A24 to Acquire 'Texas Chain Saw Massacre' Film Rights
Imagine a scary movie called 'Texas Chain Saw Massacre'.
A company called A24 is trying to get the rights to make more movies and shows based on it.
They are ahead in the race to get the rights.
The first new project might be a TV series.
There are other companies that also wanted the rights, like Bryan Bertino and Taylor Sheridan, but it looks like A24 is winning.
There's also a chance for a new movie on Netflix.
The original movie was made with a small budget and earned a lot of money.
Over time, the franchise has made a lot more money through multiple movies and other things like games.
A24 is likely to win the film and TV rights to 'Texas Chain Saw Massacre'.
JT Mollner, Roy Lee, and Glen Powell are set to produce the first series.
A24's acquisition beats out other potential projects.
A Netflix movie is still in the mix, with A24 producing.
The original 1974 film grossed $31M.
