At the American Film Market, Shock Til You Drop found a one-page summary of the plot for next year's upcoming reboot of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, which will supposedly be a direct sequel to the original film. The site sums up the plot below, saying that they don't want to give everything away (as the sheet they found was set up like a sort of script treatment. Obviously, there will be some SPOILERS in the following synopsis, so if you don't want to be spoiled before watching the film, then don't bother reading.
Twenty years ago, the town of Newt, Texas exacted vengeance on the Sawyer family for their role in assisting and concealing murders committed by the chainsaw-wielding maniac Jeb Sawyer, aka "Leatherface." The entire family was presume killed when Burt Hartman led the townspeople to burn down their farm house, but the Sawyer infant survived and was secretly taken away by two of the vigilante townies, Gavin and Arlene, and raised their daughter Heather. It's not until she's in her twenties that Heather learns that she's adopted. A lawyer for her grandmother tracks her down with word she's been left an inheritance.
Angry at her parents for lying to her, she sets out for Texas on a road trip with her boyfriend Ryan, friends Nikki and Kenny, and Darryl, a hitchhiker they pick up on the way.
Ultimately, Leatherface shows up when this team arrive in Newt, Texas and he raises some hell.
Sounds pretty interesting to me. Be sure to sound off your thoughts below in the usual place.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D hits theaters October 5th, 2012.
