As announced last month, Glen Powell will executive produce A24’s upcoming “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” series from Strange Darling filmmaker JT Mollner.
The A-lister spoke to Variety about the highly anticipated project.
“Texas Chain Saw is, I think, one of the most brilliant horror movies. It defined the genre,” said Powell. “I feel that A24 is a place that’s really making such special things, and they’re such a custodian and guardian of quality.”
He continues, “I know we’re gonna do something really special with it, so I’m feeling very, very good. It was a long process to get there, but I know we have something really fun ahead.”
Powell also confirms that, as of now, he only plans to produce and not appear in the series, but he is “definitely gonna be very involved” in the production.
Powell executive produces with Dan Cohen via Barnstorm, alongside Spooky Pictures’ Roy Lee (Weapons) and Steven Schneider (Paranormal Activity), Stuart Manashil (His House), Image Nation’s Ben Ross (Late Night with the Devil), and Exurbia Films’ Kim Henkel, co-creator of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.
Exurbia Films’ Ian Henkel & Pat Cassidy (Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2022) will produce.
A new Texas Chainsaw Massacre film is also in early development from the same producing team, but Mollner isn’t attached to that project.
