We were the first to break the news that a new Texas Chainsaw Massacre was on the way, and now TheWrap has confirmed this.

They learned who is behind the screenplay, Black List scribe Seth M. Sherwood, who will be penning the teenage years of Leatherface.

The new incarnation will take place before Tobe Hooper’s 1974 cult classic, making it a massive franchise prequel.

Millennium Films is behind the prequel, with Lionsgate in talks to distribute.

Production could start as soon as this winter, says the site, with a director expected to sign on in the coming weeks.
