RW509 - Texas Chainsaw Rewatch - Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022)

 


In this episode of The Texas Chainsaw Rewatch, Cory and Eoghan are in it for the good clean living as they discuss "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" (2022).

Our favourite Trivia:

Initially during the development of Leatherface (2017), the producers had the film rights and intention to make five more Texas Chainsaw Massacre films. In April 2015, producer Christa Campbell stated that the fate of the potential sequels would largely depend on the financial and critical reception to Leatherface. By December 2017, Lionsgate and Millennium Films had lost the film rights, due to the amount of time it took to release Leatherface, and in August 2018, it was reported that Legendary Pictures had entered preliminary negotiations to purchase the film rights to Texas Chain Saw Massacre, with the studio intending to adapt television and film installments.


Fede Álvarez spoke about this film's relation to the other sequels, that the film does not explicitly erase the continuity of them, saying: "When movies do that, sometimes it feels a bit disrespectful to all the other films. Some people love Texas Chainsaw 2. I love a lot of things about that movie -- it's so wacky and of its time. But the rest is such a mess canon-wise. I think it's up to you to decide when and how the events of the other movies happen."


On August 24, 2020, initial directors and brothers Ryan Tohill and Andy Tohill split from the project during the film's first week of production in Bulgaria. The duo was replaced with David Blue Garcia, who scrapped and reshot the previous footage. Original Cinematographer Angus Mitchel, who worked with the Tohill’s on The Dig, left the production as a result and was replaced with Ricardo Diaz.


Moe Dunford starred in The Dig, which was a film by the original directing duo Ryan Tohill and Andy Tohill.


John Larroquette narrates the opening of the film, as well as the original in 1974 and the remake in 2003.


Sally's barn and house, seen during her introductory scene when she receives the phone call about Leatherface returning, are sets from the production of Rambo: Last Blood (2019).


The film is only 73 minutes long without credits, and 81 with the post credits scene.


The film was initially slated for a theatrical release in 2021, but all plans were scrapped after a string of disastrous test screenings. It was subsequently sold to Netflix, where it eventually debuted in February 2022.
