Sony Screen Gems’ Major Date Shifts, 3D Maneuvers
Sony Screen Gems has made some major changes in their forthcoming genre slate. Let’s start with the highly anticipated Underworld 4, which is said to no longer be arriving in 3-D. The vampires vs werewolves action-saga will arrive in theaters on September 23, 2011. This is a major delay from the originally announced Jan ’11 date. Scott Charles Stewart’s follow-up to Legion, Priest, will now be arriving in cinemas on January 14, 2011 – shifting from its original August ’10 date – and is also said to be converting to 3-D. Lastly, The Roommate is being pushed out of its September slot all the way back to February 4, 2011. So while 2010 will be a quiet year from Screen Gems, 2011 is set to explode.

Dark Sky Films and Fathom Events are keeping their annual Texas Chain Saw Day tradition alive with the return of Tobe Hooper‘s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre 4K restoration in theaters.
The one-night only theatrical event takes place on August 18, the date the nightmarish events of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre occurred.
Tickets will be available online on July 21, 2026, and at participating theater box offices (locations are subject to change). For more information, please visit Fathom Entertainment.
“Last year’s response exceeded our expectations and proved that audiences still want to experience THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE the way it was meant to be seen — together, on the big screen,” said Justin DiPietro, Executive Vice President of MPI and Dark Sky Films. “We’re thrilled to make TEXAS CHAIN SAW DAY an annual event and continue celebrating a film whose impact on horror and popular culture remains unmatched.”
“TEXAS CHAIN SAW DAY captures everything that makes moviegoing special: passionate fans, a beloved film and the shared excitement of experiencing it together in a theatre,” said Ray Nutt, Chief Executive Officer at Fathom Entertainment. “Fathom is pleased to partner with Dark Sky Films and establish an annual tradition and welcome the Chain Saw faithful back to cinemas for another unforgettable celebration of one of horror’s most influential films.”
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre was recently added to the Library of Congress’ National Film Registry, which recognizes movies that are of cultural, historic, or aesthetic importance and preserves the nation’s film heritage.
In the 1974 classic, five youths traveling through rural Texas fall prey to a butcher in a mask made of human skin and his cannibalistic family. Marilyn Burns, Paul A. Partain, Allen Danziger, William Vail, Teri McMinn, Gunnar Hansen, Edwin Neal, and Jim Siedow star.
More recently, Obsession filmmaker Curry Barker was tapped to helm a new reimagining for A24.
