There are a few other suitors who have thrown their names in the hat, other than Taylor Sheridan. Distributor NEON (Anora) is also interested in acquiring the Texas Chainsaw Massacre property, which would reportedly lead to Oz Perkins (Longlegs, The Monkey) writing a version of the film with Bryan Bertino directing. Iconic horror writer and director Jordan Peele is also interested via his Monkeypaw
producing banner. Monkeypaw has a deal with Universal, which could help float some serious cash behind the purchase. Producer Roy Lee (A Minecraft Movie) is also interested in acquiring the Texas Chainsaw Massacre property for two potential projects — a TV series via A24 with Glen Powell involved as a producer, and a feature film at Netflix. There are reportedly no frontrunners among this star-studded bunch.
