Legendary has halted production on the upcoming Texas Chainsaw Massacre reboot, as it parts ways with directors Ryan and Andy Tohill over creative differences, and hiring David Blue Garcia to direct
The departure of the twin brothers came only a week into production in Bulgaria. Texas-based Garcia, who made his feature directorial debut with 2018’s Tejano, will start the production over from scratch. Elsie Fisher is starring along with Sarah Yarkin, Jacob Latimore, and Moe Dunford.
The original 1974 movie follows “two siblings and three of their friends en route to visit their grandfather’s grave in Texas. They end up falling victim to a family of cannibalistic psychopaths, led by the character Leatherface. Tobe Hooper shot the original film in Round Rock, Texas, with a crew of Austin film students and recent graduates.”
The film debuted in drive-ins and eventually grossed $30 million and has become one of the most beloved horror films of all time.
