In November 2010, it was reported that the plot will follow the events after the 1974 film.[3] Sources later reported in June 2011 that it will also involve a girl named Heather and her friends traveling to Texas to collect an inheritance, that includes Leatherface.[4]
The cast list was released in a Lionsgate press release on July 19, 2011.[5]
Gunnar Hansen has a cameo in the film. Hansen portrayed Leatherface in the 1974 original. Marilyn Burns who played the original film's lead character, Sally, also has a cameo.
In January 2007, when asked if a third film continuing the plot of the 2006 remake, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning was in production, producer Bradley Fuller stated that there were no future plans for Platinum Dunes to continue the franchise.[6] In October 2009, Twisted Pictures landed a deal with the The Texas Chainsaw Massacre rights-holders Bob Kuhn and Kim Henkel after discussions with Platinum Dunes fell apart. The deal is for multiple films.[7] Carl Mazzocone signed on to produce The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D, with Avi Lerner and Mark Burg serving as executive producers.[8] It was written by Debra Sullivan and Adam Marcus, with later drafts by Kirsten Elms and John Luessenhop.[1] Luessenhop will also direct.[4]
The film moved into pre-production in June 2011.[8][9] Principal photography began in late July 2011 at Millennium Studios in Shreveport, Louisiana.[10][11] Filming of a pool party sequence took place on August 1.[12] In late August, production moved to Mansfield at the Courthouse Square and the city's Sheriff's office.[13]
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D is scheduled for an October 5, 2012 release.[1][9] Lionsgate has the United States distribution rights and Nu Image will handle international sales beginning at the Cannes Film Festival.[8]
