Curry Barker recently teased that his new Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie will incorporate some familiar faces from the past. Barker also just shared some fresh new comments on the tone and rawness of his upcoming movie adaptation.
While speaking with the folks over at Variety this week, Barker delved a little deeper on tone and teased what fans can expect from his new instalment in the long-running franchise from A24:
“It’s gonna be grounded, brutal, raw. It should be very, very uncomfortable. I just want to nail the tone. I want to make you care about the characters that we’re on the journey with. I want to give a deeper story to whoever is on this road trip. Just like Bear, Nikki and Sarah are characters that you never knew before — I mean, we all know Leatherface and the Sawyers — but what are the characters that I can invent that we can grow to care about. If they do die brutally, we’ll actually be sad that they died. It was something that I had voiced to my team that I was really excited about. I knew A24 had just gotten the rights to it, and I was like, “As far as IP goes, that’s something I would love to tackle.” It was a match made in heaven and all the stars aligning at once for me to to get that one.”
