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. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tApparently, the deal hasn\u2019t closed yet, but A24 has the pole position. Another source close to the deal tells us that this is all premature, but it\u2019s clear that the genre label behind Hereditary isn\u2019t letting this one go. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tThe A24 win beats out a Bryan Bertino directed and co-written feature with Oz Perkins producing as well as a Taylor Sheridan produced version of Leatherface. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tWe are told that Jordan Peele\u2019s run at <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/tag\/texas-chainsaw-massacre\/\" id=\"auto-tag_texas-chainsaw-massacre\" data-tag=\"texas-chainsaw-massacre\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Texas Chainsaw Massacre<\/a> dissipated quite quickly. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tNow Lee was also looking to do a Netflix movie feature of Texas Chainsaw Massacre; that we hear is still in the cards with A24 producing. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tWe\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2025\/03\/texas-chainsaw-massacre-glen-powell-jt-mollner-1236346692\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">first told you<\/a>\u00a0about this beauty contest, administered by <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/tag\/verve\/\" id=\"auto-tag_verve\" data-tag=\"verve\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Verve<\/a>, the agency having repped rights to the slasher franchise since 2017.
