Yeah, that Curry Barker. The guy behind Milk & Serial and Obsession is taking the reins of A24's reimagining of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I'll be honest: I'm stoked. This is just the voice a franchise like this needs.
Upstart filmmaker Curry Barker continues his mainstream Hollywood takeover with a big new gig: director on A24’s anticipated film reboot of “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.”
Variety has learned exclusively that Barker will take the lead on the project, billed by insiders as a “reimagining” of the 1974 horror classic created by Tobe Hooper and Kim Henkel. Barker’s vision for the famed killer Leatherface and the gaggle of young things he terrorizes is under wraps. The film is being developed alongside a “Texas Chainsaw” TV series from Barnstorm’s Glen Powel and Dan Cohen, and director JT Mollner.
