First still from the upcoming TCM3D, supposedly a direct sequel to Hooper's original.

i saw it at the Swiss Centre off Leceister Sq

James Ferman (complete idiot) banned the film esp on video years later due to the intense final scenes w/Marilyn Burns being chased by Leatherface


He later said he would show the film to the middle lasses but not to the working classes
an example of snobbery which we will always have to put up

I think The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was banned more for its title, than for its actual content.

I think Ferman was sub-normal actually....

Trailer.
Opinions?

[Edgeworth]

Trailer is pretty bad. I like the poster that's on the side of buses though.

Probably gonna go see it anyway, hopefully the 3D will be good.

[The Reaper Man@Cult Labs]

Yeah,the bus poster will probably be more entertaining than the film!

At the risk of sounding like a stuck record......If it ain't broken,don't TRY and ****ing fix it.

The money,time and effort would be better going into something original,even if it did kick off a new franchise.

What do you do in Holly-WOOD to qualify as a screenwriter these days?

Sit strapped to a chair,eyes clamped open,injected with anphetamines little Alex style and be subjected to all the classic horror movies that haven't been re****ed,sorry reimaged yet?

What's next The Exorcist with the Hoff?
Don't Look Now with Jordan?

[gag]

Don't know if this will make sense I know what I mean bit prob won't explain very good,
Film look pretty rubbish it has the to much Hollywood look and I don't like my horrors to have that I like them to look like they was just randomly made with passion where the quality of the pic is dark and bleak not bright and sunny and have the loads of money spent on it,
If that makes sense,

Horribly random Modern Horror crap, I'd say...

Greetiings!

[Wes]

This one looks like it ticks the boxes....

- dope-smoking, slightly slutty girl loses her clothes and her life...horribly.
- assh0le boyfriend offends the delicate sensibilities of the locals with his high falutin' city ways.
- token black character gets racially abused by locals (signifying that these are nasty sinister people).
- Quirky low-budget Zooey Deschanel type lead actress terrorized and persued by killer in ever unlikey scenarios.
- grimey set design and lowlit cinematography trying to disguise the fact it's a slick 8 million dollar studio film.

and so on...

But don't listen to anything I say, I actually liked the 2003 and 2006 films...

Me too, and I expect that I'll like this too, and I'm not ashamed to admit it either so there
