The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is due for a television adaptation executive produced by Glen Powell, multiple media outlets report.
The series, which is being developed by A24, will be directed by JT Mollner, known for his work on The Long Walk, per The Hollywood Reporter.
“I’ve said publicly that I’m not interested in remaking perfect films, and the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a perfect film…. When the opportunity for a long form exploration into this world arose, I saw it as a fresh way in, as well as a way to honor the existing folklore,” Moller told The Hollywood Reporter. “I can’t imagine better partners for this approach than A24. This truly is an honor.”
Powell called the movie, which was released in 1974, “one of my favorite films,” Deadline reported.
