A24 won the feature rights to the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" franchise in a heated auction last year, and now they have announced that "Obsession" helmer Curry Barker will write and direct a highly anticipated reboot. The new film has been described as a "reimagining" of the iconic 1974 horror film directed by Tobe Hooper from a script he co-wrote alongside Kim Henkel. Plot details are under wraps.
The new film will be produced by Roy Lee and Steven Schneider of Spooky Pictures, and Stuart Manashil and Exurbia Films' Pat Cassidy, Ian Henkel and Kim Henkel. Ben Ross of Image Nation serves as executive producer. A "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" television series is also being developed by Glen Powel, Dan Cohen, and director JT Mollner.
Barker was best known for being part of the Internet sketch comedy duo "that's a bad idea" alongside Cooper Tomlinson. Before "Obsession", he directed the 2024 found-footage horror film "Milk & Serial", which had a budget of $800 and only took four months to make. After failing to secure a distributor, Barker and Tomlinson released the film on YouTube for free.
Curry Barker is currently in production on "Anything But Ghosts" at Blumhouse, serving as director, co-writer and star. The film centers on two fraudulent paranormal investigators who are forced to face real ghosts, and the lies underpinning their business.
