Texas Chainsaw Massacre: New Leatherface Debuts On New Poster

Texas Chainsaw Massacre is hitting Netflix in a couple of weeks here, and the more we learn about the film, the more excited it makes me. Today we have the debut of the new Leatherface in the form of a new poster for the film, standing in a field and actually freaking me out a little bit. That is some great use of lens flare right there; J.J. Abrams would be very proud of you, Netflix. Loving everything about that look for Leatherface as well; they look to have nailed the update. Check out the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre poster down below.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre Is A Direct Sequel To The Original

This is a direct sequel to the original 1974 classic, much like the David Gordon Green Halloween films, including the fact that we are getting an older version of Leatherface, played by Mark Burnham, this go-around. He is joined by Elsie Fisher ("Castle Rock"), Sarah Yarkin (Happy Death Day 2U), Mark Burnham (Wrong Cops), Moe Dunford (The Dig), Olwen Fouéré (Mandy), Alice Krige ("Star Trek"), Jacob Latimore (The Maze Runner), Nell Hudson (Victoria), Jessica Allain (The Laundromat), Sam Douglas (Snatch), William Hope (Dark Shadows), and Jolyon Coy ("War & Peace"), and Olwen Fouéré (Mandy) playing Sally Hardesty. David Blue Garcia (Tejano) directed the movie, which was written by Chris Thomas Devlin. Director David Blue Garcia recently talked about paying tribute to the original and how excited he is for fans to pick out all the easter eggs:

"It felt important to honor the original 'TCM' at every opportunity," Garcia said via email. "John's voice is iconic in the original opening, and we thought it would help set the perfect tone in our own intro. It's also a subtle way of letting the fans know they're in good hands. I can't wait for fans to analyze and find all of the callbacks, some of which aren't even intentional. I swear some stuff just happened, and it's kind of freaky," Garcia said. "I will say that we shot with one of the original, working Poulan chainsaws from the original film. On set, every morning, I would walk by the prop cart, touch it and get its blessing for the day. I wanted some of its '70s magic."

Texas Chainsaw Massacre hits Netflix on February 18th.
