Texas Chainsaw Massacre Prequel Finds Its Young Leatherface
It looks like the Young Leatherface in the upcoming prequel of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre has been cast, with Eastenders star Sam Strike landing his first part in a Hollywood movie.
The Wrap confirmed, along with multiple sources, that Strike is in talks for the lead role in the new movie, titled Leatherface, but has not yet totally closed the deal. The feature, which is being directed by French filmmakers Juliem Maury and Alexandre Bustillo, is expected to be set in the 1970s and follow the early years of the titular horror icon as he grows up. Strike is in negotiations to play Jackson, "the teenager who grows up to be Leatherface."
