Gunnar Hansen Dances for Opening of ‘Chainsaw 3D’!
When we originally announced the project last year, we explained that Lionsgate’s The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D (at the time titled Chainsaw 3D) would be a direct sequel to Tobe Hooper’s classic 1974 slasher Texas Chain Saw Massacre (this is the correct, registered spelling, for the last time).
Gunnar Hansen, who played Leatherface in the original film, was on hand at the Summer Fears in Tatamagouche, NS to present a special showing of Massacre. Cute website Zombies Ate Lauren (take a browse around!) recorded some of the pre-show where Hansen made a HUGE reveal about the opening of 3D, which will slice into theaters October 5, 2012.
“[It’s a] true sequel to the original ‘Chainsaw,’ ” he told the audience. “The opening of the movie is the last scene of the original movie. So it starts right at the beginning,”
He continues, “In fact, they’re using some of the footage of Leatherface – of me – dancing at the beginning. [It’s] the opening shot I think.” He also jokes that he’s obviously not playing Leatherface and that it’s not the script he would have written.
John Luessenhop is now filming from a screenplay by Adam Marcus, Debra Sullivan and Kirsten Elms, with Dan Yeager, John Dugan, Bill Moseley, Alexandra Daddario, Sue Rock, Tania Raymonde, Scott Eastwood, Gunnar Hansen, Tobe Hooper, Paul Rae, Keram Malicki-Sánchez, Ritchie Montgomery, Trey Songz, Marilyn Burns, Shaun Sipos, Thom Barry and Richard Riehler ALL starring (weeeewwww).
Before updating the video nasty Faces of Death, director Daniel Goldhaber and writer Isa Mazzei explored the dangers of online life in tech-thriller Cam, their feature debut that was acquired by Netflix in 2018 after making waves on the festival circuit.
At the end of last year, the Netflix exclusive quietly departed from the streaming platform, left without another streaming home.
It’s not an isolated story; Mike Flanagan’s Hush also left streaming entirely for a period until it was finally picked up on both physical media and other streaming services.
While the tech-thriller currently isn’t available to watch on Netflix, Tubi, Hulu, or any other platforms, that’s not a problem for Cam thanks to a very cool move by Goldhaber: the director has made his breakout film accessible to watch online for free via his website.
As his site notes: “CAM is unfortunately not currently available to view on any platforms, so you can watch it here if you like :).“
No subscriptions or fees necessary, just hit play.
Cam follows Alice (Madeline Brewer), who works as an online cam girl obsessed with her ranking on the cam site. The higher her ranking goes, the more it draws unwanted attention, and Alice soon finds herself replaced on her own show with a doppelganger.
Written by Mazzei, a former camgirl, it uses the horror thriller premise to examine the life of a sex worker; Alice’s career ambition is directly at odds with the shame it brings to her family, and how she tries to spare them from it by keeping them in the dark. It only compounds her danger when the doppelganger enters the equation in Goldhaber’s engaging thriller.
For a deep dive into the treacherous world of Cam, listen to Horror Queers’ episode on it now.
