The trailer for Texas Chainsaw 3D didn't really do anything for me, but I really like this new poster for the film giving us a terrifying look at Leather Face. The poster was released as a NYCC '12 exclusive. One of the latest bits of other news I heard recently about the movie was that it would also include footage from the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie, so that's pretty cool. It will be interesting to see how they implement it.
The story centers on a young woman named Heather who discovers that she's a direct descendent of the insane Sawyer family from Tobe Hooper's original film, and she goes back to Newt, Texas to learn a little more about her family history.
Several of the original cast members from the first movie have returned for this one including John Dugan who will reprise his role as Grandfather, Marilyn Burns, Bill Moseley and Gunnar Hansen. It also stars Alexandra Daddario, Tania Raymonde, Sue Rock, Scott Eastwood, Trey Songz, Keram Malicki-Sanchez, Shaun Sipos, Thom Barry, Paul Rae and Richard Riehle.
The movie comes out on January 4th, 2013. To watch the trailer for the movie again, or see it for the first time, Click Here!
Here's the Synopsis:
Lionsgate's TEXAS CHAINSAW 3D continues the legendary story of the homicidal Sawyer family, picking up where Tobe Hooper's 1974 horror classic left off in Newt, Texas, where for decades people went missing without a trace. The townspeople long suspected the Sawyer family, owners of a local barbeque pit, were somehow responsible. Their suspicions were finally confirmed one hot summer day when a young woman escaped the Sawyer house following the brutal murders of her four friends. Word around the small town quickly spread, and a vigilante mob of enraged locals surrounded the Sawyer stronghold, burning it to the ground and killing every last member of the family--or so they thought. Decades later and hundreds of miles away from the original massacre, a young woman named Heather learns that she has inherited a Texas estate from a grandmother she never knew she had. After embarking on a road trip with friends to uncover her roots, she finds she is the sole owner of a lavish, isolated Victorian mansion. But her newfound wealth comes at a price as she stumbles upon a horror that awaits her in the mansion's dank cellars...
