A24 Looks To Hook Film & TV ‘Texas Chain Saw Massacre’ Rights; JT Mollner, Roy Lee & Glen Powell Series Up First

Sources say that A24 is winning the film and TV rights for Texas Chainsaw Massacrewhich were up for auction and had a handful of bidders. First up would be a series from JT Mollner, Roy Lee and Glen Powell though the latter will not star, as we previously told you.

Apparently, the deal hasn’t closed yet, but A24 has the pole position. Another source close to the deal tells us that this is all premature.

We first told you about this beauty contest, administered by Verve, the agency having repped rights to the slasher franchise since 2017. Exurbia Films is the primary production company behind Texas Chainsaw Massacre, with Pat Cassidy, Ian Henkel and Kim Henkel as producers. The property is repped by attorney Marios Rush.

Hooper directed the original movie, and co-wrote with Kim Henkel.
