We just received an update on A24

• Texas Chainsaw Massacre Director Curry Barker talked a little about his plans for the film
• The new addition to the franchise may contain characters from Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2
• This suggests that Barker is looking beyond Leatherface, the franchise’s iconic antagonist.

In recent weeks, I have been cautiously optimistic about the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre film, especially when I learned that Curry Barker was directing it. We now have a preview of what to expect from Barker’s storyline.

This week, the highly anticipated Barker Obsession hits theaters, with the new horror film receiving a glowing 95% Rotten Tomatoes score from audiences and critics. He proved himself to be a strong new name for the horror genre, and his take on Texas Chainsaw Massacre excited many of us.

In an interview with Polygon, Barker revealed that he was a big fan of 1986’s. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2and he aims to incorporate a specific aspect of that film into his version.

He said: “I don’t want to give up too much – I haven’t even started writing it yet – but I like Texas 2 chainsaw a lot and I think I have a pretty good idea of ​​what people like about this movie. »

“I liked that there was a different tone,” Barker added. “It was like they were on something in the 80s with Texas 2 chainsaw that we’re finally exploring now, which is this weird comedy, but it gets really dark. So that’s something I want to exploit. »

What do we know so far about A24’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre?

Since we’re just getting started, the short answer is little. However, Barker hinted that his storyline might draw on some of the characters appearing in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2. So there’s a good chance we’ll see some underrepresented characters in his film.

“I really liked some of the characters in this movie,” Barker said. “I’m very excited to incorporate characters that we haven’t seen a lot of.”

Considering we’ve seen a lot of Bubba Sawyer aka Leatherface over the years, it would definitely be a refreshing change to have more of the Sawyers and those affiliated with them represented on screen, especially when they’re backed by a major studio like A24.

Based on this interview, Barker Texas Chainsaw could include family patriarch Drayton “Cook” Sawyer and his brother/conspirator Robert Sawyer aka Chop Top. If we go beyond the family, we might even see Lieutenant Boude “Lefty” Enright, who tries to stop the Sawyer murder spree.

Right now it’s just speculation, but I can’t wait to learn more about this film.
