I find myself horrified to announce that, apparently, there will be another Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie coming out, though not from Platinum Dunes.  This minor gleam of hope is dashed by the announcement that it will be coming out in 3-D.

Word is that producer Mark Burg wants to take the whole Leatherface concept and move it into the modern day, setting it in an “urban” environment and bringing it up to 2010.

This poses some serious boggles as far as that goes–for crying out loud, you’ve got what amounts to a seventy year old Leatherface, unless you try to do something with his age or make him all Jason-Voorhees-immortal or worse yet, introduce a NEW Leatherface.  Sure, having Leatherface run amok in, say, an upscale hotel or the ghetto might be entertaining.  Kind of a deranged Beverly Hillbillies or something.  But there’s entirely too much that could go wrong for me to hold out any kind of optimism on this one.

So will it work?  Only time will tell, but considering that Twisted Pictures is handling this one, it’s quite literally anybody’s guess.
