EXCLUSIVE: TexasChainsawMassacre director David Blue Garcia says a major original prop from Tobe Hooper's iconic 1974 slasher features in the Netflix reboot: Leatherface's chainsaw😨
The director behind Netflix's Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2022 reboot has revealed that the original murder weapon from the 1974 film shows up prominently. After Lionsgate lost the film rights to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise in 2017, Legendary Pictures acquired them, hiring Evil Dead director Fede Alvarez as a producer on a brand new project that dared to obfuscate the already-confusing Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise timeline.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre takes a similar route as David Gordon Green's 2018 version of Halloween. As a legacy sequel, it will take place after the events of Tobe Hooper's 1974 classic, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, following a group of entrepreneurs who hope to revitalize a small Texas town but unearth Leatherface instead. The antagonist is much older now, but still as ruthless as before, intending to kill the people who disturbed his long-standing peace.
Exclusive:"We had this very old chainsaw and I was told it's one of the original chainsaws from the first movie. This is what I was told. So I had a sort of reverence for it. And I will tell you, it's very old and it hardly ever started. I would take 10 to 15 to 20 minutes sometimes of just [revving noises] trying to get it started, and once it was on, we didn't know how long it would stay on because it would just turn off whenever it wanted. It put out these terrible fumes.
Regardless of the director's woes with the old chainsaw on set, it's certainly an exciting Easter egg that will likely be welcome news to any viewers hesitant about the reboot. Often, genre projects that reboot a beloved franchise are met with dismay if audiences perceive them as detached from the spirit of the original. In this case, Garcia and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre reboot team are not just using old props to capture the essence of Hooper's original film.
When Halloween attempted to create a new timeline by following up and honoring John Carpenter's revolutionary slasher, it relied on placating ravenous viewers with nostalgia in addition to new elements. The extent of Texas Chainsaw Massacre's reliance on Easter eggs from the original film isn't clear just yet, but will emerge when it is released on Netflix.
