Source: FilmShaft - Plot Details Emerge For Leatherface 3D
Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures are currently prepping a new movie featuring Texas Chain Saw Massacre's Leatherface. The film shall be known as Leatherface 3D. At least that's the idea. It's widely reported the studio cannot use 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' as a title because they don't own the rights. But everybody knows who Leatherface is, so they won't be losing any sleep over it.
The twist here is the flick is bigging itself up as a direct sequel to events in Tobe Hooper's classic horror. Interesting stuff. Bloody Disgusting recently heard the general gist of the plot and it goes a little something like this: A young girl named Heather travels to Texas with her friends to collect an inheritance. Turns out part of it involves taking care of Leatherface. Cue Everybody's Talkin' by Hary Nilsson.

Leatherface is a bit of an icon. Ever since terrorising those poor kids in Tobe Hooper's masterful low budget horror The Texas Chainsaw Massacre he's appeared on and off in sequels ever since. But we've never had his patchwork human skin face and chainsaw in 3D before!
Yes, Leatherface 3D is a go movie brought to us by Twisted Pictures after Platinum Dunes gave up the rights. Phew! It's been ages since we reported on this project and now it's gone and bagged and tagged itself a director in the form of John Luessenhop. Who? He directed the Paul Walker flick Takers.
Writer Stephen Susco, Deborah Sullivan and Adam Marcus have all been working on the script at various stages but where does this fit into the grand mythology? Will it ignore the remakes and sequel produced by Platinum Dunces?...
