EXCLUSIVE
Platinum Dunes Talks 'Texas 3', Upcoming Slate

Tonight while attending the press screening for Rogue Pictures' The Hitcher remake in Hollywood, CA we ran into Platinum Dunes producers Brad Fuller and Andrew Form, who have nearly a dozen new films in the works. We chatted up a bit and I got some updates on a few of the already announced films, including their plan for a third Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Read on for the skinny and check out The Hitcher on January 19th.


When asked about the possibilities of a Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3 he tells Bloody-Disgusting that Platinum Dunes has absolutely no plans in the future to continue the franchise, for them it's finished.

He also tells us that right now they are prepping their next film, The Horsemen, based on an original script by David Callaham. The film, which is being directed by Jonas Akerlund, will begin shooting within the next few weeks. In the film Dennis Quaid will play a bitter detective grieving over his wife's recent death. While investigating a case, he discovers a shocking connection between himself and the suspects in a serial killing spree linked to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

Also right down the slate is Carey Malloy's Alone, which we're told is going to be one hell of a brutal film.

Lastly we're told that a major announcement is forthcoming for The Birds - watch this spot for the names of the writers behind the adaptation of the original short story.

The Hitcher hits theaters January 19th.

That sucks ass! I was counting on them to make a third one, I hope they are just bullshitting, and keeping things low key for now.

Jesus Christ, can these idiots come up with a fucking original idea? In case nobody has figured this out yet, all they want is your money, and the easiest way of getting it is to get you to line up and feed you a variation of the crack you've already had before. If that's your thing, all the power to you--but someday you might just wake up and realize these idiots have been digging into your pockets and nothing more. As for Zombie's remake--why even bother? His "explanation" of the origins is so unnecessary... Sometimes less is more, just ask George Lucas and his idiotic midichloriads.
