The new year will bring us new leatherface wielding his legendary chainsaw in eye-popping 3D. John Luessenhop’s ‘Texas Chainsaw 3D’ sequel is revving up and now both a new image of the skin covered killer along with the first official clip of him in action from the movie, which also features actors Trey Songz and Tania Raymonde (‘Lost’) running for their lives, have landed. The next chapter in the brutal franchise is set to pick up right where Tobe Hooper’s original 1974 horror classic left off. Bill Moseley (‘The Devil’s Rejects’), Alexandra Daddario (‘Hall Pass’), Scott Eastwood, Sue Rock and Gunnar Hansen also star. Head below for the new image and clip.
“The film 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.”
‘Texas Chainsaw 3D’ arrives in theatres in the US from 4 January 2013 and from the 9 January here in the UK. UK-ers can also catch it during advanced previews on both the 4th and 5th of the same month.
