'Texas Chainsaw 4' Is a Go

up

Texas Chainsaw 3D is killing it in theaters and Millennium Films just announced a plan to go ahead with the next installment of the reboot, Texas Chainsaw 4. Production will begin this year in Louisiana and will include producer Carl Mazzocone, as well as exec producers Mark Burg, Avi Lerner, Tobe Hooper, Trevor Short, John Thompson, Danny Dimbort, Lati Grobman and Christa Campbell.

 

No word on a writer or director as of yet, if it will be in 3D, or if Dan Yeager will return. Also, the title is a little confusing. Why Texas Chainsaw 4? Wouldn’t that mean they skipped an installment in this franchise?

 

We’ll update you on any news we get about the next chapter, until then check out our complete coverage of Texas Chainsaw 3D and the original franchise here.

So there were 4 original texas chainsaw massacre flicks came out in 70's 80's and early 90's. There was the "remake" that kinda followed the same story and charcter line as the Original that came out in 2003 with Jessica Beil. Later in 05 Texas Chainsaw Massacre the Beginning came out with R Lee Ermey and a couple unknowns. That was [supposed to be] a prequel. So at this time we can say Jessica Beil's remake is 2 the prequel is 1. 2013 release is 3 and in 3-d and if not a prequel the new one comming out in 2014 or 2015 will be 4th in the series of revised Texas Chainsaw Massacre flicks. Hope this clarifies #4.

Logically, your theory would make sense, but in continuity neither Platinum Dunes movies count. Leatherface in those is a completely different character named "Thomas Hewitt". Bubba Sawyer (or W.E. Sawyer) is the Leatherface of the new movie and all the previous movies with the exception of 4: The Next Generation, which is Bubba Slaughter. By the filmmaker's rational, Texas Chainsaw 3D follows the events of Tobe Hooper's original (as evidenced by the opening) so that make it Part 2, and this next one would be Part 3. Then again, the timeline in 3D makes no sense as it stands now (1974 to 2012 = 20 years?) so why bother making sense now?
