Fede Alvarez’s TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE Reboot Fires Directors One Week Into Shooting
Fede Alvarez and Legendary’s reboot of Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chainsaw Massacre has run into some pretty epic drama. Yesterday, directors Andy & Ryan Tohill have left the film over some creative differences a week into shooting.
Production is shut down this week in Bulgaria, but no worries as Legendary has already hired a new director in the form of relative newcomer, David Blue Garcia.
Garcia fittingly hails from Texas and is an Emmy-winning director-cinematographer. His feature debut Tejano was shot for just $58K and hit HBO back in January. He has also shot commercials for Verizon, Lenovo, Fisher-Price, T-Mobile, and Firestone.
Garcia will be re-shooting from scratch.
Alvarez (Evil Dead, Don’t Breathe) produces with Rodolfo Sayagues, Kim Henkel, and Ian Henkel, and Pat Cassidy. It stars Elsie Fisher (Castle Rock), Sarah Yarkin (Happy Death Day 2U), Jacob Latimore (The Maze Runner), and Moe Dunford (Vikings).
