Andrew Form and Brad Fuller, the producers of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" remake, discussed their currently developing "Chainsaw" prequel with Now Playing Magazine. The two talk about exploring Leatherface's origins:
Form confirms "It is a prequel, hopefully Halloween next year it will be released - that’s our date. We’re going to go backwards, obviously, a couple of years, trying to answer [questions about the character]. That one’s happening fast. Faster than I thought".
The sequel idea was never on the cards funnily enough - "We cut [Leatherface’s] arm off. We killed Lee Ermey, who is one of the favorite characters in the movie [as the evil sheriff]. We wanted to bring some people back and we also thought that a lot of people who saw the movie always wondered why [Leatherface] used a chainsaw, and no one really explained it. He just does it. And we kind of tried to explain a little bit in our version why he wears a mask, but we’re going to, I think, really show you how the mask originated and stuff like that [in the next film]."
Don't expect too many flowery moments though - "It’s not going to be a family drama where you see how this kid grew up and all that. It still has to be what our last movie was, which we felt was fun and exciting and scary and kind of a ride. We still want to do that."
