MPI/Dark Sky Films just released the trailer for the 4K 40th anniversary restoration of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Tobe Hooper’s 1974 classic, to EW. There’s obviously no new footage or anything like that, but it definitely has me in the mood to watch the film again.
They’ve also provided the playdates for the film this summer. The new version of the film will be released in theaters this summer with a brand new 4K transfer, roughly four times the resolution of today’s more commonly used 2K for cinema. This is the only transfer of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre to go back to the original 16mm A/B rolls, the actual film that rolled through the cameras.
