Faux Leatherface UK Debacle – The Director Speaks!
Yesterday we brought you news that Lightning Pictures released a movie this week in the UK entitled Leatherface but it is NOT Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury’s Leatherface (a release date for that is as of yet to be determined). Instead the film is actually Rene Perez’s Playing with Dolls: Bloodlust, the sequel to his 2014 film Playing with Dolls.
This is a complete and total pile of bullshit meant only to mislead consumers and make a quick buck. Today Perez contacted us with a statement…
“I am apposed [sic] to this title change but I am powerless to stop it. I made no money from this sale. The sales agency didn’t even inform me that a sale was made to the UK. I was unaware until I saw this article. At the moment I am making a 3rd Playing with Dolls movie. I will be self releasing the new Playing with Dolls online to avoid any issues like this in the future. Apologies to my fellow horror fans for this title change.”
Roger that, Rene. Thanks for reaching out, and again… shame on you, Lightning Pictures.
