Horror Director Addresses Those Glen Powell ‘The Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ Rumors

Earlier this year, the rumor mill began churning with our favorite kind of speculation — the Glen Powell variety — mixed with our favorite genre — horror. The whispers seemed to indicate that the Top Gun: Maverick and Twisters star was on his way to getting twisted up with the remake of an iconic slasher flick from yesteryear: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. These early rumblings also indicated that Strange Darling scribe and helmer, Jt Mollner, who will soon flex his writing muscles with Francis Lawrence’s adaptation of Stephen King’s The Long Walk, would be backing the reboot, setting up a match made in heaven — or, in the case of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre — hell. Mollner’s frequent collaborator and producer, Roy Lee, was also thrown into the mix of gossip, so when The Mary Sue editor and sometimes Collider writer, Rachel Leishman, spoke with the pair during the Sdcc festivities, she inquired about the killer rumors.
