Leatherface poster is udderly awesome

Lionsgate and Millennium Films already released the first trailer for Leatherface, the next installment in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre legacy, the world that Tobe Hooper and Kim Henkel created way back in 1973. And today, the studios have released the official teaser poster, that sees the leather angle taken literally!

In Texas, years before the events of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, in the early days of the infamous Sawyer family, the youngest child is sentenced to a mental hospital after a suspicious incident leaves the sheriffs’ daughter dead. Ten years later, he kidnaps a young nurse and escapes with 3 other inmates. Pursued by authorities including the deranged sheriff out to avenge his daughter’s death, the young Sawyer teen goes on a violent road trip from hell, molding him into the monster known now as Leatherface.

The film will mark the eighth overall entry in the franchise, which currently includes, in addition to Tobe Hooper’s original, three sequels, a remake, a prequel to the remake and a modern-day “direct sequel.”

Directed by acclaimed French filmmaking duo Julian Maury and Alexandre Bustillo (Inside, Livid) from a script penned by Seth M. Sherwood, the film stars Stephen Dorff (Blade), Vanessa Grasse (Roboshark), Sam Strike (EastEnders) and Lili Taylor (The Conjuring).

Leatherface will be released on DIRECTV on September 21, with a limited theatrical run and VOD release following on October 20. Check out the beautiful, bovine-themed poster below!
