently revitalized by Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes.

The plan is to contemporize the storyline for a 3D film that would be scripted by Stephen Susco ("The Grudge"). Carl Mazzocone, Mark Burg and Oren Koules will be the producers.

Regarding the franchise's departure from Platinum Dunes:

Deals had been made on a per-pic basis with "Chainsaw" rights-holders Bob Kuhn and Kim Henkel, the latter of whom wrote the original 1974 pic with director Tobe Hooper. Talks fell apart with Platinum Dunes. The Twisted Pictures deal is for multiple films, sources said.
