NEW YORK--(ENTERTAINMENT WIRE)--Oct. 28, 1998--

Fifth Film in Series in Pre-Production

THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE Massacre

Theatrical Release Slated for 1999

Unapix Entertainment, Inc. has acquired theatrical rights to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and has begun pre-production on The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - 25th Anniversary (TX25) announced Robert Baruc, president of Unapix Films, the new feature film division of Unapix Entertainment. TX25, the fifth motion picture in the popular series, is planned to be released theatrically in 1999.

"We're so excited to be associated with this project," said Mr. Baruc in making the announcement, "not in the least because we're all fans who have practically grown up on this classic horror series. TX25 will have all the thrills Thrills and chills of the 1974 original, but will deliver them in a hip, contemporary way. We're confident this will be a huge project, particularly in light of the success at the box office recently of genre film sequels such as "H2O;" "The Bride of Chucky" and "Scream 2."

Mr. Baruc, who will be executive producer on the project, said that Unapix is currently in discussion with a number of writers and directors for the film. Deborah Thompson-Duda, vice president of Unapix Films' west coast office, will oversee production. "This is representative of the type of film profile we're pursuing - young and commercial with solid theatrical appeal."

Unapix Entertainment Inc. is a global entertainment company specializing in producing, licensing and distributing market driven feature films, television programming and special interest home video in all media worldwide.


Anyone here old enough to remember this? I was a kid and was first getting into the series when this news was announced. I was really looking forward to it. A shame it was never made. It evolved into TX2000 as time went on, but then it just disappeared.

I actually love that idea! I just hope it wouldn't be Scream-like if it was made.
Probably would've been called "THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE: RETRIBUTION", and set one year after FINAL HARVEST.

I thought of turning Tommy Hardesty into this bad ass Ash type character who fights killers instead of zombies. FINAL HARVEST would simply be an origin for a series of films where he's pitted against evil.
