He Never Dies
According to Fangoria, David Yarovesky (Brightburn) is attached to write and direct He Never Dies, a horror film about an undying man who returns “bigger,” “stronger,” and “less human” each time he’s killed, at Gary Dauberman’s production company, Coin Operated.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Speaking at Neon’s The Next Wave of Horror panel at San Diego Comic-Con (via Bloody-Disgusting), Osgood Perkins discussed his take on the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise he’s “certainly in the conversation” to direct the next installment of.
My producing partners and I, we went down a path with Texas Chainsaw. To be honest with you, I don’t know what’s happening with it, but we were certainly in the conversation for it. What’s lovely about these people who own the rights — it’s the original writer [Kim Henkel] — is that they really care about Leatherface. There’s a fondness about his character and the idea that he saw bad things when he was younger, and because he is neurodivergent, he had his difficulties processing, and that’s when turned him into a quote ‘monster.’ It goes back to Frankenstein or wherever you want to be with monsters that are usually the misunderstood, sensitive type. I think your idea is beautiful. I don’t see any reason why not. The rights holders provided us with a guide book that they had put together. ‘These are the things that we think are important, these are the things we’d love to see, these are the things we don’t like,’ so on and so forth. One of the things was ‘Leatherface should never have a love interest.’ My partners and I were like, ‘Well, now you’ve said it!’
