Saw, Leatherface, Saw
Recently, Hollywood has literally been overwhelmed by the fashion for remakes and reboots of cult horror movies. According to Bloody Disgusting, in the coming years, horror fans will have another meeting with the famous film maniac Leatherface.The first part of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise was released in 1974. Tobe Hooper's horror film received very controversial press reviews, but earned more than $ 30 million on a modest budget of $ 83 thousand. Over the years, many critics changed their attitude towards the film and began to call it one of the best slashers in the history of cinema. To date, the franchise has grown to eight films. The last time her heroes were on the big screens last fall. The tape "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: Leatherface" was filmed in the summer of 2015, but the management of the Lionsgate studio chose to delay its release. As a result, the 1974 prequel movie first appeared in online cinemas, and only then got into limited distribution.  The delay in release meant that rights for the franchise passed from Lionsgate bosses to writer and producer of the original Carnage, Kim Henkel. According to insiders, at the moment the creator of the film series is considering cooperation offers from several well-known Hollywood studios. The favorite in the fight for the rights to the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is Legendary. Rumor has it that its management already has a clear plan for the development of the franchise, which may include not only new films, but also a multi-part drama about the adventures of Leatherface. Modern television is very willing to accept creepy guests from the big screen: in 2015, MTV successfully launched a series based on "The Scream", and very soon the TV version of "Judgment Night" will debut on the USA Network.  New projects based on the "Massacre" can become part of an even larger MCU. In the middle of this month, Legendary resumed its partnership with Warner Bros., which owns the rights to A Nightmare on Elm Street. WB bosses are also not averse to getting involved in the fight for Friday the 13th. It is possible that in the coming years, under the control of Legendary and Warner Bros. there will be three famous horror franchises at once. In this case, the audience will surely be waiting for a new cinematic universe with the participation of Leatherface, Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees.
