‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ Writer/Director Curry Barker Wants To Explore Leatherface’s Family: “Some Really Messed Up Stuff Happening At That Farm”

As a new filmmaker offering a new take on Leatherface more than 50 years after the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Curry Barker recently teased his plans for the reboot.

The YouTube comedian and filmmaker, who was announced as the writer and director of the upcoming reimagining last month, explained that he’s intrigued by “the uncomfortability of the family” that raised the chainsaw-wielding serial killer.

“I think of it as respecting the source material,” he told Total Film. “I absolutely love the original film, but I want to do something that’s different. I’m not gonna stray away too far from what we know, but just making it stronger.”
