Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) Prequel Offically Announced

New Line Cinema and Platinum Dunes have announced they are doing the Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) Prequel with

writers: Sheldon Turner and David Schow
directeor: Jonathan Liebesman (Darkness Falls)

Let bloody chainsaw hecklings BEGIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If the director's credential is Darkness Falls, this movie is doomed!

Pointless, and runs a really big risk of ruining the mystique of the original. Creative wise, it looks bleak. David Schow did write "The Crow" and "Leatherface" screenplays, though.

He wrote Leatherface, is that a good thing? I've never seen it and I've only heard bad things.

The director doesn't give me high hopes for it, lets hope Darkness Falls was a one off boo boo.

as bad of an idea this is, it is no more pointless than the remake.

"directeor: Jonathan Liebesman (Darkness Falls)"

Casting this guy is a greater insult to the film then anything I could ever say.

For what it's worth, "Leatherface" is the least spoofiest of the 3 TCM sequels.

do we really need to see what happened before the events of TCM
no we dont

I wouldnt mind,could be interesting. Maybe they could write a book about it instead if making a film.

I think the remake is more pointless, in a prequel they might at least create something new and interesting to add to the story and mythology

That's true. We don't have an original movie to compare this prequel to.

the article i read stated that we will learn of Leatherface's origin in the prequel

Why do they need to keep Tarnishing the good name of the original?

Damnit! after the failed TCM remake, and that crap wich I found in the garbage can the other day(Darkness falls) we get the worst thing that could happen to TCM, I will not watch it thats for damn sure
