While pre-production ramps up for the May 18th shoot, yet another name has joined the growing cast of Leatherface, the prequel to Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.

The film centers around a violent teen who one day will become Leatherface. He escapes from a mental hospital with three other inmates, kidnaps a young nurse and takes her on a road trip from hell. Along the way, they are pursued by an equally deranged lawman out for revenge.

Just yesterday we told you that British up-comer Sam Coleman has been cast as ‘Bud,’ one of boys who escape from the home for delinquent youths. The other two boys are Sam Strike, who was cast as ‘Jackson,’ with James Bloor starring as ‘Ike,’ a budding young maniac of his. One of them become Leatherface.

TheWrap is reporting that “Mr. Selfridge” actress Jessica Madsen has landed the role as the fourth and final escaped mental patient.

We also broke the news right here on Bloody that Stephen Dorff will play ‘Texas Ranger Hal Hartman’, a lawman described to us as a lean, mean Texas Ranger who has a vendetta against the teen boy who grows up to become Leatherface, while Angela Bettis was cast as Mother Sawyer.

Back on Halloween Bloody broke the news that Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo, the duo behind the slasher masterpiece Inside (À l’intérieur), as well as Livide and the forthcoming Among the Living, will be helming Leatherface for Millienum and Lionsgate.

Leatherface is being produced by Christa Campbell and Lati Grobman (interview), alongside Carl Mazzocone after they successfully resurrected the franchise with the 2013 Texas Chainsaw 3D. Les Weldon is also a producer on the project, which is being executive produced by Millennium’s Avi Lerner, Trevor Short, Boaz Davidson, John Thompson, Mark Gill and Beth Bruckner O’Brien.
